Psychotherapy is a space to make meaning of your unique life experiences and explore—with a collaborative listener, a thought partner—how you can live differently. A compassionate and deep understanding of self allows you to live fuller and more satisfying lives, not bound by old patterns. My goal is to help you understand how your mind works, digest difficult experiences, and develop the capacity to build and maintain enriching relationships with others and yourself. We will be listening to your mind and body in depth, including aspects that are not readily available to us. Understanding your mind in this way can be transformative.

Individually or as a couple, you're exhausted from holding everything together while no one really sees how hard it is. Maybe anxiety, depression, past trauma, or constant conflict leaves you feeling lonely—in your own life or in your marriage. You're tired of walking on eggshells, repeating the same arguments, or shutting down to keep the peace. You want calmer communication, deeper emotional safety, and connection where you can show up fully—without losing your values, your faith, or your sanity. Whether navigating this alone or with a partner, you deserve to feel seen, safe, and grounded in who you are.

Life can be challenging. We all face trials that leave us disappointed, hurt, and drained of hope and joy. In these moments, therapy can offer guidance, clarity, and healing. I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and thrive with the right support. My focus areas include attachment injuries, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, grief, emotional healing, and spiritual struggles. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, build emotional resilience, and move toward a more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling life. Together, we can work toward healing and rediscovering hope for your future.

Life is hard, regardless of your circumstance. Sometimes we carry trauma and pain from childhood and our family of origin, sometimes the stress hits us later in life. I have over 15 years of experience working with a wide range of mental and emotional health issues. Through collaboration, empathy, and a strength-based outlook, my goal is to take some of life’s weight off your shoulders. We all deserve to be heard, to be respected, and to be happy.

I counsel in Spanish, French & Japanese.
Psychotherapy with me often involves work with early memories and dreams through guided imagery, and music. Check my website for Creative Visualization recordings that I have produced, including: Mindfulness, Dream & Sleep, Enhancing Relationships, Healing Pain & Illness, Centering & Weight Loss, Perspective on Life/Follow Your Dreams, Relaxation, and more.
