I think of therapy as the opening of a conversation. Often, the struggles that bring us to therapy are actually invitations—doorways to growth, change, and new possibilities. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I offer Telehealth services to support clients throughout the state. My approach is tailored to the individual. I work collaboratively with each client to identify personal strengths and inner resources as the foundation for navigating life’s challenges. My style is warm, open, and actively engaged.
Specialties include: Anxiety, depression, trauma and post-traumatic growth, as well as major life transitions such as career change, separation/divorce, empty nesting, caregiving, grief and loss. My work is grounded in psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, and somatic psychotherapy. I also draw from neuroscience and mindfulness practices.
Therapy can support greater self-awareness, insight into patterns that block growth and connection, and more effective communication that fosters emotional intimacy. Therapy can bring not only new insights—but meaningful shifts in how we experience our lives. Please feel free to reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
