Therapists in California

I am a forensic psychotherapist that works with families involved in custody disputes with a focus on the best interests for children. My focus with all clients is to find solutions to complex issues. My approach is direct and goal oriented. For psychotherapy, I treat individuals, families, and children. I also hold closed support groups for Recovery from Psychological Abuse (specifically narcissistic abuse). I work extensively with individuals going through divorce. I enjoy working with children and teens in treating depression/ anxiety, Trauma, Introversion/social anxiety, peer issues, and parental conflict/divorce.

My guess is that you thought it would be better than this. You've probably done it all "right" and yet aren't feeling fulfilled in your life and relationships, and get stuck in a negative self-identity preventing true joy. I know that you want more connected and authentic relationships, and to get out of reactive patterns that keep getting you stuck. Parenting is hard, communication isn't always effective, and your inner-critic can really get in the way. You want more ease and to let go of the old outdated narratives. When you can understand your patterns, heal the wounds, and be more present, more authenticity and joy is possible!

I believe that being raised in the mid-west gives my work certain down-to-earth, practical qualities that most of my clients tell me they very much appreciate.

Still others benefit from my years of counseling experience and information targeted to help with their particular problems.
