Behavior is an alamalgamation of learned patterns that lead to particular outcomes. Engaging in therapy with Counseling Alternatives for Recovery Maintenance (CARM) will help you identify patterns that no longer serve your desired goals and will help you develop in ways that improve your quality of life...Are you ready?

I view therapy as a collaborative process toward healing, where I helps folks identify and bring awareness to their behavioral patterns, build curiosity about where these patterns come from and how they serve/served them, and how they may get in the way of thriving. In therapy, I help people develop new skills, perspectives, and offer additional options and pathways for living, not just surviving. Licensed as a clinical psychologist for 3+ years and have 9+ years of working in mental health in a variety of settings including schools, community outpatient, residential treatment, psychiatric hospitals, and integrated healthcare.

We all experience challenging and overwhelming periods in life. We often turn to friends, family, or faith is often helpful in navigating life's paths, we also benefit from a trained ear that can listen from the outside. Therapy is a safe place for exploration; a journey towards more fulfilling relationships and a time of learning new ideas and skill sets to enjoy a more satisfying life. I work with clients in a safe confidential setting where we can explore any issues that are of concern to you.

Depression, anxiety, trauma, and other negative influences can foster doubt and isolation. Fears usurp our natural capacity for joy. Life transitions are challenging and affect entire families. Don't go it alone. Psychotherapy can help evoke wholeness and health, renew relationships and perspective. Be the person you were born to be. Know yourself and make an informed change.

The human experience can be extremely challenging at times. With practice, you can learn to navigate the difficult parts of life with more ease, acceptance, and inner peace. I believe in the proven benefits of mindfulness-based therapies which is why my approach to therapy is hands on using therapy models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MBCB). I specialize in treating depression and anxiety disorders, and helping people navigate difficult life transitions.

I offer lovingly honest support to individuals and couples motivated to create change in their lives. Clients that work with me often gain insights, feel more connected to themselves and others and increase their emotional well being.

I know what it’s like to deeply love someone and yet not bring your best self to the relationship. I learned how to have a healthy relationship through facing my fears of vulnerability and failure and taking responsibility for my actions in my relationship. I seek to help couples who are highly committed to one another and are facing a crisis or struggling to connect. When there is crisis or stress, we often rely on unhelpful habits and ways of communicating that wear on our relationships. Let’s work on that love connection that you are both are wanting.

I am a psychodynamic therapist trained in Berkeley, Calif., and primarily work from Object Relations and Control Mastery theories. I also incorporate the Japanese based Naikan psychotherapy and Mindfulness Meditation that may benefit from more of an Eastern approach in their treatment.

Working through life’s challenges sometimes requires the support, guidance and expertise of an effective counselor. Whether you need to work your way out of a rut, have what feels like intractable habits, or just want to elevate your existence, I can help you harness your inner power and get you on your way to experiencing your true potential.
