I am passionate about being a Marriage and Family Therapist and receive immense fulfillment from the successes of my clients. Being able to witness my clients take control of their lives and experience increased happiness is inspiring. I have supported clients in decreasing depression, anxiety, and codependency, as well as, increasing relationship satisfaction, motivation, and self-confidence. My style is interactive, collaborative, supportive, empathetic, nonjudgmental, calming, and safe. I have been told that I am "easy to talk to."

Life is exciting and beautiful. And, at the same time it can be painful and chaotic. There are parts of us who want to run away, who want to feel better, or just want to give up. Many of us have the pieces of our puzzle, but we may be looking for a missing piece, or cannot see the full picture. That is where my passion to come alongside you belongs. I enjoy looking at the pieces together with you, putting them into perspective, curiously looking for a missing piece, and finding the spot that “fits best” and feels right. My strategy is to collaborate with you because “you know you best.”

Warmest greetings! I have a private practice in the charming town of Auburn, California. I am considered to be warm, nurturing and provide a safe and caring environment. My specialties include treating trauma, anxiety, depression, loss and grief as well as dealing with the challenges and stress of infertility. Additionally, I offer telehealth sessions as well.

It is my belief that we are are designed to heal through relationships. I am a therapist, but foremost, I am a person who engages others in conversations in attempt to make their lives better. It is my goal to use my skills to help open doors for others to see their own strengths, to feel empowered, and to become liberated. If I am able to convey to you that I am someone you can share your story with and that I am someone that is trustworthy... then movement forward can happen and the healing process will begin.

During 35 years as a therapist, I have experienced working with people in times of difficulties, phases of growth, and at unexpected crossroads. I listen with compassion, understanding and support while providing an opportunity for a new vision. Together we develop a treatment program based on your own personal desire for change. I utilize techniques that can help change habitual negative beliefs and perceptions at a very deep level. Together we work from the premise that what you believe - you become. Therapy can be brief or long-term, depending on what you want to achieve.

The ideal client is one who is ready for change and open to healing. I work with individuals with a variety of mental health issues and help coach and guide utilizing Mindfulness-based practices to help decrease stress and promote happiness.

*Sorry--unable to take new clients at this time.* Everyone struggles with something, and finding someone to talk openly with may be challenging. Whether you're having trouble in your relationships, feeling down all the time, or too angry or anxious to do the things you want to do, psychotherapy may be what you need at this moment. I have 9 years experience working in behavioral health. Psychotherapy works, in part, by building a supportive relationship which allows you to openly explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I aim to provide a warm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and honest environment where this can take place.

I can provide psychotherapy for adults who are experiencing mental discomfort, confusion or emotional crisis. I do not treat children, couples, or families. However I am highly skilled in working with individual clients who need cognitive behavioral guidance. Psychodynamic techniques are used to help you process your emotions and overcome issues from the past.

While living here in the Bay Area for the past 13 years, I have enriched my practice and experience by delving more into school and community-based settings.

Throughout life we all go through various challenges and difficulties, which we are like deep scars within. You don't have to remain stuck or go through this process alone, sometimes we need help to find our way. Starting therapy is beginning the process to better understanding and finding one's true self. It is an intimate process where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, emotions, past, relationships, etc. in a safe and non-judgmental space. I help those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, PTSD, and drug abuse.
