Experiencing anxiety can feel isolating, even when surrounded by caring people. You're wearing a smile on the outside; but on the inside, you feel overwhelmed. You worry that your stress is impacting those you love. You've tried different strategies to reduce it. They aren't helping. Deep inside you know there's a better way to live, but you're not sure how to do it. The idea of going to therapy feels vulnerable, but you're willing to try at this point. You just want to feel better. I want to help you.

With 25+ years of experience, I help high-achievers quiet anxiety and perfectionism, support couples rebuilding trust, and guide women through perimenopause and menopause. I also work with adults healing from childhood abuse. My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and practical, in-person in San Diego or telehealth statewide.

Featuring a client portal that allows for ease of completing documentation and scheduling online. Ample free parking. I make therapy easy to fit into your busy life. I invite you to email or call, so we can discuss your difficulties and determine if my approach is right for you.
