I believe that everybody is unique and that one approach doesn't fit all. I combine evidence based treatment with intuition to tailor treatment to each person's needs, taking into consideration their strengths and weaknesses. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental environment that fosters trust between therapist and client to help clients explore and resolve life challenges.

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out - I AM CURRENTLY FULL....my apologies and best wishes - Let's be real...Life can be challenging...especially RIGHT NOW!!! So much going on with illness, CoVid-19, schools being closed, and working from home or being laid off at work. It is time to be there for each other.......Life is about supporting one another, listening to one another, and creating enjoyable moments. I truly believe it takes a village. If you are feeling challenged with the above items or other daily stressors, relationships, parenting, etc...let's connect!

Are you suddenly struggling with depression, anxiety, and or just feeling overwhelmed from too many life stressors? Or have you struggled with significant depression and anxiety for a long time and are seeking better or new coping skills? Are you an older adult, finding the aging process difficult, memory problems, poor concentration, lack of joy, and problems coping with changes in physical health? If so, maybe it is time to gain the benefits of Psychotherapy and decrease destructive life-patterns, negative thoughts, and ultimately increase joy and peace in your life.

I am a California Licensed Clinical Psychologist who provides psychotherapy to a wide range of clients with different concerns, from mild depression to severe and persistent mental health issues. Since each person is unique, there cannot be a “one size fits all” approach to treatment, and I tailor treatment plans and goals to each individual I see. I support clients in exercising their own free choice and in changing through self-actualization. I am here to help you. Together, we can make the changes you want!

I provide a compassionate, emotionally-attuned space for clients to understand how earlier life experiences have influenced their thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I assist clients in identifying learned habits that stand in the way of the life they desire. I work collaboratively with clients to promote greater emotional resiliency and the ability to constructively deal with life's challenges resulting in more joy and fulfillment. I work with adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, grief, low self-esteem, sexual identity issues, gender issues, relationship difficulties and life transitions.

You are reading this because you, or someone you care for, has been struggling to get through the day. What used to work is now much less effective. Yesterday you felt fine - today anxiety stopped you cold in your tracks. You find yourself pulling away from people you love and activities you enjoy. You are worried about what might be wrong, and maybe feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. I can help you find the way back to you, often without medication.

We can all drift off course on our journey through life. If you are reading this, you may need help finding your way. I specialize in supporting clients as they navigate life stressors and transitions involving family, work, peers, and intimate relationships. I validate your experience and listen without judgement. I will help you to identify the obstacles that keep you from moving forward, to focus on what you can change, and accept what you can't. I will guide you to discover your own internal resources and solutions that make sense and work for you. The answers are within you and therapy provides the opportunity to uncover them.

I work with adults of all ages experiencing anxiety, depression, stress associated with trauma, grief/loss, relationship problems, and life transitions related to aging and older adulthood. My belief is that when people move towards approaching their painful experiences with compassion and curiosity it allows space for making meaningful changes in their lives. In our work together, you will be provided with a supportive environment that honors safety and acceptance. Collaboratively, we will explore healthy strategies for dealing with stress that are consistent with your goals and values.

You’re finding it more and more difficult to hold it all together. After pushing down your emotions and feelings for so long, there is all of a sudden very little space to hold anything else. You’re forgetting things, it’s hard to concentrate, you’re irritable, your body aches. There are times when you feel you could jump out of your skin from the racing thoughts, and there are times where you want to crawl under a rock to escape the overwhelm. What has always worked in the past is not even touching these feelings.

Are you going through a big life transition such as retirement, career change, or the end of an important relationship? Are you experiencing pandemic-related stressors? Struggling with constant stress and burnout at work? Feel like you’re constantly working, on the go, taking care of everyone and everything with no time for yourself? Living with chronic illness or trying to cope with a medical problem, illness or injury? Please email me - I can help.

Choosing a therapist is an important decision. My goal as your therapist is to help you find healthy ways to engage in life and use your strengths to help understand, uncover, and dismantle what is creating anxiety, depression and other emotional concerns you may find yourself living with. Therapy can help to create an environment to move through the process of self-discovery and self-awareness in a safe way. The treatments I work with have proven to be effective, including psychodynamic psychotherapy, mindfulness therapy, and EMDR. I believe therapy is foremost, about building a trusting relationship with a qualified person.

*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.
