Teletherapy for California

I have worked with children, families, individuals and couples in many different capacities before finding my calling as a therapist. I have specialized training in couples and marriage counseling, family counseling, PTSD/trauma, adoption and foster care, anxiety and depression, and other mental illness, life changes, grief and loss. I also work with adolescents who are struggling in school or with behavior problems, defiance, and depression and anxiety. I work with couples and families for a variety of reasons. I can help you too.

Intimate partner violence, Sexual Assault is a real problem. (7 out of 10) The shame and torture of the untold story. Crying when no one is looking. Wine, multiple partners, pills, hiding. Time isn’t being friendly. This ever looming weight in the distance. Unwanted outbursts. You can’t sit still unconsciously trying to fill this dark void. Swept under the rug by humiliation, hopeless and in despair, cold and without reprieve. Less than whole, desperate to know that there is an end that doesn’t end it all.
