I am offering Telehealth services due to COVID-19. At this point I don't offer in person sessions. I became a therapist to help others live a fuller, happier life. My years as Marriage and Family Therapist, help me provide you with the skills you need to ease your emotional pain, build better relationships and change your life for the better. I am spiritual and my practice is based on spiritual connection, empathy, deep understanding and compassion. I can also provide you with the coping skills to live a better happier life. I have limited availability for insurance and only take Anthem Blue Cross.
I use an eclectic mix of psychotherapy, Jungian, modern methods including DBT, Maudsley, Body positivity, social justice, intuitive eating, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I enjoy helping couples resolve conflict. I can help you live a more meaningful life.
I view therapy as a sacred healing process built on trust, acceptance, and deep understanding. My style is creative, warm, non-judgmental, empathetic, engaging, direct and honest. I combine a nurturing, and supportive approach with the practical skills I have gained in 30 years of training and experience.
