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.

I feel incredibly fortunate to help my clients find the freedom to live a life of their choosing, improve their relationship with self and others, and find peace. I use brain-based therapies proven to uncover and address issues that talk therapy can take years to heal. In doing so I help children, teens and adults overcome challenges that keep them stuck in negative patterns. Often traumas are at the root of these negative patterns. By offering Brainspotting, a cutting-edge therapy that evolved from EMDR, trauma is accessed, processed and released. This is life-changing. This is freedom.

No Matter Where You May Be In Your Journey, You Are Worth Every Step You Take. For the past 22 years, I have had the honor to be a Licensed Psychotherapist, Trauma Specialist, Professional Counselor, and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in depression, anxiety, disorders of the self, sexual betrayal or partner betrayal trauma, sexual trauma, sexual compulsivity and addiction, PTSD, couples psychotherapy, and marriage and relationship issues. I am a member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists, as well as a Certified EMDR Therapist and member of the EMDR International Association.

I am a strength based holistic integrative therapist. I specialize in assisting people realize their full potential far past any diagnosis they have ever been given or heard from a provider in the past. My ideal client is someone who is ready to move past their own limits and are looking for deeper meaning in their own psychology. I work well with clients who have experienced trauma, anxiety and/or are depressed and are looking for someone to assist in helping them in believing they can become more than their past and their suffering.

On the outside, everything’s fine. You’re known for being courageous and unshakeable; the kind of person others want around in a crisis. But on the inside? On the inside there’s a part of your life that feels inauthentic, unmanageable – maybe even downright unbearable. Maybe your work life and home life are pulling you in a million different directions, and you’re ready to quit one or the other. Maybe you and your partner are stuck on the painful side of a betrayal. Or, maybe your marriage feels strained and disconnected, and you wish you could just get those butterflies back.

Are you dealing with anxiety? Past trauma? Feeling like you're failing to live your best life and the solutions you've tried aren't working? I'm glad you're here and I look forward to working together to help you achieve your goals, quiet your inner critic and set boundaries with problematic people and situations. Sometimes trauma or anxiety turns to depression. I will work with you to minimize your symptoms and come up with solution focused ways to increase functionality in your life. My goal is helping you find the solutions you already have within yourself and build that momentum to increase positive outcomes.

I can offer you both short-term therapy or longer term therapy to address marital, couples, family, or individual concerns. Together with assessment of your presenting problem we can decide what is best. Resolution and change is possible. I have experience working with adults with adult children issues and with couples in getting beyond repeating communication patterns that are stressful.

If you struggle with anxiety or depression, you know how difficult it can be to cope. Anxiety is easy to recognize. We worry more, avoid difficult situations, and feel tense, awkward, or ineffective. Depression feels exhausting and hopeless. We judge ourselves and other people harshly, feel intense sadness, and become passive. It can feel like we can't do anything right or that things never go our way. Imagine being more active, skilled, and competent, communicating more effectively in relationships, being more productive at work or school, and feeling more satisfied with life.

The decision to seek therapy is an important one, as is choosing the right therapist who appreciates the unique challenges, hopes, and concerns that clients have when they come to therapy. I understand this and work to create an environment that offers care and support coupled with a treatment approach tailored to you or your family's own unique individual needs. I incorporate a variety of effective, contemporary techniques that will assist you in resolving the issues that may be interfering with having satisfying, meaningful relationships or contributing to your other personal concerns.

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired? What pattern is holding you back from living your best life? Bad relationships, food, shopping, gambling, anger, depression, anxiety, alcohol, drugs, exercise, sex, parenting, codependency, holding grudges, living in the past, insomnia, joyless, sad, tired, unfulfilled, stressed out, or no self care. I am invested in your highest healing. I help empower you to reclaim a rich and fulfilling life and I reconcile abusive, repetitive cycles and develop self-love, express creative capacity, and authentic spiritual direction.

The search for a therapist can be difficult, so I am very glad you're here. I thoroughly enjoy working with children, adolescents, and families as well as adults. I incorporate parenting support into each session in order to best support both you and your child, making sure to meet your individual needs. I also have a passion for helping support new mothers and their partners through pregnancy, postpartum, and into parenting while they learn to balance life with children. I also provide individual therapy to adults with a myriad of needs including depression, anxiety, general life stressors, and trauma.

Life is about relationships: relationships with ourselves, our work, our family, our friends. Yet self-negating messages, unresolved family issues, shame and anxiety can run our minds ragged, blocking our ability to be present in our own lives. My individualized approach will help you identify negative patterns of thought, identify and express feelings, improve habits, and change areas of your life where you feel stuck. Together, we will work to identify your values, the things that really matter in your life, and identify the action steps that will move you closer to your goals.

Over my many years of experience, I have worked with individuals of all ages with a broad spectrum of challenges. I bring a warm and compassionate attitude into my work and I am especially attuned to providing a safe, non-judgmental, and protected space for individuals struggling with life's challenges.

I offer both therapeutic and diagnostic services. In therapy, clients who benefit most are motivated to work toward change. They seek to improve their moods and progress toward their goals, whether related to relationships, careers, or health. I also supervise an unlicensed psychologist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. She helps them improve family and peer interactions, handle emotional challenges, and master self-control. I’m committed to a practice centered around empathy, caring, and acceptance. I believe establishing deep connections with clients leads to helping them achieve their goals.

My expertise lies in guiding you through some of your most difficult life transitions and in helping you to reach and to honor your fullest potential.

I can also help you to navigate the complex issues around coming out as LBGTQI.

I have been working in the field of psychology for the past 20 years and specifically with teens, adults, and children in therapy as well as psychological evaluations for the past 15 years. I work with individuals experiencing a range of concerns including trauma, anxiety, depression, and anger as well as major life transitions, work, and academic problems. I have a particular focus on issues related to adolescence and young adulthood, relationships, trauma, and parenting.

I am a licensed Psychologist and have specialized training in End-of Life transition, Bereavement, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples. Though I treat many types of clients, I specialize in working with people going through difficult times in their lives to include loss of a loved one or pet, divorce or relationship disruptions, job loss, depression, and other life transitions. I love my work because, although I initially see people at a low point in their life, as we work together in a deeper way over time, they often find the courage and skills to make a lasting change.

Hi! I offer in person, video and phone sessions. I work with clients to create safety, guidance towards inner acceptance, understanding & unconditional positive regard. I work from an emotion focused & trauma focused perspective. I assist clients in understanding current conflict or past trauma. Much of the work is through the unspoken questions: can I connect again? Am I enough?

In doing so, the work allows for the client to establish healthy boundaries & create
