Using a holistic, strength-based approach we will explore factors that may have gotten in the way of achieving your goals, such as life stressors, relationship difficulties, or insecurities.

I believe deeply in the transformative potential and enduring nature of psychotherapy. When we're feeling stuck, confused or alone, therapy can help us to untangle our emotions, clarify our struggles, and better understand ourselves and others - ultimately forming inroads to real and lasting change. I am a compassionate and collaborative therapist: I establish a safe, non-judgmental space where our mutual exploration of your relationships, family history, career, sexuality, or whatever is troubling you currently - as well as aspects of our therapeutic relationship - will open pathways to new awareness and opportunities for welcome change, growth and healing.

The therapy I provide is transparent, warm, emotionally focused, compassionate, and solution oriented. I have over 15+ years of clinical experience and worked in multiple settings over these years. Whether you have panic attacks, obsessions, limerance, trauma relate symptomologies, or your partner is not giving you what you need, I offer the support and ears that you need to help process your emotions and thoughts. I am a therapist who not only will validate your emotions, but also give you the tools and skills based on my knowledge and expertise. I will be gentle and follow at your pace.

Life often presents difficult obstacles that can stand between who you are and who you want to be. Some obstacles may be unhealthy patterns in your relationships, overwhelming sadness or worry, not feeling good enough, or a loss of direction or purpose in your life.

We are all on a journey toward deeper healing and connection. My passion is to help couples and individuals experience more satisfying relationships and personal wholeness. I am an empathic, dynamic therapist ready to come alongside people from all walks of life in the sojourn through seasons of growth, challenge, and change. My areas of interest include pre-marital and couples therapy, individual identity development, spiritual and faith issues, family growth, parenting, and child/teen issues. I am also certified in PREPARE/ENRICH, a program for pre-marital and marital couples.

Therapy provides an opportunity to become aware of what may and what may not be working in your life. Oftentimes we perceive and respond to the world around us in ways that have become habitual or familiar but may no longer be helpful, which can lead to feelings of sadness, anxiety, guilt, or alienation.

Family conflicts and understanding your child or teen can be frustrating, but with the right help and support, understanding your child or teen can be a wonderful experience. I've been working with children and adolescents for over 15 years. I love working with children and adolescents, because I struggled during those years, myself, and would have benefited from someone helping me to understand the various emotional struggles a child or teen goes through. I specialize in working with individuals living with Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADD/ ADHD, depression, anxiety, and school and home behavioral problems.

You might find yourself repeating situations that cause suffering. Though you are aware of this, you do not know why you find yourself in the same situation, for example with one after another of unsatisfying partners, friends, jobs, etc. In the way that I work, my patients and I listen in a unique way to what is being spoken so that something can be heard, and thus known, and now something negative will not have to be repeated in the same way. You can free yourself to do things in other, more satisfying ways for yourself. It is not easy, but well worth the investment.

I believe one of the bravest things that you can do is to begin to understand your own story and prioritize your mental health healing journey. You deserve to live a life that leaves you excited to wake up every morning. In therapy, my goal is to cultivate an environment where you will feel safe to heal from all the emotional wounds and pain you've been carrying around. Calling a therapist can be an intimidating thing to do but I hope you take a moment to pick up the phone and see how I can help.

As your therapist, I am committed to offering a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental partnership where we can join to understand what is causing your current suffering. If you are looking for a safe and collaborative space to achieve your goals and move forward, I can help. I specialize in the treatment of chronic pain and anxiety in adults and young adults. I am a licensed psychotherapist in California, Nevada, and Arizona. I also offer coaching services nationally and internationally.

Are you feeling stuck although you've already achieved a lot in your life? Do you feel you have reached many of the goals in life you set for yourself, and yet still feel there is something missing or have feelings of depression and emptiness? Do you have a difficult time enjoying the success that you have achieved? Perhaps you have a feeling of not being able to reach your full potential? These are often signs of a neglect from an early home life that was lacking, to a degree, in nurturing and support.

As a clinical psychologist with more than 10 years of specialized training and experience, I am dedicated to providing effective and research-based approaches to treatment with genuine compassion, empathy, and care. It is my goal to help empower you to change your life by using treatment and assessment techniques designed for both common life stressors and complex mental health conditions. It is my belief that creating a safe and supportive therapeutic environment is essential for my client's growth and I work hard to provide an environment with which my clients feel safe to challenge themselves and grow.
