From nearly 15 years of experience, I know therapy works for lessening suffering and creating positive change. It is one of the best investments you can make in your life. Whether you're an individual or a couple, I can help you with a range of concerns. Are you looking for a therapist who understands? Clients often say that they appreciate my ability to learn about their innermost world. Are you looking for tips, tools and homework? I enjoy focusing on behavior strategies so that you can feel like you are making weekly changes. I strive to create a compassionate, safe, and trusting environment, while being direct and honest.

Are you thriving in your life? Do your pursuits fulfill you, or make you second guess yourself? Perhaps you're caught in constant comparison to your peers. I specialize in helping individuals get past these common hurdles - the ones that hold you back from living a more meaningful life. Whether you are looking to resolve core issues, or trying to achieve balance between work, love and play, people can sometimes feel "stuck." I am here to be your coach, to help you experience your life in a more purposeful way - one that holds value independent of the expectations of others.

In these constantly changing and uncertain times, I am able to offer video sessions (HIPAA compliant) and are able to do all paperwork, payment, scheduling, etc...online so no in-person contact is needed. For those who are comfortable and prefer in-person sessions, I am able to provide that as well in a clean, low traffic office space, where we are able to comfortably social distance and comply with all governmental requirements. Either way, I still offer a 30 minute free consultation to answer any questions and/or determine if you feel we would be a good fit.

I am a mindfulness oriented integrative clinical psychologist with extensive experience in a wide range of therapeutic methods to help you overcome obstacles, end unhealthy patterns and achieve well being. For over 30 years I have been adding, blending and refining many treatment modalities, including mindfulness psychotherapy, MCBT and psychodynamic therapy to ensure the best fit for each person while encouraging self-compassion. My style is active, intensive and collaborative. If you have a willingness for self-examination as well as the motivation to try new ways of thinking and acting, then I can facilitate that journey.

As a sport psychologist, I work with athletes, high performers, and BIPOC -- and I'm ready to work with you. There is a reason why you're reading this -- it's because you're ready. You've been looking for something. Maybe you want to improve your current state. Maybe you want to find ways to reach the "optimal you." Or maybe you're struggling and need someone with whom to walk down the path of healing. Whatever brought you to this moment, it's where you need to be.

Do you find yourself shut down or suppress your feelings? Do you struggle in relationships due to your trauma? Are you unsure of where you belong? I work with people of all identities to process unresolved feelings due to trauma. I strive to provide you a safe and non-judgmental space, in order for you to develop coping mechanisms for trauma symptoms (anxiety, depression, addiction, etc.) and to explore aspects of yourself. I can help you LET GO of past HURTS and develop tools to find RELIEF.

Do you find yourself struggling with your emotions? Does it seem like you are overwhelmed by your feelings, or instead that you have to keep a tight lid on your emotions so as not to do damage to your relationships, career and family life? I work well with people who are struggling with feelings of being "stuck" in their lives and with their emotions, and who wonder if there's more to life in terms of vitality and aliveness. I'll aim to help you increase your emotional intelligence so that your emotions work for rather than against you.

Talking to a therapist through these trying times can be very helpful. The desire to be happy is a natural human instinct. How do we get there? If you're struggling to find solutions, it may be time to talk to someone that can help you identify underlying thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Find real solutions and make real changes to live a happier life.

Our early experiences, thoughts, and emotions can impact the way live our lives and see ourselves. Anxiety, depression, and relationship (family, friends, romantic) can affect our sense of satisfactions and wellbeing. If you feel overwhelmed, scared, or stuck and need assistance dealing with these challenges talking with someone can be helpful. I enjoy working with clients on women issues, increasing awareness, emotion/mood regulation, relationship (family, friends, romantic) patterns, and coping skills.

Asking for help is both difficult and incredibly brave. On the one hand, you know you're in pain and want it to stop. On the other, you may have certain beliefs about what therapy is or who actually goes. Maybe you tell yourself that you "should" be able to handle this alone, that you're "weak" if you can't, or that only people with "real issues" need therapy. And yet, so often when people actually go to therapy, they feel calmer, clearer, more connected, and more fulfilled.

Emotional pain and mental challenges can overwhelm us and keep us from reaching our goals. In these times it is often necessary to seek professional assistance to move us past the ruts in our lives. I work best with people who have had difficulty with relating to their emotions, resolving past suffering, spiritual abuse, chronic illness, somatic issues, finding meaning, and navigating life transitions.

My goal as a therapist is to create a warm, trusting and nonjudgmental environment where we can discuss the issues most important to you. I work with clients that are curious and want to learn more about themselves. In my practice I work with individuals and couples that are experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, sexuality challenges, immigration, family dynamics, ADHD and women’s lifecycle issues.

I provide individual and family therapy to adults and adolescents who are experiencing distress due to transitions in some aspect of their life, whether it is a changing role, experiencing loss, health problems or relationship difficulties. I approach problems from a BioPsychoSocial perspective, which takes into account all of the factors in one's life and how they might contribute to - and help to SOLVE - problems. In addition to focusing on difficult transitions, I have a special focus on co-parenting after divorce and "failure to launch" issues.

We encounter stressors, unexpected challenges, and events in our lives that may cause mild to severe disruption. Understanding that each persons journey is unique, my goal is to walk with you in navigating the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors needed to find comfort in your present day challenges. Ensuring you feel supported and equipped with the necessary skills, together we can create a space to work towards gaining control of the areas of your life that are most important to you.

Life is full of big questions that we all struggle with at some point or another. Who am I? What do I want? Why do I feel, think, or do what I do? What’s the point? When we’re faced with these questions, a spark is ignited within us. Therapy is an opportunity to nurture that spark by exploring these questions with someone who can help you think through new perspectives and ideas to define an existence that is uniquely yours. It’s also an opportunity to connect with a person in an authentic, supportive, safe way.

Everyone goes through different seasons in life and sometimes we need a little help navigating a tough season. Reaching out to ask for help can be scary, but the comforting thing about therapy is that you’re never alone through the process. I take a collaborative approach with my clients as I walk beside them through their difficult time. Additionally, as each season turns, we evolve and there may be shifts in your life that you’re working on adapting to. I have experience with helping people adapt to change and look forward to helping you through that.

Racism, harassment, brutality, microaggressions affect our levels of self-esteem, anxiety and depression. You're feeling shame and embarrassment. You are reeling from the shock, anger and pain and find it difficult to talk to others. You are experiencing trauma, and reliving it in your mind and alone. Telling those who may not understand, often makes it worse. I help and support those who've been affected by inequality of all forms, especially stemming from racism. I provide a safe space where you're heard and validated. Receiving support helped me heal from these experiences, and is crucial. Virtual therapy for CA residents
