Love. Joy. Ecstasy. Awe. In my 18 years of clinical experience, I’ve discovered that we each have far more capacity for these expansive feelings than we often realize. Whether you are contending with many challenges, or feel ready to fly through the stars, I can work with you collaboratively to shape a life that fulfills your highest dreams, and maybe even soars beyond them. I’m eager to share what I’ve learned about our abilities to break out of old patterns of pain, fear, and shame into fruitful creativity and communion with the most inspiring aspects of being alive.

Do you seek relief from anxiety, low self worth, ruminating thoughts? Are you creative, highly sensitive, or a "black sheep"? I see you... I can provide you a rich connection, safe space to explore, and teach coping tools + skills. I use brain science, evidence-based techniques, somatic, Jungian, CBT, IFS Parts Work, and arts therapies in our work. I also believe we all have innate gifts/strengths that we reactivate through meaningful connections, like therapy. Together, we'll transform your anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues by exploring stories, editing automatic beliefs, and releasing emotions your body hold to gain peace.

Do you want to get closer to finding inner peace and alleviate your suffering? Do you want to live a better life? Do you want to find your authentic self again? There is no cookie cutter approach to healing.

Whether you are coming to therapy to heal, grieve, recover or rediscover- it would be a privilege to journey with you this season. I hope to provide you with compassionate and caring support as we explore and process your story together. I have over 15 years of experience and have worked with a wide range of individuals from college students to older adults, creative professionals to family caregivers.

Let us have a conversation about YOU without skipping the difficult issues due to the shame that society has attached to them: your body, your sexuality, your desires, your darkest fantasies, your weaknesses, your fears, your disappointments, your failures, and everything that makes you human. Be prepared to be received in an accepting space that would allow your organic self to come into being which will pave the way for self discovery and living authentically. To know and become one's authentic self is the key to a life well-lived.

Would you like to experience a change in your life and in your relationships? You may be experiencing increased levels of anxiety, fear, depression, overwhelm and isolation- living with unresolved trauma. I am committed to helping you find a greater sense of well-being and relief, and to gently help you reconnect to your heart. My approach to psychotherapy is based in depth psychology. I offer creative and mindfulness-based strategies combined with trauma-informed tools integrating my work in Jungian and spiritual psychology with neuropsychology.

Whether you are grappling with challenges in your life or seeking to enhance your psychological well-being, having the support and guidance of a therapist can often be helpful. I applaud your taking this step and thank you for looking at my service description. With over 40 years of experience as a psychologist, I offer deep listening, clinical knowledge, and practical directions to help you improve your psychological wellness and further your personal fulfillment.

I work with you to find peace and meaning in your life. It might not be easy, but I believe it's possible for everyone. As society increasingly ignores the vital role relationships and emotions play in our daily choices, I strive to help you reconnect with those feelings and use them responsibly to enhance your relationships. We will work together to understand your role in the larger tapestry of life and feel more comfortable within it. To me, the real goal of therapy is to embrace our feelings and understand their usefulness, not squash them down in favor of mere logic like a Vulcan.

As Doctor of Clinical Psychology and Master of Spiritual Psychology, I am combining a larger spiritual perspective with clinical insight and life skill oriented pragmatism. Crisis is opportunity. We facilitate transition into your greater potential by calling forth your inherent resources. Healing comes first, so coaching the mind can become maximally efficient. Your growth in awareness can shift formerly 'unseen inner mechanics' - unresolved pain, limiting beliefs etc. Setting dormant energy and creativity free lets you experience ease in every day living and helps you create harmonious relationships with Self and the world.

You are innately worthy. When you truly believe and remember that, your life falls into place. I help clients feel heard, seen, and grounded so they can experience honesty in their relationships, fulfillment in their work, and confidence in themselves. In my former life as a TV producer and comedian, I loved operating at a high level while making people laugh – no matter how dark or difficult things sometimes seemed. This quality eventually led me to become a therapist. As your therapist, I can help you optimize your work, harness your creativity, and find balance in your life; all with a healthy dose of humor and authenticity.

Therapy is a powerful tool for manifesting healing, improved functioning, and can bring tremendous rewards! This is most effective when a client is ready and willing to make change. It is my intention to be of loving service in supporting my clients as they courageously open themselves to learning, healing, and growing; we are a team, in creating the life they truly desire and deserve! I strive to facilitate deep healing, positive growth, and lasting change with a solution-oriented and strength-based approach. I endeavor to create an authentic and compassionate experience for every client, in every session. I invite you to dive in!

No matter how dark things appear right now or how great the pain, I believe there is hope. Life can throw some crazy curve balls. I know how earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. So if you feel like giving up, give me a call instead.

Through the practice of Psychotherapy, I will assist you in identifying the root cause of your current struggles in an effort to break toxic patterns that no longer serve you.

When you feel like you're spinning your wheels, therapy can provide traction you need to get your life moving forward. Therapy can help you learn how to stop struggling with creative stagnation, worry, self-doubt, lack of motivation, loneliness, homesickness, or the pain of loss. Therapy can help get you unstuck from repeated struggles with yourself and difficulties with others. In our meetings, you and I will work together to identify roadblocks that keep holding you back. I will assist you in creating permanent strategies for getting past those roadblocks to build a more complete, fulfilling, dynamic, and purposeful life.

My practice is fully remote and therefore I am able to treat anyone residing in California. I specialize in areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues and trauma. Treatment may be brief to address a current problem or long term to work through lifelong patterns and gain insight . My style is working together and assisting you in finding meaning and resolution to your problems.

Welcome! My approach is warm, personable and non-judgmental. I work collaboratively with clients to find real solutions that work for their lives. The focus is on you and together we can get you from where you are now to where you want to be! I have a lot of experience with addiction, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LAADC) in addition to being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Assisting people who are struggling with difficult issues is the heart of what I love to do.

Parenting is a veritable obstacle course of questions, confusion and worry. For almost twenty years I have helped parents like you navigate these obstacles, and learn to better connect with their children. Therapy with me is like a gymnasium where we explore and wrestle with your inner conflicts and "stuck" feelings around parenting. We work as partners toward a greater understanding of yourself and your child.
