Many clients come to me depressed, grief stricken, or at a loss for where to proceed in their lives. Faulty thinking can block the ability to realize new options for thoughts and behaviors. Training, wisdom, and life experiences allow me to help guide my clients to their best therapeutic path, to personalize treatment, and to help them find their purpose. I work with trauma survivors, people with disabilities, life transitions, crises, hospice care, death, and chronic anxiety. I'm also trained to support artists through their creative struggles. That process provides them the foundation to strengthen them for any future challenges.

"Out beyond ideas of wrong doing and right doing there is a field. I'll meet you there." Rumi. I have over 15 years of experience dealing with individuals, couples, groups in various issues. The heart of my work is to assist you to live an emotionally authentic life in relationship to yourself and others. In the process of discovering your true self you will learn how certain emotions, behaviors and beliefs have affected your life and your relationships and you will become empowered to make important changes. My style is warm, non-judgmental and at the same time direct and confrontative.

In 2023 and beyond, my work ethic continues: Working together, we greet Pain and Suffering and ask "How will you serve my development?" Psychotherapy isn't about finding perfection, but pursuing wholeness and respecting our Self. It's simple. It's complicated. It can be very difficult, and and there are laughter and surprises to be enjoyed. Go for it: tend to your emotional to-do list, relationship overhaul/finesse, deep discovery, gather energy to take your journey to the next level. Mid-life? Starting out on your own? Starting/ending a relationship? Creative and stuck? Uncertain times require what we have— wisdom and creativity.

Like you, I have experienced changes, and uncertainties, but with the guidance and support of others, I have learned new skills to manage stressors.
I am licensed both in California and Hawaii. Trained in EMDR. Your life may have changed significantly in ways that you did not expect because of the pandemic. You had certain plans, goals, and dreams but now you are facing isolation, depression, and lack of motivation. Or you may be experiencing problems with relationships, finances, or substance abuse. Regardless of the issues you are facing, if you are feeling worried, anxious, guilty, or confused, now is the time for you to regain control of your life.

I help clients with anxiety, OCD, trauma, depression, and other mental health issues live a better life. My clients may feel they aren’t good enough and struggle with perfectionism. They may overthink and are unable to make decisions. They don’t want to feel stuck. I collaborate with clients to overcome these challenges, know themselves more deeply, and express themselves more effectively in all areas of life so they may reach their full potential.

I am here to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself, cultivate personal growth, and improve your relationships. In a collaborative relationship with the client, I explore family dynamics, relationship patterns, and underlying feelings and unconscious drives that impede a sense of well being. Some of the issues I treat include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, recovery, trauma (emotional, physical, sexual), suicidal ideation, grief/loss, cancer survivors, LGBTQ, and pre-marital counseling/relationship/marital issues. I help clients explore their feelings, past experiences, present situations, and hopes for the future.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create REAL long-lasting change? In today's information world, many of us know "what" we need to do, but few of us know "how" to implement and stick with it. The clients I work with are motivated to change so they can have a greater impact but have trouble executing consistently. These could be health-related habits like building a new workout routine, work-related tasks like avoiding distraction to increase productivity or catching destructive negative emotions. I'll teach you scientifically proven tactics to implement permanent change, overcome emotional barriers, and hold you accountable.
