Overall enhancing of self-worth and self-acceptance is a core theme for my clients. Common issues I work with are depression, anxiety, eating disorders and disordered eating, PTSD/trauma, obsessive-compulsive, mild dissociation, self-harm, perfectionism, life transitions, relationship issues, and codependency.

I provide tele therapy for individuals, and couples for CA residents. I do not have a physical office in CA. I also offer treatment for trauma.
In today's world we are all finding that after working full time there isn't enough time to eat right, exercise, take care of errands, help the children with homework, and spend quality time with your significant relationships. What we end up with is exhaustion, feeling "burned out", anxious, and maybe even depressed. You are not alone.
Don't suffer any longer. It's time to address your issues and get your life back.

Sometimes people see counseling/coaching as a process that could be negative: trying to decipher & share feelings, opening up old wounds, resistance to change. It’s uncomfortable and uncertain to delve deep into these areas of our life. We all want to live “our best lives”. We strive to be financially secure, take care of our physical health through diet & exercise, see the benefit of being social and doing fun things, attempt to engage in meaningful relationships, seek spirituality and a sense of transcendence. But we fail in many of these pursuits when we don't understand our own inner-workings.
