Therapists in California

Change is possible and we DO get better! I have experienced this personally and have witnessed it again and again in my 30 years as a psychotherapist. I have been privileged to accompany countless individuals, couples and families on their journey to health and wholeness. Healing the past, relating to others with greater intimacy and authenticity, communicating more effectively and creating meaning as we grow and change are just some of the possibilities positive, compassionate and effective therapy can offer. If your problems could be solved by good advice alone, you would have figured them out long ago. Problems that are difficult confound your efforts to move forward leaving you stuck. Let's have a DIFFERENT KIND OF CONVERSATION one that moves you towards clarity, changes behaviors and results in your feeling and doing better. I provide a confidential environment for you to come as you are and discover the internal resources that you already possess. I offer the patience for you to work through the difficulties that constrict you and I'll give the wisdom, empathy and support you deserve for the willingness it takes to begin this journey. *If you have questions about the benefits of psychotherapy watch this short animated clip called "Psychotherapy" on Vimeo. https://vimeo.com/134193131

Hi! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the state of California and have been working in counseling for 7 years. I have experience working with individuals, couples, adolescents and in running group therapy, both in an office and on telehealth as well as providing in-home services. I have worked with clients regarding depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, addiction, homelessness, bipolar, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, dementia and phase of life issues. I have a specialization in spiritual and depth psychology and also draw on many other modalities when working with clients. My approach is to make the treatment fit the client, since no one person is alike and no one treatment approach works for all clients. Some of my preferred modalities to use with clients include: mindfulness, narrative therapy, positive psychology, depth psychology and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) informed treatment and solution focused therapy. I aim to create a warm, safe and supportive environment in which clients can be free to explore themselves and heal. I like to think of the therapy experience as a journey we are taking together in which there is no judgement or criticism. It is my belief that we all have the internal capacity to resolve our problems and I hope therapy can provide the space in which people can discover their innate power, new meaning, and unexpected joy. I was born and raised in Southern California, originally from Santa Monica, CA. I received my undergraduate degree in studio art and art history from California State University Channel Islands and my Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University in Los Angeles, CA. In my free time, I enjoy practicing mindfulness, doing yoga, hiking, reading and doing art. I really look forward to meeting you and working together!

I'm also oriented in strength-based practices and other modalities as needed for the purposes of treatment. My goal is to assist and work with individuals to achieve their fullest potential. Seeking counseling can be fearful and overwhelming but I want to encourage you to continue the journey to seek help and regain hope and control over your life.
