Therapy can be beneficial for almost anybody at one point or another. A therapist can offer support and coping skills for those dealing with challenging life transitions, share tools for managing overwhelming emotions, identify and change negative beliefs and behavioral patterns, learn to communicate more effectively, and overall make meaningful and lasting change in your life. 

When it comes to finding a therapist, Napa, CA can offer a wider range of choice than many rural areas, but finding the right therapist for you can be challenging even in more populated spaces. Psychology, like traditional medicine, has specialization. There are a number of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, and which one is most effective can depend on the challenge being addressed as well as personal preference. What you want or need may not be available at a nearby clinic. This is where online therapy can help. 

BetterHelp is an online platform that offers appointments with a range of mental health professionals from licensed psychologists to social workers who have expertise in a variety of specialties like relationship difficulties, stress management, and personal growth. Whether you’re looking for a certified Gottman therapist, or an LGBTQ+ friendly CBT practitioner, simply fill out an online questionnaire and BetterHelp will match you with the therapist that best meets your needs. And because therapeutic alliance can be key to success, if you need to change therapists you can do so at no additional cost. 

Online therapy can also be a convenient solution for many busy professionals, parents, and students. Online sessions fit easily into any schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options, you can meet with your therapist from the comfort of your own home. 

A compassionate therapist can give you the skills to cope with the stress of daily life, as well as create lasting change.

As a therapist, I empower clients through self-exploration to facilitate personal growth and lasting change. My person-centered communication style fosters a safe space for clients to discuss and work through even the most challenging topics. I strive to understand each client’s unique needs, therapy goals, and definition of a meaningful life. With that understanding, I collaborate with my clients to incorporate specific action steps to enhance day-to-day functioning and overall wellbeing. While recognizing that symptom reduction is important, I emphasize the broader goal of increased happiness and fulfillment. I have training and experience in many different evidence-based approaches including Internal Family Systems and Psychodynamic Therapy. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I particularly enjoy working with young adults, those struggling with life transitions, self-esteem and coping skills. If you are wanting to take a mindful approach to improving happiness and fulfillment in your life, I hope you will reach out, and see if I am the right therapist for you.
