Are you finding it difficult to navigate these uncertain times or feel that you’ve lost your way? Are you on your path, but progress is thwarted by circumstances not of your own making or beyond your control? Sometimes muddling through is the best any of us can do or expect of ourselves. Perhaps the uncertainty we are all facing is a blessing in disguise, because with uncertainty comes opportunity. If you’d like to explore what opportunities you have to find your footing or get things moving, sharing your story is the first step. With over 25 years experience practicing psychotherapy and having gone where I didn’t know I was going, I understand life’s challenges and the possibility for a more creative and meaningful life by venturing into unknown territory. My belief is that you know what you need to do to improve your life and with coaching and questioning you are capable of finding the best solutions. I have my BA in Humanities, MA in Marriage Family Therapy, PhD in Psychology, and am licensed in California as a Marriage Family Therapist. I have had extensive experience with teletherapy, having worked with David Viscott, MD, one of the first psychotherapists to have a nationally syndicated talk radio show, who had clients from all over the country call into the Viscott Center for Natural Therapy where our approach was brief solution oriented therapy. I also had extended, in-depth psychotherapy as part of my training and beyond because of my interest in exploring the self. I’m familiar and comfortable with both short and longer term therapy. I’ve worked with couples, families, and individuals ranging from teenage years to older adults at the end of their lives. I understand taking the first step can be difficult. I also know you can start before you’re ready! I’m here to listen, encourage, support, and collaborate with you until the correct path becomes clear.

Life is full of challenges that can often leave you powerless, overwhelmed, and stuck. Living during a pandemic has greatly caused increased anxiety, and stress is at an all time high. If you or your family members are suffering, struggling to connect, experiencing trouble in finding stability or progress in your life, the process of therapy can help support your growth and self-esteem through these challenging times. I currently work in a school setting and work with elementary students, teens, adults and families. I work with individuals and families who experience anxiety, stress, difficult transitions, trauma or loss, friendship struggles, career changes, eating disorders, and relational stress - going through a separation or divorce. I feel it is important to encourage, inspire, and support individuals and families through person centered and collaborative therapy so that individuals can be the best version of themselves. I want to empower you so that you may be healthy, happy, and at peace at this point in your life. Life can be hard, but I believe you are capable of doing hard things.
