Life is often difficult and challenging in the best of times. When you face anxiety, stress, depression, and feelings of inadequacy, the pain can be overwhelming. Life changes, relationship issues, family stress, and career challenges can activate deep feelings of confusion, failure, and unloveableness. If life has become too difficult to manage on your own, and you need assistance and support to sort things out, make necessary changes, and discover your innate talents and value, I can help. I have been working with people to confront and grow from the pain in their lives for 42 years. I earned my Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology – Berkeley and am a licensed psychologist in Texas and California. During my career I have worked in community mental health, private practice, inpatient facilities, business corporations, and nursing homes. The settings change and the content of people’s problems vary, but the underlying conflicts that cause psychological and emotional pain do not. Everyone wants to be heard, their issues understood, and to feel valuable and loved. I use a therapeutic approach that integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychodynamic principles, and positive emotional support to create a safe space to explore and heal the childhood wounds that make you feel alone and misunderstood by friends, family, spouses, significant others, and the world. Together we will challenge negative self-talk, destructive behaviors, and repetitive patterns that end poorly, cause pain, and reinforce feelings of self-doubt and worthlessness. We will discover new and constructive ways for you to re-frame ingrained beliefs, change painful and self-negating thoughts, and free you from old dysfunctional decisions made long ago that are still impacting your daily life. Therapy is a journey. Sometimes we need a tune-up and sometimes an overhaul. Either way, our work together will help you to discover new strengths and skills you never knew you had, develop constructive and healthy ways to face life’s challenges, and free you to move forward in life with freedom and joy.

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyAddictionsTrauma and abuseSelf esteemDepression
12 years offering treatment
I am licensed in California, Alabama, and Texas with 12 years of professional work experience, particularly working with clients with histories of trauma, substance abuse issues and codependency, stress and anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, religious beliefs, races, cultures, or personal identities. My extensive experience traveling both within the US and abroad has helped me to develop a deep appreciation for the differences and similarities amongst individuals and groups in general. That said, I have a variety of experience with a range of clientele, but all shared a desire for connection with others. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I tend to work from a psychodynamic perspective . I have found success using the relationship between client and therapist to create awareness, make observations, and allow a safe space for growth and change. Given I have worked with clients with extensive histories of trauma, I do believe it is important to understand the impact of primary or prior experiences on current relationships with self and others, but you determine the pace at which we work. It is never the goal to relive trauma or pressure you to disclose something you are not ready to share. I truly believe each client will share what is relevant for their healing in their own time. It is my job to hold that space and work with you to build connections and remove barriers to your own happiness and satisfaction in life. Despite my tendency to work from a psychodynamic perspective, I may use other tools or therapeutic perspectives if it is helpful for you, the client. Flexibility and empathic attunement are essential components of a successful therapeutic relationship. In regards to my specific experience, I have facilitated groups for the CA Lawyers Bar Association in both Los Angeles and the Bay Area to help members address issues of depression, anxiety, or substance use that were interfering with their work or ability to obtain/maintain licensure. Creating a safe space to allow for others to share insights, build awareness, and share feelings was imperative to that therapeutic process. I have worked with clients in a private practice setting, primarily working with clients struggling with Anxiety, Depression, or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I learned clients may come to therapy for a specific issue or goal that would often change during the course of therapy. That is ok! I cannot stress enough how important it is in my practice to work at the client's pace. While it is not my goal to tell you what to do, I may, make observations, inquire about, or make connections to other information shared in our sessions to help you determine what is best for you. Finally, I worked with the Juvenile Justice system for more than 12 years working with youth and their families in a variety of roles. I collaborated with the Court system, non-profit agencies, and worked directly with youth in group settings. Establishing rapport and building a foundation of trust and respect was key for discussing barriers to success and identifying ways each person could achieve the goals set forth. Anyone who has worked with teens knows ruptures in the relationship may occur. If that happens, whether it is with an adult or teen, it is important for me as a therapist to allow space in session to validate that experience and repair the relationship. Ruptures in a relationship can actually lead to some of the greatest moments of healing and growth, if handled appropriately. A person's perspective is their reality and I want to understand each client's perspective in a non-judgmental and compassionate way. Overall, I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. If you experience something in session that you did not like, I encourage feedback and honesty so we can work together to address that. The therapeutic relationship can be the foundation for healing and growth, but only if it is a safe space. Therapy can stir up difficult feelings both in and out of session. As your therapist, I want the space in session to feel safe enough to share those experiences, even when it can be difficult or painful. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes incredible courage. I am here to support you in that process. It is an honor to work with each client and join you on your journey of healing and growth!

- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
