My approach to therapy is direct and I like to jump right in. Sessions can be emotionally draining, but they can also be extremely rewarding. You will begin to experience things differently and see the possibilities before you that you may never have before considered. Therapy can be the greatest gift you ever give to yourself--and to those with whom you have a relationship. Learning to understand why you think, behave, interact, and love the way you do is transformative. This insight and knowledge gives you the power to direct your own life, make your own choices, and do so with confidence. Perhaps it is time to work with a professional. If you think you might like working with me or if you'd like to visit to see if we would be a good fit, please reach out. Thanks, and I hope to speak with you soon.

I am licensed in multiple states including California with many years of professional work experience as a therapist.

Helping my clients elevate out of depression, enduring grief and resolving loss are among the most common services I provide.

Starting the therapy process, switching therapists, or returning to therapy after a period of time can be challenging. To be vulnerable is to be courageous and to do this often requires help. My skills are designed to help my clients achieve a sense of strength and to have a more consistent state of peace and joy. I do this with a variety of methods. I tailor my model of therapy based on the clients’ needs and individual goals, allowing authentic growth and sustaining mental health. Often simply identifying goals can create immediate shifts in how we think, in turn changing the way we feel. Whether the therapy is brief and efficient to push toward immediate mobility, or the therapy is instead a more long-term plan, depends on my clients’ needs and desires. I am available to help you with your future and therapy process.
