Choosing change is hard. Even scary. Unless you are perfectly happy with life as it is right now, you deserve to feel better and live better. We will work together to take action and make change possible! Whether it’s a specific problem or general displeasure, we will explore root causes, process pain, and establish new patterns.

My specialty is building relationships and making clients feel safe in a space to share. I focus on 1:1 ,couples, families and groups. I am always looking to balance solution focused sessions with underlying clinical issues. Helping clients feel like they can get some relief early on in therapy is a priority. Anxiety, depression, addiction, family relation issues, life transitions and Covid are just some areas of work are that are my specialty. Whether you are comfortable free flow talking or need a more interview style, I am comfortable doing both. I also specialize in young adult and dual diagnosis.

Are you feeling frustrated, "stuck", stressed, or hopeless? This can happen at different points in our lives. There can be challenges, traumatic events, a feeling of loneliness, and hopelessness. Sometimes one needs support during significant transitions in life. Therapy can provide an opportunity to explore your feelings during these times. Finding a therapist who will listen, be supportive, and help guide you toward the path of life you want to lead is important.

I have much respect for you and your personal life challenges. My goal is to help you address issues blocking your enjoyment of life such as depression, anxiety, trauma, relational issues, bipolar disorder, and substance abuse. My role is to help you further develop your sense of choice and empowerment to improve your current situations and overall well-being. My purpose is to unconditionally support and assist you in processing your thoughts and feelings, identifying and understanding what is blocking your progress toward peace and harmony in living. I look forward to getting to join you on your journey through change and growth.

I provide psychotherapy services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. I am invested in helping clients attain a better quality of life characterized by peace of mind and the ability to manage difficult thoughts and feelings using self-compassion and a knowledge of the inner workings of the mind. My main priority is to provide clients with evidenced based, customized care tailored to their specific needs and individual differences. I am a firm believer in the fact that a paramount basis for healing within the therapy setting is the bond, trust, and alliance between client and therapist.

Do you avoid sharing your true feelings and hide who you really are? Do you cope with stress and burnout by checking out, burying your feelings or numbing yourself? Are you isolated, grieving, and disconnected? Are you confused about your purpose in life, who you are, or where you fit in the world? I am passionate about supporting young people to navigate issues of identity and transition, assisting people-pleasers and caretakers to live more authentically, and helping those who identify as highly-sensitive and neurodivergent cope with a world that isn’t designed for them.

I have had the joy of working with individuals for over 18 years who find themselves struggling with problems related to work/life balance, stress, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues as well as questions related to life’s purpose. I have had the opportunity to work with those in the creative industry in Los Angeles to those in the high demand tech community of Silicon Valley. I have seen first hand the impact of stress, loneliness, worry and depression. My goal is to support an individual in feeling better with strategies that can be implemented outside of therapy.

I have a passion for helping people transform their lives. I enjoy working with BIPOC, LGBTQIA2s+, Neuro-Divergent,2E,Hsp's & Couples. I work with people who are anxious, overthinkers,empaths, depressed, neuro diverse, adoptees, and creatives. I help people who struggle with setting boundaries, emotional regulation, relationship conflicts, and putting their needs first. I work with people going through life transitions, & are tired of being stuck and misunderstood by themselves and others. I help people understand how their behavior is connected to their thoughts, feelings, past experiences, mood & actions.

My approach to therapy involves a balance between helping a client explore past experiences and identifying how these may be affecting them in the present. I often use culturally sensitive tools in my practice while working closely with my clients and work within an anti-oppressive and anti-racist framework. I work primarily from a client-centered model and my therapeutic approach is eclectic, which means I cater to the individual needs of my clients by incorporating elements and tools from various therapeutic approaches.

Do you feel overwhelmed by relationship issues, people-pleasing, emotional responses, or planned or unexpected change? These experiences show up in many ways of life, and it looks different for everyone. Maybe you care deeply, but aren’t always in the most supportive environments, personally or professionally. You might question yourself often and might even feel like an imposter. Perhaps you are grounded, but this life transition is pulling the rug out beneath you. It’s hard to not take it personally and listen to those negative thoughts, anxiety further instills them. My couples work focuses on mothers and adult daughters.

Rarely does life provide easy answers. If you find yourself wondering about how to move forward and live a fulfilling and meaningful life, it is my aim to help facilitate that wrestling process. I believe that anyone can learn how to ask themselves good questions, to understand themselves at a deeper level, and change their behaviors to be more in line with their true values and goals. Working in multiple settings across many different states has deepened my appreciation for the diversity of experiences that make our lives beautiful and that can also leave us wounded.

Dealing with anxiety, complex relationship dynamics, or feeling stuck creatively? If you are motivated to change I am here for you. Leaping from a creative profession to my lifelong dream of being a psychotherapist, I know the courage it takes to embrace change. Whether you're a teen, a young adult, or a parent like me, I would love to help you gain clarity, lessen stress, and enrich relationships. Working together we can build real and practical skills to have the confidence to live the present and fulfilled life you deserve.
