Therapists in Carmel, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I also have an additional certification for Drug & Alcohol Counseling and Life Coaching and work collaboratively with clients to help build on strengths rather than focusing on deficits.

This work will help you to overcome or more effectively deal with such problems as anxiety, depression, anger, stress, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and attention deficit disorder. We work together to identify self-defeating thought patterns or unconscious defenses that might be getting in the way of your natural capacity for satisfying relationships, or the full and authentic expression of who you are.

I have over 20 years experience providing therapy to children, adolescents, adults, families, first responders, and the veteran population. I enjoy working in the areas of trauma, parenting, blended families, and assisting people in redefining themselves and finding meaning after major life changes.

I warmly welcome you as you are, and hold a safe space to support your growth as your guide, witness, and companion. I enjoy working with clients who want more than traditional “talk” therapy. I offer experiential therapy, so you can go beyond cognitive understanding to having a transformative experience. I have an active style that is more than simply listening. I would describe the way I work as collaborative, curious, and challenging when it needs to be. I identify as a highly sensitive person (HSP) of gifted intelligence, both of which inform my work. My approach is mindfulness-based and somatic.

My goal is to help people obtain insight, new perspectives, and tools for improved wellbeing. I enjoy working with a wide variety of people and implement a range of evidence-based treatments. When I work with people in therapy, I utilize the whole person and look at biological, psychological, and social factors that may be impacting their wellbeing. When we begin working together, I discuss different approaches to therapy so that you can make an informed decision about what approach you prefer.

Seeking therapy can be overwhelming, especially so if current or past trauma is begging to be addressed. I believe that engaging in therapy is an act of love for oneself. I am awed daily by the resilience of the human spirit, and that I have the privilege to bear witness to my clients’ stories as a partner in their healing journeys. I have a background in community mental health clinics, hospice, and school-settings serving individuals affected by intergenerational, relational and sexual trauma, domestic violence, abuse, neglect, substance abuse, and involvement in the child welfare and foster care systems.

I am certified in Clinical Supervision and have been providing clinical supervision since 2017.

Hi, and welcome. Making the decision to look for a therapist can feel hopeful and vulnerable. Whether you're my new client or someone else's, I encourage you to follow the part of you that says now's the time. There are many reasons people decide to try therapy. Perhaps you're aware of a pattern of stops and starts; a feeling of being stuck. Maybe you have patterns of reactivity that get easily triggered. You may be experiencing deep grief, or trauma. There may be big changes and decisions to make. You could be overwhelmed, anxious, and/or depressed. Often there's an overarching feeling that your life is not working.

Seeking support can be daunting, but it is also the first step to finding your path through self-inquiry, growth and integration. I would like to accompany you in this unfolding process of discovery. My clinical work began in 2002 when I became a Clinical Psychologist in my country of origin. During the past 19 years, I have been serving diverse populations from a variety of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, age groups, race, socio-economic status, and distinct spiritual paths. I also offer support and guidance for adoptive families, foster families and legal guardians going through adjustments with caregiving and parenting.

​As a Licensed and Board-Certified counselor, and, more aptly, as a human Being, I understand pain in life. I also know that we humans have an amazing capacity to tolerate and be at ease in the tensions in life, no matter what arises, by un-learning the habits that get in the way. Utilizing evidenced-based practices with timeless principles of mind/body/spirit, I support individuals and couples with a warm-hearted Presence into the extraordinary process of embracing and responding to life from the Wisdom within us all.

You were born with innate potential and natural abilities, yet it may be easy to forget your personal power if you struggle with depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, or overwhelmingly stressful life situations. Allow me to help gently guide you back to a sense of empowerment and together we can work on shifting your focus toward the personal strengths that give you energy. I am active in giving support and feedback and I will compassionately challenge beliefs and actions that no longer work for you. I believe you can change the way you think about painful experiences; seeing them instead, as transformative opportunities.

Welcome and congratulations for seeking help! I love working with people who want to rise up to their highest potential yet know they have some blocks to clear out of the way. Often patterns show up in our lives and we can't figure out how to change so that we are manifesting what we want in life. Don't wait any longer, get the support you deserve!

Sometimes we feel stuck; we may struggle with feelings or behaviors that make us feel isolated, distressed, confused, or lost. Trying to figure out who we are, coping with anxiety, self-criticism, loneliness, shame, depression/despair, healing from trauma, or improving our relationship with ourselves or others- know that there really are genuine ways to heal. We need to feel safe, be seen and heard: to be validated, understood and reassured for change to happen. So together, you and I will create a safe space for you to explore and understand what’s been keeping you where you are, so you can finally get to where you want to be.

I work with adolescents and adults in individual and conjoint therapy. I facilitate healing on deep levels with each client who enters my practice, specializing in anxiety issues, which have become so prevalent and acute during and in the wake of the COVID 19 pandemic. I bring a mature, experienced perspective to my work, integrating years of my own personal work and professional training. I view each person with whom I have the privilege to work as a unique being, utilizing client-centered, humanistic, transpersonal approaches, combined with a psychodynamic lens.
