I have been in clinical practice for over 30 years and I am trained in psychodynamic as well as family systems therapy. My focus has been on primary relationships as a means of understanding current functioning. Each person comes with their own story to be understood in time. The addition to my work has been mindfulness meditation which helps us to be in the present moment in our lives without judgement. In therapy it can address the underlying causes of suffering while at the same time, help depression, anxiety. pain, stress and trauma. I am privileged to facilitate your journey of healing.

I combine several approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), and sevearal Somatic Therapies.
Here's what I want you to know: You were born ready and able to be happy, and have a satisfying life--that's natures way. And, yet, at any point in life there can be many 'causes & reasons' for life turning in a different direction; and there can be many kinds of 'symptoms & behaviors’ that emerge when things go sideways; and when this occurs, we all can use some support to get back on track. For right now, just know that reaching for support is itself a sign of strength, and is also built into our human nature.

Everyone's needs are unique, and I use a variety of evidence-based modalities. I provide a safe space for people to explore their deepest vulnerabilities with me. I am an empathetic listener, sensitive, compassionate, and I value the power of humor.

My approach to therapy is relational and authentic. Research suggests ‘successful’ therapy is less about modality than the therapeutic alliance: I offer proven techniques from psychodynamic, CBT, and somatic therapies to help you cultivate what we all want--good feelings that last. If your history includes neglect/abuse or other forms of trauma, you may learn ways to calm your nervous system, tolerate difficult feeling states, and thrive at work and in healthy relationships.

Currently I am offering virtual services throughout the states of California and Missouri.

The disease of "not good enough" infiltrates all aspects of our experience, robbing us of the joyful lives we deserve. We reject parts of ourselves we don’t like in an attempt to change but that usually does not work because self-acceptance, not rejection, is the key to growth and fulfillment. Only by accepting who we are today, can we become the person we want to be tomorrow. I am a licensed psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and the queer community. I specialize in depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, harmful relationship patterns, and childhood relational trauma.

In my family practice, I often work with children, teens and parents following a meaningful loss, through the challenges of a life transition or a period of anxiety and stress. Many of my clients are processing grief and loss, which comes in may forms.

New beginnings can often be disguised as painful endings. I work closely with those who have been through tragic events, suffered childhood abuse, those who have been victimized by others, as well as those who might feel like they have nowhere left to turn. My goal is to help you find your inner strength, and to courageously be free to display it and be proud. I am empathetic to my client’s needs, ambitious to provide support, and offer a nonjudgmental space for you to share and truly be heard.

I offer a trauma informed, holistic approach to the therapeutic relationship, drawing upon various influences including attachment theory, depth psychology, CBT, DBT, psychoanalytic, and Internal Family Systems.
Trauma can impact your ability to trust yourself, relationships, individuals, and your general ability to function. Whether you're having panic attacks, or struggling with trusting your intuition, we can develop resources to nourish you, identify triggers, and get you to a place of LIVING. I have experience and enjoy working with diverse cultural backgrounds, gender identities, from adolescents to seniors, whether in crisis, or looking to better self regulate on a consistent basis.

As your needs and goals will determine how we work together, my approach is informed by several theories including: attachment, psychodynamic, family systems, and interpersonal neurobiology.
Do the strategies that once helped you navigate challenges or survive traumatic experiences now generate more psychological pain than they alleviate? Perhaps the pandemic took its toll on you. Whatever is prompting your search, finding a good therapist is hard. I believe therapy helps us develop a more resilient and flexible way to be with ourselves, the people we care about, and what we pursue in our lives. I work with individuals, couples, and families to address a wide variety of challenges. I also facilitate group therapy. Please see the description of my groups below.

Family Systems Therapists
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
