Has trauma, anxiety, or depression interfered with the potential to become the best version of yourself? We often feel defined by traumatic or emotionally difficult experiences then often leave us feeling stuck in place rather than moving forward towards our goals. I’m here to provide a safe, affirming space for you to develop an understanding of yourself to overcome past experiences or fears that define you. Our work together will be met with unconditional acceptance, creative approaches, and the utmost compassion.

I specialize in working with infants, children and their families. I believe the process of psychotherapy is a shared experience between a therapist and a client. In our work, we together will create a space where we can reflect on your and your child’s feelings, thoughts and behaviours. I use play therapy and welcome parents into the world of their child.

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

I aim to help individuals heal from trauma-related issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues. If you find yourself living without a navigation system to understand emotional terrain or trauma that impacts your well-being; you are not alone. All of us go through rough patches in our lives. My approach is specific to meet your unique needs in a safe and non-judgemental space.

Do you ever feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, depression, trauma, or disconnection from yourself and others? Are you wanting relief and a deeper understanding of your emotions and relationships? Do unresolved wounds, internal conflicts, life stressors, or self-destructive habits often undermine your ability to be authentic, identify your inner strength, and effectively speak up? If any of these apply, it may be time to invest in yourself and take a step toward a more empowered, balanced, and self-compassionate life.

I am glad that you are here. You may feel depressed and anxious, or you get lost a direction in your life. You may struggle with communicating with family, friends, or coworkers. Your feelings seem out of control or overwhelmed. For any reason, seeking help is the hardest, yet most important first step, and you just did it! Your feelings, thoughts, and experiences need to be expressed, accepted, and understood in a trusting and safe relationship.

Welcome to my practice. I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial recklessness, gambling, drugs/alcohol, dishonesty/lying, and relational conflicts. My therapy approach is a combination of psychoanalytic, cognitive-behavioral, and the 12-Step recovery model. I also share insight from my own painful but redemptive recovery journey.

Are you experiencing relationship issues with your partner or family members? I’m passionate about helping people have healthier relationships within themselves and with others.

Hi, I'm so glad you are here! I believe that stories have immense power to influence the way we see ourselves, others, and the world. Sometimes the stories we carry with us are uplifting and hopeful. However, far too often the stories we hear in our families and culture relay a message that there is something wrong with us, that we are broken, flawed, or unworthy. I also believe that we each have a Self that is unflawed and enduring, and often what we need most is to reconnect to our Selves through healing practices, deep conversation, and re-authoring our stories in a way that is more authentic to who we are.

Personal freedom and well-being is possible Now. I address the systems of body, heart, and mind, using them as vehicles to gain greater insight, self-awareness, and freedom. The body system entails the physicality of life. The heart system encompasses the spacious awareness of love, compassion, and joy. The mind system holds the mind-states of emotion, thoughts, and patterned beliefs that either turn us away from Light or towards suffering - and when there is alignment and integration through all these systems healing occurs. Learn how to create the life you want & be able to enjoy it too!

I am a licensed therapist with 10 years of experience treating individuals with post traumatic, depressive, and anxiety disorders. My approach is evidence-based, as I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a highly effective therapy for treating persons struggling with intrusive memories and triggers of painful events in their past, as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and uses skills-building and behavioral tools for anyone wanting to improve their frustration tolerance, emotional regulation, and social interactions.
