Interpersonal relationships are powerful contributors to our overall health. Our intimate partner relationships, family relationships, work or peer relationships tend to affect us in meaningful ways. When our relational lives are strong and connected we feel satisfied, empowered, hopeful, and more confident. When our relational lives are hurting, we feel anxious, sad, pained, frustrated, and left not knowing what to do to improve it. I work with my clients to address the heart of their stressors working toward tangible results with lasting effects. I work collaboratively & passionately to create a safe, responsive, and supportive environment to address your needs.

Are you tired of things being so tough with your kids? You can see that your child or teen is struggling, but you're not sure what to do to help. They may be having difficulties at school or with friends. Or it may be that things feel out of control at home. You try so hard to help things get better, but it feels like things are just stuck. Maybe you've noticed that your reactions are way bigger than you want them to be. Something happens to trigger you and you lose your temper, and then you feel so guilty. Or it seems overwhelming because you listen to so many parenting professionals, but still don't have a clear path forward.

Through insight, behavioral changes, and emotional awareness we will explore your issues. I've been working with individuals and couples for well over 30 years.

As a therapist, I aim to hold a safe space that feels both supportive and at times challenging, but always tailored to your personal needs and expressed goals. I like to think of my role as a passenger and navigator, presenting different paths that you may consider, but ultimately you are the one in the driver’s seat. I empower my clients by helping them to champion self-advocacy, assist them in reframing issues into challenges they can overcome, and explore the roots of these challenges so they may be better informed and equipped to tackle current and future adversaries.

Most everything we value flows from the relationship we have with ourselves. Discover all that transforms when you live in a way that reflects compassion toward yourself, and a deeper connection with your emotions, truth and dreams. I am a warm, genuinely caring and intuitive therapist. People I see often say that they feel safe and at ease with me, and deeply understood. Prior to a private practice, I provided therapy at the Departments of Psychiatry at UCSD and Rady Children's Hospital, and at Scripps, and trained other therapists. I use a blend of approaches to therapy and healing, and can offer tools tailored to your needs.

As a psychoanalyst I believe that an individual's feelings and behaviors are motivated by a variety of unconscious factors often resulting in people feeling stuck. Psychoanalysis helps individuals finally break these habits by understanding their root causes and enable significant changes at the very core of one's emotional responses. Using these experiences, the analyst helps the patient work on a deeply unconscious level to eliminate unproductive and destructive patterns. This opens the patient to new, fresh and genuine experiences and solutions in their lives. This process is achievable through empathy and respect.
