Parenting is the most important but toughest job on the planet. But parenting is really hard when your child is struggling. It's so painful to see how fear, anger, sadness can take hold of your child. Big emotions turn a simple activity or transition into an overwhelming event. You walk on eggshells to prevent a blow up. Coaxing your child to participate in life is exhausting. You’ve talked gently with your child, encouraged them, tried consequences and rewards. But it’s difficult for your child to verbalize their feelings or they push you away. You feel stuck. You worry how this behavior will impact their future.

I work with a variety of people facing a variety of challenges, but many of my clients face addictions and other compulsive behavior patterns (either in themselves or a loved one), relationship problems, or some kind of trauma.
Suffering with emotional pain can leave us feeling disoriented and miserable in the present, and discouraged and afraid about the future. Yet we all have an innate impulse to survive, heal, and recover. You're heeding that impulse right now—all we need to begin your journey of healing is for you to keep heeding it. We'll discover the rest together, one step at a time. Imagine getting to know new parts of yourself and giving them the attention they’ve been yearning for. Hopping out of bed in the morning feeling whole, healthy, and positive. Meeting life’s difficulties with skill and finesse instead of brute force.

I utilize a combination of play, talk, and behavior therapy with children, adolescents, and families.
Seeking support requires plenty of courage, strength, and determination. Taking the first steps toward change can feel both invigorating and nerve-racking at the same time. I aim to create a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to share your life experiences. One of our most fundamental human needs is to form connections, and I strive to utilize our therapeutic relationship as a guide for growth and healing. As a partner in your personal journey, I hope to empower you to gain the valuable insight and practical skills essential for overcoming obstacles, achieving your goals, and living a well-balanced, self-fulfilled life.

I help people with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship issues, compulsive behavior, grief/loss, and trauma.
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, and, at times, impossible. You may know your problems but can’t seem to overcome them. Whether existential issues or life’s minutiae weigh you down, trauma has left you feeling cut off from yourself and others, or your creativity feels stunted by your past, I understand how isolating these challenges can be. You don't have to navigate them alone. I work especially well with academics, students, writers, and artists but help people from all walks of life.

Often, we seek therapy when we feel overwhelmed—by anxiety, depression, a life transition or a difficult relationship. Having studied and treated maladaptive thoughts and behaviors, I work to create a confidential space where you can regain your balance, gain insight, and ultimately become more confident and secure. I utilize a thoughtful mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness practices, solution-focused techniques, and EMDR Therapy (specialized trauma therapy) to pave way for your healing.

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents and adults with a wide range of behavioral issues and substance related struggles.
Personal and professional experience has led me to believe that there is nothing more healing for one's soul than intimate connection with others. If I can provide you with a safe space to openly and honestly share your story, then our work has more than just begun. I look to offer a sense of transparency, an authenticity in nature that invites you to feel comfort in my presence. There is great challenge and risk in this process, as well as great opportunity for growth and change-it would be a privilege to be a part of your journey.

I work closely with children, families, and parents to help overcome behavioral challenges, address family structure difficulties, and support children with mental health issues. My work also involves providing care to adults dealing with OCD and anxiety-related disorders. Additionally, I conduct psychological assessments for students to better understand their needs and provide tailored recommendations for their development and success.

Primary to the healing process is establishing the natural free flow of feeling and thinking, and supporting healthy expression and behavior.
I'm a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples and families in the LA area and Sandpoint, Idaho. 25 years experience in one location and challenge the problems facing our complex and diverse society today. I believe in the Unity of Life. From the earliest single cell forms of life, to the complex human organism, there is a basic energetic function that unites: Pain & Pleasure, Thinking & Emotion, Mind & Body, Man & Women, Family & Society. When this unitary function is disrupted and blocked, healthy life suffers. Conflict and stress from this unitary disruption often results in irrationality, unhappiness and/or disease.
