My ideal client is someone who has already explored their own journey and done some reflection on their life and biography. They are seeking me out because I can help them with my own skills and practice to help make more sense of where they've come from so far. So, the goals would include things like continued growth or living a more satisfying life.

"I was drawn to the field of psychology by the immense possibilities that exist to effect change and to try to improve the quality of life of another. I am inspired by the resiliency of human beings and their ability to show courage despite extreme adversity. It is this that drives me and the opportunity to be an advocate for my clients is what motivates me most."

Do you find yourself or your relationship stuck in the same never ending cycles? Despite your best efforts to change things, you keep getting tripped up in the same spots. You've run out of ideas, you're tired of throwing around blame, and you seem to have lost the plot. Strategies that may have served you well in the past now seem to be getting in the way. You're craving some creativity, curiosity, a fresh perspective to honor what's gotten you this far while crafting a new path forward. I want to move through this journey with you.

What many of my clients share is a search to connect with a deeper understanding of themselves both as humans and, for some, as spiritual beings. Among them are international Angelenos and transplants, numerous creatives, healers, artists, writers and non-conventional people longing to heal, find new meaning, and re-connect with their inner wisdom and joy. I provide therapy in English, Spanish, and German.

You're welcome here. I know it can feel strange at first, but connecting with support via therapy might be just the thing to move you along in your growth and healing. It is so normal to come up against physical, emotional, and spiritual challenges in life and to sometimes feel stuck. Through intentional processing, healthy coping skills, and connection it is possible to feel lighter, to feel free, and to find the lotus in the mud. Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stressed and notice this impacting your relationships, work, or ability to feel calm? Are you hoping to be a calm and connected parent to your child?

As a licensed clinical psychologist in the state of California, I've spent much of my career working in hospital-based and outpatient settings using evidenced-based CBT and DBT approaches, relational/solution-focused approaches, and life coaching. In my practice, I offer the opportunity to help people learn to process and better understand the relationship they have with their thoughts, feelings (emotions and physiology), and behaviors. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for a broad range of adults, from younger to older, who are experiencing stress.

I understand that life can feel overwhelming at moments and that it is common to feel stuck, lost, or defeated. My priority in the therapy process is to help you feel better, change unhelpful patterns or behaviors, and to help you create new ways of navigating stress, anxiety, and relationships. To facilitate this process, I combine my professional knowledge and experience for treating anxiety, chronic worry, depression, and relationship issues, with empirically supported treatments that work, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy.

When was the last time you felt like someone genuinely heard you? Are your experiences often dismissed because someone else has it worse? Without the proper tools or support, many people learn to deal with their traumas and intergenerational/inherited self-limiting beliefs by seeking out substances and compulsive behaviors. Separated by stigma, trauma and addictive behaviors can make people feel isolated and like they are just going through the motions, living life on autopilot. But you don’t have to walk your path alone.

I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with trauma, grief, anxiety, depression and negative self-shaming behavior. I believe that our childhood experiences along with cultural and societal narratives and constructs influence how we relate to ourselves and to the world, and force us into believing stories about ourselves that may not be true. You are the agent of change, and I foster personal revolution. Healing occurs when we confront and embrace the parts of ourselves we've neglected.
