Yes, I am accepting new clients and available for TELEHEALTH! Have you lost your passion and creativity? Do you feel stuck in your job or career path? Are you highly sensitive, feel overwhelmed or burned-out? Are your relationships suffering? I can help you transform your pain into feeling empowered, and use your gifts to fuel your relationships. I help you revive, focus, and succeed to bring your life and relationships to the highest potential. I bring 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, specializing in treating couples, anxiety, PTSD, relationships/break-ups, life-purpose, creativity, grief/loss, and self-esteem building.

I have over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations who have a variety of presenting problems. While I am versed in numerous evidence based modalities, I most frequently utilize Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I value ACT’s emphasis on helping clients learn concrete skills for managing distressing thoughts and feelings, including its mindfulness component. Additionally, the importance of the therapeutic relationship is not to be underestimated. I am often described by my clients as someone who is easy to open up to, warm, a good listener, supportive, and someone with a good sense of humor.

You deserve to feel better. I am here to help. I will listen to you and we will work together to sort through the challenges and questions you may have. My background is in addiction counseling and I like to look at the ‘whole’ person. I understand the pressures individuals and families face, especially during these times. As a Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with adults and teens. Therapy is unique for each individual. I am well versed in a variety of therapeutic approaches such as looking at how our thoughts and feelings impact our behaviors. I love working with my ADHD clients and their non-ADHD spouses.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist. I am currently licensed in CA, FL, MT, VT, LA, and NJ. I have over 18 years of experience in providing services to children, adults, and families.

Take the Path of Enlightenment. Are you ready to stop setting yourself on fire to keep others warm? If you’ve been trying to balance time, money, and relationships, but it feels like you’re sinking in a never-ending pit of anxiety, sadness, disconnection, and fatigue, take the path of enlightenment that has transformed lives for thousands of years. It’s not just about the daily grind – it’s a deeper misalignment with your truest self and the world around you. The masks we wear to fit into the world are suffocating us, and our resistance to life’s natural flow is at the root of our suffering.

At Bridges Therapy Group of California, we’re dedicated to matching you with the perfect therapist for you and ensuring that your insurance will truly pay for your sessions. We are contracted, in-network providers with all the insurers listed below. We verify your benefits before you start so there are no surprises to you.

In our busy lives, we often find ourselves saying, "that's good enough" or "I guess that'll do." These phrases can signify a pattern of merely getting by and settling for less. I believe that you deserve more than just "good enough" in your career, passions, relationships, and overall life. It's time to break free from going through the motions and start aiming higher. You don't have to settle for fine.

I'm continuously astounded by the human being's capacity to hate and to love, to hurt and to heal. We are miraculous and complex creatures and my aim is to create a space for honoring that. I'm a licensed clinician, providing EMDR, individual, couple, and family therapy. I have specialized in eating disorders and co-morbid conditions (depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD), and previously worked as a DIR/Floortime Therapist for children and teens with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Additionally, I have a deep passion for exploring issues related to identity, transition, gender, sexuality, and, really, the daily human experience.

Thank you for your patience as we work through this COVID-19 crisis. We would like to remind you to focus on your and your family's physiological, safety, and emotional needs.
