Relationship counseling is not limited to marriage partners; resolution includes friendships or family.
I am dedicated to helping people heal in their specific area of need. My general practice targets a multiplicity of needs by treating a variety of common psychological disorders (anxiety/phobias/depression, etc.), dysfunctional relationships (poor relationship choices, sexual "hang ups"), and stubborn repetitive habits/problems (procrastination, quick temper, etc). I have a technique that gets to the root of the problem, often quickly and very effectively, and helps people manage their lives differently from that point forward.

My focus is working with teens, adolescents, and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, ADHD, electronics/gaming addiction, anger, trauma and loss. Often, teens, adolescents and adults who are suffering have difficulty communicating with others, which in-term affects relationships with parents, friends, partners, and other important individuals. Teens and adolescents are also prone to depression and anxiety at this developmental stage, causing low self-esteem, isolating themselves from friends/ family, angry/violent outbursts and significant mood swings. This may be difficult to endure alone, and that's where I come in.

Life challenges affect everyone, whether you are a stay-at-home parent, working professional, or college student. Most of us are trying to manage our relationships, family, work, and self-care. These competing demands can undoubtedly be stressful. Whether you’re choosing your next career move, navigating a breakup, or deciding to have a baby, therapy can help with any change or transition you are experiencing. My clients often come to me with busy schedules, valuing the benefits of self-exploration and depth-oriented work. They know there's room for personal growth, and they seek a seasoned psychologist ready to support them.

There are many different ways to support you, your family, or your child on the journey.
Have you tried everything but nothing seems to work? Do you tend to find yourself overreacting to the smallest things daily? Are your negative thoughts in control of your life and how to react to situations? Finding ways to manage your feelings, past experiences, and current relationships can be tricky, especially if you’re trying to do it on your own. You may not have to do it alone though; I could be there with you through this journey. Having a therapist is more than just someone to talk to, it’s someone who can sit with you in the difficult moments in a way that makes sense to you.

Crisis situations such as a divorce may cause a significant disruption of family life.
Family in crisis? Everyone in the family is impacted by the stressful environment when children refuse to follow directions and develop behaviors such as verbal aggression (disrespectful communication, degrading comments, verbally threaten others), emotional outbursts (yelling, temper tantrums), physical aggression toward self (i.e., cutting and/or burning self) or others (pushing and/or hitting others, destroying property), suicidal ideation (threat to self) and/or homicidal ideation (threat to others), and/or running away (AWOL). As a result of feelings of sadness and anger, children and parents often engage in power struggles.

TRAUMA informed therapist - Interactions with friends, co-workers and family become hijacked by frustration, anger, regret, fear, unmet needs...leading to fights, shame, guilt, depression, self loathing and destructive behaviors. Wondering why...how come I keep making the same choices which end up as mistakes in relationships with family, in love, at work, with friends...with self. The Body Heals The Score, a ground breaking book which discusses 40+ years of research, suggests meditation as an intervention to break destructive patterns, resulting in a life worth living. Happiness IS possible. YES, it is possible.

I can help you and your family get there.
I love helping teenagers and young adults with Autism/Asperger's navigate the social world around them by teaching skills to make and keep friends. I am also good at helping them deal with anxiety, depression and controlling their behaviors. I understand traditional talk therapy is not very effective for those on the spectrum so I modify the treatment by using different methods to increase understanding and learning. I believe in working with family members that care for the individual on the spectrum so I welcome you to join us in learning how to be the best form of support.

Did you know that a licensed marriage and family therapist in the state of California is only required to take one semester in graduate school on how to work with couples? This is absolutely not enough experience to offer couples meaningful change.
Want to be a power couple? I can show you how. In the past 10 years of my practice, I have seen many couples. I can’t say I’ve seen it all, but I have seen A LOT. Some fight explosively, triggered easily by a snide comment or an exaggerated exhale from their spouse. Others never fight but the distance between them is palpable minute they walk in the room and sit on opposite sides of my couch. However, one thing they all had in common is suffering due to a lack of connection and belonging. Humans are all wired for love and relationship, but unfortunately some never learn the skillsets necessary to be successful at partnership.

INTERRACIAL COUPLES…. Culturally diverse factors may exist but the underlining issues threatening your happiness are the same as any other relationship. Emotional detachment leaving you feeling isolated and disconnected when there has been a shift in focus to career, friends, children, hobbies or social activities. Your partner fails to express gratitude or appreciation for the contribution you make to the relationship leaving you agitated and bitter. Sensing a loss of sexual intimacy or struggling with physical affection. Toxic Masculinity or Femininity may have left you defenseless against verbal or physical abuse.
