Therapists in Pacific Grove, CA
I work with individuals in both brief and longer-term psychotherapy. I practice integrative therapy that is strongly grounded in psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral and solution-focused approaches. I strive to help clients increase awareness of thoughts and feelings, gain a better understanding of how their past contributes to their development, and gain skills in coping with stress and changing behaviors. I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process in which the client and therapist work together to develop goals and treatment plans.

Welcome! I am a clinical social worker providing in person or virtual sessions in the state of Virginia, and virtual sessions for those located in Hawaii and California. I'm dedicated to providing compassionate and effective therapy for individuals struggling with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety. Focusing on Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, I offer comprehensive support to help clients manage their symptoms and reclaim their lives. Those that suffer can often find symptoms to be distressful and disturbing, leading to isolation and major impacts on their lifestyle. You are not alone and this is treatable.

We all face challenges in life, some greater than others. Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship problems, and various types of trauma. Healing the past does not mean that we get to erase our experiences, but it does mean that our past no longer gets to control our present. I consider it a privilege to help facilitate a client's journey from dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors, to healthy ways of being in the world. I believe it is important that mind, body, and spirit are all functioning as healthily as possible in order to live ones best life.

Therapy is a process, finding the right therapist is important.

We all develop a set of skills to cope and survive when we are young. This is the beauty of our adaptiveness and our innate pursuit of love, safety, and connectedness. However, for most of us, there reaches a point in life where the skills that once allowed us to survive are now preventing us from living the life we imagined. If you are feeling disconnected and discontented with yourself, your life, and/or your relationships, do not lose hope. It is possible to identify and adapt the patterns that you developed to keep yourself safe and attached.

I seek to offer a welcoming and safe space for you to explore your sense of self and the challenges you may be facing. Due to symptoms that hinder our ability to solve problems and thrive, we can become blocked from experiencing the full range of human emotion. Our sessions will increase your capacity to feel joy, playfulness and a sense of purpose in your life. My therapeutic style is collaborative, transparent and playful while using an integrative mind-body approach. I will encourage you to tap into the creativity and openness that allows you to gain new perspective and discover your own capacity to make meaningful change.

As we move through life, our experiences impact how we see ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes those experiences are empowering and positive, and sometimes they lead to disconnection, overwhelm, depression, anxiety, or a sense of inadequacy. I welcome you to explore with me how you can reconnect with your authentic self so that you can be present to meet challenges with increased confidence and ease, and feel present in moments of joy.

I look forward to connecting with you in a safe and healthy way. I believe you have everything within you to heal and will assist in exploring how trauma shaped your world through attachment or otherwise. We are all wired for connection; together we will mindfully investigate how you join your world presently in order to choose who and how you want to be. I welcome reprocessing any trauma that continues to prevent you from fully living. I enjoy working with individuals (children, tweens, teens and adults), couples and families as needed in support of individuals or couples.
