"Unleash your potential and take strides in creating the life you deserve and desire." Therapy reflects growth. It starts with courage and a desire for change. Seeking help from a psychologist starts with a decision to move beyond barriers and the confines of the past. It's about the desire to move forward and grow in order to reach your goals and fullest potential. I will help you develop solutions, new understandings, self-acceptance, ways of thinking and strategies that open you to deeper change and a more fulfilling life. ***I only provide telehealth sessions, which I find to be very effective.

Together we will confirm your strengths and explore paths to sustainable change. Helping people with high emotional sensitivity to develop improved self-perception and more effective coping skills by building on the person they are and not trying to reinvent them is essential. We will begin by focusing on difficult issues in the present and then gain an understanding of past history. I use a range of therapy techniques that best fit each individual. Maturity, humor and a straightforward style enlivens the dialogue in our counseling sessions.

Life is hard. Therapy can help. I work exclusively over the phone and provide no-cost, telemental health counseling and psychotherapy to people on Medicare. Whether you need help navigating a short term crisis, or you want to take a deep dive into existential questions about the meaning of life, teletherapy can help. While video therapy can be stressful and distracting at times, conversations over the phone are usually more grounded and internally focused.

For as long as you can remember, you’ve had to hide your true feelings. Even as a child, you realized you were different, so to avoid problems, you started to pretend. Now, as an LGBTQ+ identifying adult, you’ve gained a far better understanding of who you are. You’re a rockstar at work, well-respected and accomplished in your field. You have a lovely home and a steady support network. To the outside world, you have it all together, but deep inside remains ignored feelings and insecurity. You want desperately to embrace the real you, but don't know how to begin.

I've been working in the field of psychology for over 25 years. My specialties include both couple and individual therapy. In the past 20+ years, I have became established in San Diego from Los Angeles where I completed my schooling, training and early career. Starting out as a foster care social worker, I then expanded into mental health therapy for children and their family systems. The experience of treating individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression has evolved into helping couples heal from past wounds, improve communication, and create secure functioning in their relationships.
