When we are feeling depressed, anxious, frustrated or stagnant, that’s a signal that something is pinching us off from our natural wellbeing. What is that thing or things? Psychotherapy is one pathway to understanding. Through therapeutic conversation, we will explore different ideas and experiment with new thoughts & behaviors to unpinch ourselves and allow our natural wellbeing to flow. And, as we feel increased satisfaction about our life, we are open to increased satisfaction in our relationships, work and future.

Do you feel like doubt, old patterns, and worry keep you stuck? Do you tend to feel anxious, depressed, numb, or stressed out, but you put those feelings to the side because you have responsibilities? You’re used to powering through things but also SO tired of feeling the way you do. You want more tools to deal with what life has thrown at you so you can become unstuck.

As a psychologist and personal coach, I view my work as a collaborative process where I join my client in defining and moving toward his or her goals and individual journey. At the heart of a strong therapeutic alliance are real trust, non-judgment and the balance of support and challenge. My own 20-year journey in practice has enabled me to more fully understand each of these important attributes. I believe that my role isn't to have the right answers, but is about having the right questions. My work remains one of the passions in my life.

I believe we all possess what we need for wholeness, yet through a lot of self-help in the zeitgeist right now we’re asked to move the ground of our own being and follow formulas instead of trust the process & our intuition. Through our therapeutic relationship you bring your healing aptitude forward, and we establish a safe space where wounds, old stories, traumas, and any ways life has tamed you can be tended. The process of rewilding your soul and spirit and stepping into a new state of consciousness can be challenging and present with some pain and discomfort. I meet you lovingly, with an empowering & heart-centered approach.

I enjoy working with individuals who are negotiating changes, difficulties, or losses in their lives and trying to understand their experience. I believe it is up to each of us to make sense of our lives, and psychotherapy is often a valuable place to explore this in an open and non-judgmental way. It is often turning points or changing phases of life that call us to question things, confront us with important decisions, and challenge us to decide what is meaningful. Symptoms of depression and anxiety, or events such as illness, trauma and loss can call into question our beliefs, values and goals in life.

I look forward to working with any psychological issues, but especially with clients expressing a sincere, motivating desire to change their life. I work with individuals (children & adults) and couples experiencing both deeper, long-term difficulties as well as more situational, short-term problems. While I work to help patients alleviate acute symptoms, it is often possible & advantageous to resolve the underlying causes of anxiety & depression in particular. My doctoral work also focused on Organizational Development. Clients facing work-related issues usually find this added perspective and training helpful.

Hey there, feeling a little stuck? In today’s world, anxiety and depression are often fueled by the pressures of social media. We live in a culture of constant comparison, where we are bombarded with images and stories that depict seemingly perfect lives. This can lead to feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt as we measure ourselves against unrealistic standards. Many of us find ourselves caught in cycles of negative thinking, believing that we are "not enough" because we don’t live up to fabricated ideals.

Working in the field of psychology for over 25 years, I’ve gained both professional and life experience. My specialties include both couple and individual therapy. I was born and raised in Palm Springs. In the past 20+ years, I’ve also become established in San Diego from Los Angeles where I completed my schooling, training and early career. I began as a social worker with in-home foster care, expanding to mental health therapy for children and family systems. Treating individuals struggling with trauma, anxiety, and depression has developed into deeper work with couples improving communication and security in their relationships.

Basically, my approach is to get to the issue and prescribe a solution. I don't want to go to my car mechanic and have him ask me, "What do you think is wrong with your car...how would you fix it." If I knew what was wrong and how to fix it, I wouldn't have to pay a mechanic, I'd be fixing it my self. When I go therapy I ask my therapist to tell me what they see and give me some tools. After all, the goal is to get you through and out of therapy. ASSESSMENTS AND EVALUATIONS

We are not so much defined by what happens to us in life, but rather by how we respond to what happens. Intuitively we may know problems are opportunities to change and to grow, but sometimes we feel stuck, anxious and disempowered. Please know emotional pain is the only thing in life likely to jump-start a process of personal transformation. You are likely on the threshold of making that inward turn--taking yourself more seriously by addressing the pain of the past, accepting responsibility for prior choices and formulating commitments to do some things differently from here forward.
