You may be getting sick of trying so hard and never feeling like you are enough. Maybe you are drowning in self-doubt and criticism. When the ANXIETY of failing or being rejected becomes your main motivation, it’s time for a new way of being in the world. After working together, my clients are able to enjoy the process of growing, connecting & achieving. Clients start to feel pulled towards their goals, rather than pushed by fear.

Starting and staying in therapy can be intimidating! It doesn’t have to be that way. I enjoy using humor and just being a fellow human with my clients while we navigate the path of mental health together. Having a session with me is like talking to an old friend. I strongly believe that the connection between the therapist and yourself is the most crucial aspect of a successful therapeutic relationship. I treat adults 18 and over in our lovely state of California via telehealth (video) who are dealing with anxiety, boundary issues and difficult relationship and family dynamics along with career strategizing and coaching.

No one would believe you struggle with anxiety or self-esteem because your life looks great from the outside. You're successful, it appears you have it all. So why are you not happy? You may have had thoughts that you don't need therapy, that's for people who look like they're struggling and maybe you should just suck it up and be 'grateful'. I work with high-achieving women to overcome anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and more. You're not doing it wrong and the answer is not that you need to just do more or try harder. Mental health is complex and no one is immune to struggling with their mental health.

Sharing our inner experiences with someone can often feel frightening, which is exactly why I place such an importance on connection and acceptance in the therapeutic process. I aim to create a safe environment that will invite my clients to delve deeper into their personal narrative, as I truly believe we are not built to process emotions alone. As humans, we all have a propensity to grow and become our true selves, unfortunately we aren’t always gifted with the circumstances to allow it. I am passionate about creating a space for not only self-discovery and self acceptance, but to allow clients to feel seen, heard, and valued.
