Navigating the complexities of relationships and marriage can be challenging, often leaving couples feeling disconnected and misunderstood. As a therapist with a rich background in working across the lifespan—from infants to adults—I bring a deep sense of empathy and curiosity to understand your unique challenges. My goal is to help you and your partner explore and express your feelings and emotions, uncovering the root of disconnection and conflict, and fostering a deeper, more meaningful connection.

You’ve reached a point where you need more support. Maybe you’re feeling alone, questioning parts of your identity, or wanting a safe place to process something that’s been gnawing at you. In therapy, we can identify these issues and start better understanding yourself, and gain more direction and confidence. You and your partner may feel misunderstood by each other, want to communicate better, and want more space for each person’s feelings and needs. You might want more, but are not sure yet, or want something different. We can work to establish better communication and appreciation between you and your partner.

Therapy is a place to feel understood and safe. My approach to therapy is collaborative, warm, and strength-based. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My areas of interest include anxiety, depression, disruptive behaviors, transitions and adjustment, grief, parenting, and family communication.

Life is hard! My goal is to work together with you to help you get unstuck from painful thoughts or relational patterns that are no longer helpful. I believe therapy is a collaborative process between two people where together we explore problems, new understandings, and adaptive coping skills for a more fulfilled and authentic life. I work from a Strength-based and Psychodynamic approach to all mental health concerns in adults. I focus especially on anxiety, depression, stress, grief, and family conflict.

As a clinical psychologist who treats chronic pain, anxiety disorders, and OCD, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate the complexities of these conditions.

Navigating the ups and downs of relationships can often make life feel like an uphill battle. We encounter challenges not just in our connections but also within our minds, wrestling with issues like depression, anxiety, or trauma.

I aim to assist in managing and overcoming the hurdles within your relationships. I hold a firm belief in the capacity of each individual to achieve happiness and fulfillment, and I’m dedicated to guiding you toward realizing that potential.

I frequently accept new patients for telehealth psychotherapy, adults residing in California.

As he trekked through the California wilderness, John Muir said, “Going out is really going in.” Psychotherapy is a similar adventure, but one where going in is really going out. The internal journey of self-awareness leads to external change and healing. My hope is that each person experiences the thrill of growth and exploration of their mind. My training in psychodynamic, attachment, and trauma informed techniques has offered me the “gear” required to guide a summit into the psychic mountains, with the pace and route we determine together.
