Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Unable to manage the stress of life? Are you challenged by compulsive or addictive behaviors that you cannot seem to stop? Struggling in relationships with others or experiencing shame? Many of us need to reach out for assistance in order to figure out how to better manage stress and enjoy life, rather then feel burdened by it. This is not weakness or lack of self-will. Rather it is a fact of our existence as human beings. We often need help from one another to accomplish certain tasks we cannot do alone.

Hi, thank you for visiting. After 20 years as a therapist, I have found that people need a combination of support, insight, and challenging interactions to help them move past obstacles they are facing. I work with individuals on the most intimate aspects of their lives, including their sexuality, relationships, and life and death issues. My style is interactive and relational, and employs uncovering family of origin dynamics, but also more practical, EMDR and Brainspotting methods to help make changes more quickly. My specialty is in all aspects of loss and grief, addictions, eating disorders, relationships, trauma and cancer.

I have specialized in relational trauma for years and I believe in the power of connection. I am dedicated to helping my clients feel confident in relationships with people who make them feel safe. I decided to become a therapist after the Columbine shooting occured. I was deeply saddened by that act of violence among students and left my job in advertising 20 years ago to complete my master’s degree in psychology. Something about me that is unique is that I have close friendships for 35 years and I continuously seek and value new friendships and connection.

"Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards."- Kierkegaard. Are you feeling stuck and unable to move forward from unhealthy behaviors, maladaptive patterns, negative thoughts and feelings, anxiety or stress? Do you wish your life was more fulfilling, better or different than it is but struggle to make a change? I understand how scary and challenging it can be to take that first step. However, I also believe that achieving an adequate, satisfying, and productive life with the right support is possible. Together we can explore the underlying reasons that are holding you back and identify new ways of coping.

The buddhist philosophy "turn poison into medicine" has always resonated with me. My favorite part of my work is witnessing a client's transformation, seeing them take painful experiences that they have lived through and honor their strength and resilience. I wholeheartedly believe when someone is suffering, they are disconnected from their core selves. There is something that is preventing them from feeling the safety or freedom to be authentic. It is my goal as a therapist to help clients discover what the barrier to that connection is. The disconnect from self can show up as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts.

I am a psychodynamically-oriented therapist, which means I work to help you understand your history so we can discover how it is influencing the ways in which you currently operate in the world. Those experiences can lead to defense mechanisms that can make it more challenging to fully connect to feelings and emotions. As your therapist, our relationship in the room is integral to the work. It is while navigating those feelings where self-discovery, bringing the unconscious to the surface, and corrective emotional experiences, help you diminish your symptoms, find clarity, and become a fully-realized, authentic human being.

Your throat feels restricted, your chest is heavy, and it hurts to breathe. Trauma has found a home in your body and it is time to evict it. Maybe you drank or used again. Maybe you stopped taking your medication, telling yourself it will be different this time. Maybe you are just tired of being tired. Either way, you are ready to dive in and "do the work."

I am an LMFT with 15 years of experience working with teenagers & adults in individual therapy and couples' therapy. In addition to my private practice experience, I am a Mental Health Clinical Supervisor for the County of Los Angeles Department of Mental Health which has provided me a wealth of clinical experience and training.

Many of us go through life doing our best to appear that we have it together and that we’re doing what we “should” do, but inside we may be hiding painful feelings, self-doubt, anxiety, indecision, overwhelm, and stress. To move forward, we must heal from our past, connect to ourselves in the present, and nurture our strengths to build confidence to know that we can handle whatever challenges the future may bring.
