The connection between therapist and client is the most important element of successful treatment. Using a strength based approach, I strive to connect to my clients in a meaningful way, creating a safe space for them to explore difficult emotions, thought patterns, relational tendencies, and the ongoing impact of earlier experiences. I am passionate about women's issues and provide support and clarity for those going through challenging life transitions- career changes, relationship changes, parenthood, divorce, loss.

As a psychotherapist, I see individuals, couples and families who are in pain or conflict, and who want to increase their peace of mind and quality of life. My training, experience and intuition help me "zero in" on the patterns and issues that keep people blocked. Gentle, warm yet direct, I strive to help those I am privileged to treat grieve losses, resolve traumas, improve self-esteem, strengthen relationships, reduce depression and anxiety, and develop communication, stress management and coping skills. Understanding problem areas and expanding strengths, we work in a spirit of collaboration, with mutual respect, toward meaningful change.

I work with individuals dealing with a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, identity issues, parenting and more. In psychotherapy, support, guidance and self-reflection can help to alleviate many symptoms that have been problematic for years. Although it can be difficult beginning the process of therapy, the results can be profound and can lead to meaningful discovery and transformation.

You are exhausted from the constant stress and anxiety. The anxious and negative thoughts seem to be on a constant loop in your head. It feels endless and out of your control. You are a strong, successful person but can't seem to find a way out of this. Work is no longer an escape and the stress and anxiety seem to be impacting your work performance. You are noticing physical symptoms as a result and are desperate for relief.

“Let me support you to build a greater awareness of your wisdom, and strength” As a licensed psychotherapist I can provide that support, awareness, problem-solving skills, and greater coping strategies for issues as depression, anxiety, parenting, domestic violence, and relationship difficulties. I have clinical experience working with children (play therapy), individuals, families, couples and groups. We all have an 'inner critic'. A pattern of blaming ourselves for events that were out of our control. This negative inner talk is more powerful when we fall into anxiety or depression.

Is depression or anxiety affecting your relationships or job? Do you need help developing your creative potential? Are you coping with illness? Using my experience as a UCLA family medicine psychologist and a published author/creative writing instructor, I've helped countless people navigate relationships, jobs, cope with illness, or launch their writing careers. I am uniquely equipped to help women, writers, and the chronically ill client. As a graduate of Howard University, I was trained to treat culturally diverse clients. Using a combination of CBT and Psychodynamic therapies, I treat adolescents, adults, and couples.

As a constantly busy person not tending to yourself because of a tradition of putting yourself last, it can be challenging to pause or ask for help. Something, finally, brought you to a halt and you are starting to give yourself permission to welcome support. I offer my enthusiasm to partner in your journey of identifying strengths, growing from challenges, and building on them. A multicultural background and experience working with clients of diverse narratives and identities help me to remain open to your point of view. I have an extensive history working within the arts community with children, adolescents, and adults.

No matter how hopeless you have become, I believe there is a way out. When we struggle in our relationships, we cannot be our best selves.

As your therapist, I will help you create relationships in your life that work.

When you are standing at crossroads, overwhelmed by life's decisions, or feeling sad, disappointed and hopeless, engaging in a therapeutic relationship can offer a safe and nurturing space to work through the issues that are in your way. Therapy can provide a relief and free you up to reach for your dreams. I work from the perspective of Depth Psychology, searching below the surface, looking to help you understand your unconscious drives and motivations that steer your life in an unwanted direction.

Everyone can enjoy a satisfying life of love, work and play. However, we may find ourselves in personal patterns, relationships, or with life issues that keep us from living to our fullest. Though circumstances and illness are difficult, our manner of dealing with them determines whether we are happy or sad, engaged or depressed, relaxed or anxious, and even feeling physically unwell or healthy. Trauma and poor coping are often related to our past desperate attempts to take care of ourselves in difficult situations. Through a passionate, humor-filled, authentic journey we can seek to understand and change your life.

Living with depression and/or anxiety juxtaposed with a shaky sense of self, while one's childhood trauma is unknowingly being pushed aside, can be very overwhelming. Given the emotions that humans experience as they navigate their own unique worlds, these challenges can continue to permeate every avenue of one’s existence as they enter each life stage. Addressing strained relationships with primary caregivers & learning to reparent one’s self due to childhood neglect, can serve as the vehicle through which one is equipped with the tools necessary to provide themselves compassion & a foundation to create a life they've yearned for.

For most individuals it is difficult to know where to turn when seeking help for depression, anxiety, self-harm, or interpersonal relationships. It is important to find someone who understands and above all someone to trust this change with. It is my belief that it is through this relationship and the will to find the real person underneath the hurt that we grow. By incorporating awareness of the mind, body and spirit there is little an individual cannot overcome. But this requires support and guidance.

Reaching out for help when you are in pain takes strength and courage. As a licensed therapist of many years, I work with individuals who are experiencing depression, relationship challenges, struggles with life transitions and grief and loss issues. I also work with couples who have difficulty communicating, are in a pattern of hurting each other and have lost a sense of closeness. I believe that providing a safe, warm and supportive environment and being interactive lays the foundation for a healing and transformative therapy experience.
