At times, experiencing painful feelings, having difficulty managing stressful or unexpected situations, life transitions, and/or dealing with relationship conflicts, whether romantic or not, may hinder us from feeling happy, capable, and empowered to live our lives to the fullest. During these times, the support and the guidance of a caring professional can make a difference.

It is my experience after practicing over 24 years that it is not so much what you think that is important rather it is how you feel. We are motivated by our feelings. A thought is usually not sufficient to initiate lasting change unless it is connected to a feeling. Psychotherapy is usually sought when the individual is in crisis and feels overwhelmed. When an individual is overwhelmed it is like being overloaded with more hurt then can be lived with. The therapist is a catalyst to help the individual integrate their feelings and thoughts and to live in the present.

Our world's been shaken up in ways we've never imagined. We're understandably anxious, trying to cope. Jobs, family, illness. How do we hold it together? Are you looking for someone to talk to who can walk through this labyrinth with you? I specialize in trauma, perhaps I can help. You may be having problems with your partner, kids or parents-- most significantly with yourself. If your pain is manifesting as panic attacks or addictions, if there's grief or you're in parent/child conflicts at any age, therapy may help. I work with individuals and couples to enhance communication, creativity and a core sense of self.

Waitlist for new clients
Therapy is about exploring transitions and losses. A loss of a relationship, a job, a lifestyle, a home, a friendship, or the loss of a dream or expectation. We dismiss some losses, not realizing their impact on our day to day life. We may suffer from anxiety or depression without understanding why they are present. Other losses, however, can be so traumatic that we lose our ability to heal from them. Moreover, we find ourselves repeating the same mistakes, not being able to transform ourselves and change our behavior, even when we realize that our reactions are unhelpful and self-destructive. We wonder whether life will be better.

**No need to keep on being tortured by your anxiety or panic attacks.** If you're reading this, it's likely you've reached bottom, and you've decided it's time for a helping hand- from someone who won't judge. Life's been hard enough. You might be wondering, "Who will -actually- help? Is there even any point? I can't afford to continue in this direction. Will I feel comfortable talking to someone I've just met?" After eighteen years of providing psychotherapy, I have a reputation for being down-to-earth, and easy to talk to, but have a knack for getting to the heart of the matter quickly.

You've worked so hard to manage the effects of trauma, but sometimes life still feels overwhelming. Maybe when things go wrong you believe it’s always your fault and so you choose to keep your life small. Maybe it’s just too hard to experience any peace or joy because you’re always protecting yourself emotionally from what might go wrong. Maybe it's too difficult to authentically connect to others. Together we’ll go deeper than traditional talk therapy to tap into the wisdom of your body, the various parts of your experience, the expansiveness of your mind, and the science of neurobiology.

I have always had a curiosity for human development and how our experiences shape us into who we are today. My empathetic drive to understand and help people brought me to psychotherapy at a young age. I received my Master's in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy From Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology. I currently work predominantly with young adults, families, teens and children wanting to figure out why they feel "stuck” or how to help themselves overcome anxiety, depression, grief, familial issues, and other interpersonal challenges. I offer CBT with a solution-oriented push.
