Therapists in California
I have complete acceptance and compassion for all our human struggles and suffering-- PTSD, anxiety, parenting, adolescence, divorce, loss, grief, and the many varieties of identity.
Ease, change, and joy are accessible. I know you can emerge from distress. I have seen radical growth-- again and again. I have found that these positive effects from any therapeutic intervention is highly accelerated by Ketamine treatment. So, instead of treating individuals for years with proven interventions, as is the standard in therapy, I now only use these healing interventions with clients at the Trauma Ketamine Clinic at Restoration Psychiatry, which I find significantly maximizes recovery, and minimizes duration of therapy, I pair Ketamine with Brainspottting, EMDR, and IFS for long-lasting healing.

I’ve helped many creatives, performers & athletes work through trauma, anxiety, depression, creative blocks, and performance anxiety, to a deeper sense of connection to creativity & to be more successful in their lives.
You are a current or former dancer, gymnast or athlete. You have undergone intense training and competition. Now, you feel stuck. You feel high demands, yet you are afraid of your power. You want to be successful. You notice that you fear failure. You may even fear success. Performance anxiety and overwhelm have gotten the best of you lately. Bullying/distrust with peers or coaches may be something you feel bogged down by. Because you’re a high achiever, you need extra love and support and wish to feel confident. However, relationships both in and outside of your craft feel unsubstantial.

I help stressed-out, underperforming, or 'just plain exhausted' athletes bounce back from performance slumps, anxiety, self-doubt, imposter syndrome, depression & burnout. My mission is to combine the powerful tools of traditional psychotherapy with sports and performance psychology, somatic, movement and mindfulness practices and make them accessible to the peak performers, the over-achievers, and the ‘I don't have time for that stuff, I’ve got training to do’ crew. No stuffy therapy office to visit, no long wait times, just plenty of real talk, tons of fresh perspective, and tangible performance results.

I work with clients on anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, grief, parenting, self-care, compulsion/addiction issues, identity/sexuality, PTSD, eating disorders, body image issues, self esteem and many other life challenges.
As I see it, the primary role of a counselor is to serve as a mirror to help reveal what the client hasn't yet been able to see-especially those patterns of relating to self, others, and the environment that might be causing suffering. At the same time, the counselor is there to reflect, affirm, and strengthen the client's unique gifts and talents.One of the biggest impediments to healing, growth, and creativity is shame. To help clients move through this debilitating emotion, I use a combination of mindfulness, body awareness, and other healing modalities.
