Teletherapy for California
If you've ever been told you're "too much," welcome. I understand. I believe you deserve to be empowered to be your truest, most expressive self. As a therapist, I foster growth and confidence for women, LGBTQ+, and BIPOC to feel empowered. I'm affirming of non-traditional relationships, including non-monogamy and kink. I use evidence-based, somatic interventions to strengthen your mind-body connection, overcome trauma/CPTSD, and help you live your most authentic life. Using a strengths-based, active approach, I will help you make meaningful change in your life so you can go from surviving to thriving.

I take an active role in helping you find your way back onto a path of meaningful direction. While I respect the need to create space and allow for silence and trust building I also don't sit on the side lines. I am there to help you find out what it is that is "wrong" and provide evidence based modalities or paths out of that particular issue. I like using the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy while also helping a person find kindness for themselves in identifying where the problem patterns originated. I have expertise in grief, couples work, recovery and co-dependency as well anxiety and depression. See my website for more.

Relationships are everything––our relationship to ourselves, our relationship to others and to the world around us. We have an immense capacity to heal in relationship and in the right conditions we can grow and thrive. The famed psychologist Carl Jung wrote that we, “walk in shoes too small," meaning we limit our own potential, whether we are conscious of it or not. In that sense, the work of therapy is to broaden ourselves and fully embody the potential that awaits each of us. We aim to skillfully and artfully help you through whatever it is that brings you here to both surrender and grow into a more full and satisfying life.

Pornography addiction can have a significant impact on your life and relationships but there is hope for recovery. I’m not just a mental health professional, I’ve been “you” for many years. I understand firsthand the personal and relational struggles that come with uncontrollable pornography use. The endless stream of attractive women a few clicks away on Pornhub, Onlyfan or Social Media used to reduce stress and boredom is hard to stop even when it’s destroying your life and relationships

I center my work around connecting the mind, body and soul to find peace and energetic balance with various holistic and somatic practices. In using these approaches, clients learn their abilities to address any anxiety, depression, traumas, energy blocks, loss of self, difficult relationships and other maladaptive behaviors to become their most desired and divine selves.

As a psychologist, writer, and trauma survivor, it's my passion and privilege to help others overcome life-changing tragedies. I'm dedicated to helping people make sense of the painful experiences that have shaped their lives. Over decades of education and personal exploration, I've had the good fortune to put together some of the essential pieces in life's puzzle. My new book, "Daddy" —which the The San Francisco Chronicle calls "“a thoughtful and expansive biography of PTSD” and “a compelling narrative of familial history"— draws from these experiences to explore violence, identity, and personal and collective trauma in America.

I get it. Everyone else is managing a seemingly perfect life, but for some reason you can’t. The truth is, today it’s easy for anyone to get sucked into an emotional downward spiral with no idea how or why. We are more stressed out, overworked, and under-appreciated than ever before. But with the right help and support, you can find better ways to tolerate today’s inevitable stressors, and develop more satisfying friendships, closer connections with family, greater intimacy with romantic partners, and more productive work relationships.

You're ready to have a relationship filled with trust, good communication, great passion and sex and the ability to fight fair - a partner in life where you support each other. We are here to help you get there. We have the book on relationships and we will share. We use a research based form of couples therapy.

Do you want to understand more about how and why you are the way you are? Are you contending with difficult and painful symptoms in your emotional and mental life? Do you need a safe, neutral, and compassionate third party to hear you, reflect your story, offer feedback, and try to make sense of your life together with you? Everyone contends with painful experiences and emotions in their lives. Often times we are confused by our pain because despite our best efforts, we can’t seem to make sense of why we are hurting so much or what to do about it. So often the pain in life is a result of unconscious energies within us.
