I offer telehealth therapy (video/phone) only for local and international clients with busy schedules. I treat clients dealing with career/life transitions. Many behaviors can't be controlled through rational thought but emerge based on prior conditioning from the environment and other external and internal stimuli. I help clients to be "problem-focused" and "action-oriented." I also help them select specific strategies to address their problems and achieve personal and professional goals by unlocking their full potential.

Do you feel there is a disconnection in your relationship(s)? Has communication broken down, and the path to repair is unclear or uncertain? Maybe the "culture" of your relationship is not functioning as before? Each relationship is unique, bringing in different values of each person to it. Sometimes events or situations may cause a disruption to the relationship, and navigating these changes can be overwhelming. I can be a resource to help explore, discuss, and develop changes that build a "new culture" that works for you both.

There is a popular Lao Tsu quote that says, "Knowing others is wisdom, but knowing yourself is enlightenment." Without intentionally reflecting and looking inwards it becomes difficult to stay present and even keeled. Using current evidenced based practices my goal is to help you rediscover yourself and alleviate some of the barriers like (but not limited to) depression, anxiety or intrusive thoughts, substance abuse, family/marital issues and anger problems that are keeping you from truly being present, knowing yourself, and investing fully into meaningful relationships with those around you.

That’s why I use the Gott man Method, a research-backed approach to help couples reconnect.
You’re starting to feel like the connection you once had with your partner is slipping away. Small arguments are becoming more frequent, and the laughter and intimacy that once came easily now feel distant. You’ve tried everything—from reading self-help books to having difficult conversations—but nothing has really made a lasting difference. Deep down, you’re worried that things might never go back to the way they were. But you’re not ready to give up. You want to feel close again, trust each other deeply, and rebuild the bond that brought you together in the first place.

Being hu man is hard! Living in the current world with all its complexities is even harder; thus, the need to talk to someone at some point, about something, has become inevitable. All our sessions are conducted via Telehealth while maintaining the nurture, care, professionalism and the listening ear you need in order to help resolve the presenting issues - be they marital, parental or individual. I have a very specific interest in couples but also enjoy treating mood disorders using an amalgamation of evidence-based modalities and inner child work for certain presentations. Either way, the client drives the process.

I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Existential Psychotherapy, therapies for PTSD, and experiential skill-based approaches for managing and boosting resilience to distress, including advanced methods in meditation (Zen, Chi Kung, Mindfulness).
I approach therapy as education - helping clients to better identify patterns associated with difficulties, develop skills to overcome these difficulties, and learn how to utilize these skills in their daily lives in order to live as optimally as possible. We focus both on addressing the issues that have been plaguing you as well as learning to live more fully and comfortably in each moment and activity you are engaged in. Learning powerful skills helps overcome specific problems, boost resilience against future problems, and more fully enjoy daily life. Therapy is individually tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle.

I believe in wellness from a holistic perspective-emotional, psychological, social, spiritual, and cultural. When life affects these domains, imbalance, and discord exist. I recognize our unique experiences, which influence our values, beliefs, worldview, and perceptions of ourselves and our environment. I believe in autonomy and eliciting innate strengths to navigate the uncertainties of life. The hu man spirit is resilient. I view therapy through a family systems lens. My foundation is Experiential, and my approach is Integrative, which ties systems theories to the unique needs of each individual and family.

DECIDING TO BEGIN PSYCHOTHERAPY IS A COURAGEOUS ACT. I enjoy working with clients who, via symptoms such as depression, anxiety, sexual-orientation or career issues, eating disorders, life transitions, or relationship issues are seeking a deeper understanding of their lives and which direction they wish to take. Often the symptom is the "call" from psyche, a portal into a deeper exploration into one's life which may yield increased self-awareness and introductions to formerly unknown aspects of one's own being. I feel privileged to be called upon to accompany individuals on this journey. At this time,
