Master of Arts, Counseling Psychology
In our frenzied, accomplishment-focused world, it is easy to lose touch with who we are, and how we want to show up in our lives. We may have reached our goals, yet find that we are not as satisfied or as joyful as we had imagined we would be. The therapeutic relationship is a great opportunity to slow down and examine our lives, and ultimately make choices that feel more aligned with what we want and how we want to feel.
I hold a non-judgmental space where all of you is welcome, even the ugly, scary, and forgotten parts. My goal as a therapist is to allow you to more fully experience yourself, and begin to let go of anything that does not feel like the most authentic, true version of yourself. I truly believe in the therapeutic relationship, and the value of a trusted witness in our healing process.
My approach is client-led, relational and humanistic. I integrate the body, mind, and spirit and work in collaboration with you as a whole person. While my training is grounded in psychodynamic theory, I draw from a variety of traditions. Above all, I treat each client as an individual and the therapy is ultimately led by your needs and intentions in doing this work.
I come from a wealth of experience working with children and families. I hold a special interest in working with blended families, interfaith families, and those navigating separation/divorce, new custody arrangements or dealing with another major transition.

This year has brought innumerable challenges, and you have undoubtedly weathered a great many transitions. Perhaps you have now found yourself in a situation you never imagined possible, and are uncertain of what tomorrow will bring. Whether you feel socially isolated or socially overwhelmed, quality human connection is vital right now. I can offer video or phone sessions to any individual residing in the state of California. We are all deserving of support at this time.
