Welcome

Searching for a therapist is not an easy thing to do, but finding the right connection is essential to creating a safe space to embark on a journey towards healing, change and growth. I consider the therapy relationship sacred and believe that it should be entered into with mutual respect and deep caring.

Warmth and compassion are important in the therapeutic relationship, but even more important is authenticity, honesty and a direct style. I am a therapist who will challenge the deeply held assumptions, beliefs and patterns that are preventing you from facing whatever it is that is holding you back in your life. In our work, it is my hope that you will not only gain insight and awareness about yourself but develop healthier strategies to deal with stress and anxiety. Furthermore, it is important to me that your capacity for self-compassion increase so that the negative thoughts, self judgement and demons that you struggle with soften and become less intrusive in your life.

I have expertise working in the areas of life transitions, relationship therapy, family therapy, adoption, grief and loss, GLBTQ, adult ADD, PTSD and mood disorders and aging. I see couples, adults of all ages, families and adolescents in my practice. I offer a free 15 minute phone or video consultation.  I see cts virtually in California and do have in office appointments available. Feel free to give me contact me for a free consultation so we can see whether we may be a good fit.
