Has live become overwhelming? I can help!. I became a therapist to help others live a fuller, happier life. My years as Marriage and Family Therapist, help me provide you with the skills you need to ease your emotional pain, build better relationships, and change your life for the better. I am spiritual and my practice is based on spiritual connection, body and mind awareness, empathy, deep understanding and compassion. My practice is body centered and body positive. I only take Anthem Blue Cross and Alliance/ Calderon and UBH. I only offer telehealth services.
I use an eclectic mix of psychotherapy. I am trained in Jungian, dream analysis and modern methods including DBT, Maudsley, Body positivity, social justice, intuitive eating, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I can help you live a more meaningful life.
I view therapy as a sacred healing process built on trust, acceptance, and deep understanding. My style is creative, warm, non-judgmental, empathetic, engaging, direct and honest. I combine a nurturing, and supportive approach with the practical skills I have gained in 30 years of training and experience.
