I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds to address the issues that interfere with their emotional well-being, relationships, and overall peace of mind. Clients often describe feeling depressed, anxious, lacking in direction, or struggling to move beyond difficult events. In a confidential, warm and supportive environment, we work together to process difficult feelings, challenge self-defeating thoughts, and build confidence that promotes lasting change.

I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California and have assisted people over many years with a variety of problems and issues. These have included psychological challenges such as depression and anxiety, as well as behavioral challenges such as adopting and maintaining healthy behaviors and a healthy lifestyle. Although these problems often call for different approaches, they share some important elements. We often end up feeling badly about our own thoughts, feelings, or actions and they often do not seem to make sense.

Do you find your emotions to be overwhelming or avoid difficult emotions altogether? Are you struggling to feel comfortable being with yourself or with others, find it difficult to connect, feel numb, or simply don't want to feel anything? Feel trapped by your fears, or feel like life is unfulfilling, like something is missing? Sometimes the tools that once helped us to survive keep us from thriving. I can help you with your anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship or family issues, life stressors, burnout, and any kind of life transition. My goal is to help you figure out how to tune in, feel deeply, and live your life fully.

You just don't know what to do. You're not even sure if therapy works, but you know you've got to do something different. You've tried to figure it out on your own and you feel stuck.

And this is more than just learning to live with a psychological limp.

Human beings have an innate capacity towards healing and are unconsciously driven to be better psychologically, even when we think we are at our worst. In other words, we already have all we need to get better, we just need to access it. Naturally, our bodies, minds, and hearts seek equilibrium, peace and ultimately joy; a fully embodied human coherence. Together, in a safe, compassionate, and non judgmental environment we can create positive change for you. My personal goal is to be a safe container for you to explore your internal self, while ultimately helping you reach the goals you aim to achieve in therapy. I truly believe in people and their ability to self actualize, heal, and to live life with happiness and satisfaction.
