I focus on working with adults, couples, and families, but my specialty is in working with couples. My approach to couples therapy is to work with my clients to identify the core issues that prevent them from having fulfilling, connected relationships rather than giving them short-term solutions. Identifying the underlying issues in the relationship that go beyond the "symptoms" expressed through fighting or distance is critical in effective couple's work. I believe that a therapist should be a good fit for a client, and when working with couples that both of you feel like I'm the right therapist.

Using an integrated approach, including EMDR, I help my clients navigate and heal from trauma and past pains (including PTSD), OCD, Anxiety (generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and health anxiety), intrusive thoughts and fears, emotional regulation difficulties, chaotic and challenging relationships, codependency and boundary issues, and grief and loss. I work with my clients to help them better understand themselves, to understand why they feel the way they do, how to deal with it, heal from it, and overcome it.

I provide couples in-person/virtual therapy throughout California. Interactions with a loved one can bring out the very best and worst in us. If the dynamic with your spouse or partner is a repeated source of pain, I am here to help. Instead of trying to understand each other, most partners make accusations & get defensive. l help couples to uncover feelings driving their interactions and reactions and then teach communication skills to help them transform the way they relate and connect. I truly believe that a loving and supportive relationship/family is one the most amazing gifts we can give to ourselves, children, and loved ones.
