One of my specialties is working with adults and teenagers who grew up in alcoholic or dysfunctional families, helping them to move beyond their family legacy, learning how their childhood affected them in the past and how it is influencing them in the present.
Awaken to the Possibilities..Change Your life for the Better! For over 20 years I have been helping people overcome and grow beyond their painful emotions and relationships, gain access to their personal longings and inner resources, and discover their deepest wisdom. Clients tell me that I have not only helped them resolve their presenting symptoms but also helped them heal the underlying source of their problems. Most people feel significantly better and are more prepared to cultivate their lives in uniquely rich and meaningful ways.

My areas of focus are working with adults on with work related stress, anxiety, depression, self–esteem, attachment, relationships, interpersonal communication, and life transitions. I work with adults of all ages and a variety of backgrounds. One population I work a lot with are those having jobs in the technology sector (i.e. Silicon Valley), that can be stressful and demanding. We can work towards learning skills like: effective communications with coworkers, regulating emotions when work loads feel overwhelming, and having work/life balance; as well as other topics such as social, personal, relationships and mental wellness.

My primary area of focus is helping adults and teens who are experiencing a transition in their life and my goal is to empower clients in a compassionate and understanding way.
Taking the steps to care for yourself and your mental health shows that you are ready for change. When coping styles or life experiences challenge our ability to navigate the world, we often need help to get a different perspective and learn new skills. You may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship or family issues, self-doubt or negative thinking, or going through a life transition. Unresolved conflicts or trauma from the past may be getting in the way of creating a more fulfilled life. By offering nurturing support along with concrete tools, my hope is to offer a compassionate perspective to encourage healing.

For the past 25 years, in an educational and therapeutic setting, I have worked along side adults, and couples/families to help create effective ways to tackle such challenges. When we negatively question our self-worth and strengths, it is time to develop productive ways to break old patterns and see through a truthful lenses.

Loss of self and self-doubt can manifest in young people as anxiety, depression, burn out, anger, and more. Highly sensitive children and teenagers are especially vulnerable right now to struggles with these symptoms and may need guidance to (re)discover their purposes and passions. I help adolescents and adults become congruent with their best selves. This in turn leads to increased knowledge of self which can lead to increased self-esteem and a satisfaction with the world around them.

At moments in life we find ourselves feeling lost and overwhelmed. Not knowing how to behave, manage thoughts and feelings, recover from life circumstances. You may feel a lingering inner turmoil preventing you from living fully. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. I approach therapy by helping you sort through layers of injury and protection that surround you, to access the deepest core of your being. I can help you break through old patterns that no longer serve you. It is investing in yourself by carving out time in therapy that can pave the way to more aliveness and connection to authenticity with yourself and others.
