​I'm Glad You Stopped By
Are you having more bad days than good? Having difficulties finding the energy that you use to have? Feeling "stuck" and worried about your next step? The physical and emotional toll can be exhausting. You deserve to feel better.  I can teach you some tools to use and be there to help guide you on this journey.  Together, we can help you feel more like yourself again.  

​With more than 6 years of extensive experience and training with helping clients through many of life's challenges including relationships, school problems,  and adjusting, I know I can help you. I strive to bring kindness, genuineness, and humor into the room as I support and guide you.  We will use a variety of approaches and techniques including Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavior Therapy to help you achieve your goals. We will work together to alleviate your discomfort, learn skills, and gain awareness so you can feel in control again.

I realize that it's a process to find a therapist that's right for you or your adolescent, so I offer a free, phone consultation where we will discuss your needs, your schedule, and make sure that I'm a good fit for you. It takes courage to start this process and consistency to meet your goals.  Stay strong.

Teletherapy
(also referred to as Telehealth and Telemedicine)
A few hours in my private practice schedule are reserved for teletherapy sessions.  These live video therapy sessions or phone sessions are offered to California residents.  It provides convenience and accessibility when it's hard to come into my office.  The telehealth sessions are through a secure HIPPA platform for your security. Before starting teletherapy, we will discuss if the platform is an appropriate fit for your clinical concerns.
