About Me
I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California (97263), Connecticut (3361), Nevada (01450), and Texas (205464), and I've been in practice for 13 years. I became a therapist because I noticed a pattern in my life: people felt comfortable sharing their life stories with me, and felt better as a result of having done so. To this day, I find it an honor and incredibly inspiring to witness humans in their own individual growth process, and am so grateful to have found this career path and be working with clients like you.
​
Call me today to see how we can work together to get you where you want to be!
​
I work from an integrative therapeutic orientation that is primarily from a humanistic/psychodynamic/existential/narrative perspective that is informed by and utilizes a client-specific mix of the following approaches:
​
-
Family Systems
-
Cognitive-Behavioral (CBT)
-
Mindfulness-Based
-
Solution-Focused
-
Structural
-
Strength-Based
-
Gestalt
-
Attachment-Based
​
Additionally, when the client is interested in homework assignments, I develop creative and unique homework assignments to help solidify what we've discussed in session (if you're not into homework, that's perfectly fine, too).
I also utilize imagery, metaphor, art, music, drama, literature, documentaries and movies to supplement/augment what we discuss in session, along with an appropriate dose of reality and humor when necessary to solidify your understanding of new and/or complex topics.

Online counseling focused exclusively on...
Trauma/PTSD
When we experience an unexpected event or series of events, it can shake us to our very core, changing the way we view ourselves and the world around us. Receiving support, guidance and direction through the healing process can result in a renewed and regenerated understanding of yourself, your world, and your place in it.
​
​
​
Anxiety
Grief and Loss
Grief and loss is a type of trauma, and can either be expected or unexpected. Similar to trauma, the experience of grief and loss can cause us to question many aspects of our lives and how to proceed in the absence of an important part of who we've known ourselves to be. Therapy for grief and loss can be considered a kind of "patchwork quilt" in which we weave together memories, values, identity, and your eventual vision for the future.
Stage of Life Transitions
Life transitions may involve trauma, grief and loss. They too, may be unexpected, but they may also be planned and can have positive effects on our life. At the same time, life transitions generally involve the closing of one door and the opening of another, which can bring up a variety of conflicting and potentially confusing thoughts and emotions that can be addressed in therapy.
Chronic Stress
Compassion Fatigue & Burnout
Sometimes anxiety can propel us toward being our best self, while other times (and perhaps more frequently) it gets in the way. Developing a compassionate yet clear plan to conquer your fears can open up an entirely new world of joys and opportunities you may never have thought possible. Your life and freedom await you!
​
​
​
In our fast-paced world, it can be difficult to find space from the multitude of things generating stress in our lives -- whether that's work, school, raising a family, starting a business, caring for aging parents, or all of the above and more. Identifying your values, your short and long-term goals while developing tools and a solid plan to get you there as a whole, balanced human being can create the relief you've been looking for.
You've been giving and giving, and though it's a part of who you are, you're finding that your cup is empty and you're running out of steam, not feeling like yourself anymore. You've lost your "zest" for life and are looking for a way to get back to your sense of self...or discover a new one. There's light ahead, and we can work together to help you find it.
