Specialties

Life doesn’t have to be so difficult. Hope & tools to empower you are possible. Energetic & compassionate therapist who believes you are not defined by your symptoms and have the ability to bring awareness and healing to the parts of you that have held you back for so long.

You can expect respect and a therapy that seeks to understand your strengths and offer tools to understand what is holding you back and build the courage to bring healing to the parts of you that need it.

Many clients have either poor experiences with past therapists or questions about how therapy can help. My goal is to help you understand how therapy can help and if I am the right fit for your needs.

I have worked with a diverse group of clients, many of whom struggle with patterns that have started in the past — likely useful in a fashion — only to have stayed stuck in that pattern and now holding them back.

Anxiety, Trauma, Depression, relationship difficulties, feelings of being stuck, transitions in life, work issues… all are common parts that clients feel relief from through our work.

History

Established in 2012.

**NOTE: Posting a review of my services is your right as a client and it is entirely up to you to decide whether you wish to write a review. But I gently discourage clients from posting reviews of my practice for the reasons below.

1. The California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists Ethics Code states that «Marriage and family therapists do not solicit testimonials from patients.» — Principle 10.06

Since you may decide to return to therapy with me at a later date, I do not request testimonials from people who have ended therapy with me.

2. Unlike other business owners who may respond to their Yelp reviews, as a MFT, I must provide confidentiality to my clients. This means I am restricted from responding in any way that acknowledges whether someone has been in my care.

3. I hope that if we work together, we can discuss your feelings about our work directly and in person. This may not always feel comfortable, but the discussion of positive and negative reactions to our process can be an important part of your therapy. If we are not a good match, I’m always happy to help you find a therapist who better suits you.

4. If you still choose to write something about my practice on Yelp, remember that this is a public forum and you may be sharing personally revealing information with a wide range of readers. To preserve your privacy, consider using a pseudonym that is not linked to your regular email address or friend networks.

5. If you believe that I (or any licensed mental health professional) have done something harmful, consider contacting your state licensing board to make a formal complaint. This may protect other consumers of therapy services. Be aware that details of your therapy may come up if there is a formal investigation.
