Does it feel like nothing is ever good enough and neither are you? You don’t have to feel this way - therapy helps. We can work together to overcome crises, learn to calm yourself down, build confidence, feel more hopeful, communicate more effectively, build and have better relationships, feel comfortable in your own skin, feel whole, and much more! Send me a message today.
My areas of focus include overcoming perfectionism; anxiety and stress; shock and complex trauma (e.g. rape, abuse, car accidents...); interracial and interfaith couples; and EMDR. I have a warm and direct style. Together we might use the following tools: mindfulness, insight, talk about your history, noticing present moment, challenging thoughts, etc.
Let's talk so you can begin the journey to feel better. I am licensed in California and Oregon, and see clients via video. My clients have significantly developed more freedom and choice in their lives!

Therapy with me is like having a mental health mentor. I treat clients where early attachment has been disrupted (perfectionism, anxiety, depression, abuse...) and we will work together as a team to look at current patterns and past history. Ultimately, my clients develop more calm, more control over their emotions, more expression, and more freedom and joy!

I have a very eclectic practice and want to use the modalities that will help you the most. In our first session, we'll do an intake and l will get an overview of what brought you to therapy and your basic history. During treatment, you can expect some or all of the following: mindfulness, somatic practices, EMDR, drawing, here-and-now observations, exploring your personal history, and more.
