It's another day, and you're filled with worry, anxiety and dread. Thoughts keep cycling in your mind, and you find yourself feeling sad, hopeless and helpless. You don't have to continue feeling this way. You can get the tools and skills you need in to live in a calm, joyful, fulfilling way by giving yourself the gift of therapy. Allow me to safely companion you and help you gain some effective, evidence-based techniques to release the traumas of the past and the worries of the future. When you learn to fully inhabit the present moment you'll be able to truly take control and responsibility for your life. Therein lies true healing.
With an extensive background in business, education, technology, and eldercare, as well as psychotherapy, chances are I know what you're facing in the "real world" and I can help you. I utilize a variety of approaches, including Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, DBT, EMDR, solution-based therapies, and mindfulness/guided visualization.
I invite you to reach out to start a new way of thinking and looking at your world. I'm here for you through private, secure online therapy, now and in the foreseeable future under COVID-19 restrictions. I serve exclusively California residents. Although I accept most insurances, unfortunately I cannot accept Medicare.
