Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. My experience in the counseling field is extensive, varied and spans over 20 years. I am passionate about the field of Psychology, about people, and relationship. For me there is nothing more important than this work, and I consider it an honor and a privilege to be able to do this work with you.
My approach is warm and empathic. My goal is to create a safe environment for you to be able to reach your goals. My methodology is Client Centered and Psychodynamic. As it may be called for, I would at times use a Solution Focused, or an Existential approach as well.
I work mainly with adults who either have reached some type of a crossroads in their life, or are experiencing a big change in their life. There is often a loss of an important relationship or unhappiness in a relationship, or sometimes there is a general sense of unhappiness . Sometimes people find themselves questioning where they are in their lives. Maybe they are questioning themselves, or a relationship, or their career. Whatever you may be dealing with, we can talk about it and gain the understanding around it that you may need.

Many people wonder whether connecting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research indicates that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One major benefit is flexibility – clients can choose the format that works best for them, whether that is a video appointment, a phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to incorporate therapy into a busy schedule.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch to a different therapist at any time if they are seeking a better fit.
