Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

As a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 18 years of professional experience, I am dedicated to helping my clients navigate life’s challenges with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My extensive work has equipped me with the skills to support individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, and anger management.

I believe that each person is unique, and I take great care in tailoring our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your specific needs. My approach is grounded in evidence-based treatment modalities, ensuring that you receive the most effective support. For clients presenting with stress and anxiety, I often help individual’s identify and reframe negative thought patterns, as well as utilize Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to cultivate a sense of calm and presence.

When working on relationship issues, I help couples and individuals strengthen their emotional bonds and improve communication. For parenting challenges, I help client’s foster healthy family dynamics and build stronger, more resilient relationships between parents and children.

In addressing anger management, I integrate techniques to help clients develop healthier ways of expressing and managing their emotions. I believe in a collaborative process where we work together to achieve your goals and enhance your well-being.

Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can be an act of courage, and I am proud of you for beginning this journey. I am here to support you every step of the way, and I look forward to working together to create a path toward greater peace and fulfillment in your life.

Is Online Therapy the Right Choice for Your Mental Health Journey?

Many people ask whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One major benefit is flexibility – patients can connect in the way that best fits their schedules and comfort level, whether through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This makes it easier to keep up with regular appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals provide care in these formats, and if someone decides they need a different fit, it is typically possible to switch therapists. Online therapy can be a practical and effective option for many people seeking support, offering accessible ways to work toward emotional and relational goals.
