Santa Monica, CA - Accepting clients in CA
My approach to therapy depends on the needs of each client I work with. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as both of these modalities help to identify and cultivate an individual’s strengths, which can lead us to finding meaning and purpose in life. I decided to become a therapist because I wanted to help others with their problems. As a mom to 7 children (who are all grown up), and as a music teacher at a grammar school, I was always involved with families. I learned through my training how thoughts, feelings, and actions affect our behavior. I would like to help others build a better relationship with themselves and others, and see them grow and flourish and find meaning and purpose in their lives.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PhD) in northern California. I received my doctorate degree from the University of Florida. I have 40+ years of experience as a therapist treating adults. I will only see patients in-person in my office. Phone calls and texting/emails are used for communication as necessary between visits. I initially address what prompted an individual to seek help at this particular time, ie why now? I help people clarify issues--concerns, thoughts, feelings, situations--and explore/develop effective coping strategies and behaviors.

I earned my Master's degree in Counseling, with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy from San Diego State University. I have foundational training in multi-systemic and multi-cultural, family, couple and individual therapy.
I practice from a strength-based, solution-focused, systems, feminist, trauma-informed and insight oriented perspective, believing therapy is an art my clients and I engage in collaboratively. I also incorporate elements of mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy to help my clients meet their goals. Additionally, I believe a person's sexuality, sexual expression and gender identity play a significant role in an individual's mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Therefore, I believe exploring these aspects of the self in therapy, in addition to looking at other areas of a client's life, is a vital part of comprehensive mental health. Overall, I take a holistic, integrative approach to practicing psychotherapy and am grateful to have the opportunity to help my clients become the version of themselves they wish to be.
Perhaps you're feeling stressed, stuck, or anxious; maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship(s), or just feel that you aren't living the life you were meant to lead. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. In my therapy sessions I promote self-exploration, behavioral change and assist you in looking at things from a new perspective. Whether you’re going through a stressful period in your life, experiencing anxiety and depression, are in a difficult relationship, have been grappling with the same problem for years, or are simply seeking guidance for a particular issue, I have the tools and professional experience to help you empower yourself to move forward.

“The lotus is the most beautiful flower, whose petals open one by one. ... The lotus flower, is a magical flower for it is rooted in mud, surrounded by water and somehow finds a way to bloom and grow. A lotus is a survivor, it pushes its way through muddy waters and finds the sunlight.”
Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from mental or physical illness, it is a dynamic process of change and growth. "A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”
While you can't change the difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenging relationships in your life, adjust to physical illness/injury and unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in southern California for 15 years, working with children, adults and families.
I have over 24 years of experience with the neuro-atypical diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individuals with either of these neuro-atypical disorders experience many social challenges, sensory challenges, and misperceptions by the outside world (along with a lot of bad/unhelp advice). It can bring tremendous relief to receive relevant suggestions and understanding of the life experiences that accompany these diagnoses.
I have extensive experience working with individuals their and families in navigating what to do next after receiving a developmental diagnosis, such as ASD. It surprises so many families that there are many resources to assist with the struggles they have gone through or anticipate that they will go through. I have helped parents to understand their neuro-atypical child better, and the neuro-atypical person to understand themselves and their roles in life better. This has lead to the person with the neuro-atypical diagnosis experiencing more successes in their roles as a student/co-worker, classmate, family member, partner, and friend.

Sometimes ordinary psychotherapy just isn’t “it”. Most people who come into my practice come due to persistent sexual and emotional problems that regular psychotherapy analyzed, but did not effectively facilitate.
Sometimes, “How does it make you feel?” Is simply too little and not sufficient for change. You are left feeling an inventory of your issues, but not much change. You will likely find me quite different to the above. I don’t fit the mold and this is intentional because traditional psychotherapy frustrates me and I need to bring about relief and real change.
I am extroverted and high-energy. I am an active and verbose facilitator, and you come because you desire to do the hard work on yourself. It is my honor to serve. I help emotional/sexual/abuse traumas heal using bilateral stimulation known as tapping, and positive psychotherapy. We laugh together!
I work with fathers as well. I teach men how to listen effectively, for conflict resolution and to learn how to validate your mate and yourself for deeper relaxation and communion as a pair.
What people are saying:
"She blew my mind! I feel so much better."
"I should have done this years ago."
"Now I have the mental tools to be effective. I have "proof of concept". This is all worth it."
"This is rewarding to share; I can provide my kids with tools they can use growing up."
"This has had such an impact on my life."
"I feel Great!"
"You are the best psychotherapist I have ever had, and I have seen plenty of them!"
