Hi everyone,
I am a Therapist with 8 years of experience and two Masters from the University of Pennsylvania and a Bachelor's from UC Berkeley. I have an absolute passion for working with people who deal with chronic pain/chronic health conditions, people who are experiencing issues in their sex life or their relationship or exploring alternative types of romantic relationships (however please note, I do not do couples counseling, only individual counseling regarding a relationship), and those suffering from over-worrying and anxiety. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing and playing towards your strengths.
Being a Therapist and knowing my career focus is to help others feel less alone, more validated supported and genuinely heard brings me happiness.
I am here to support you and look forward to helping you reach your goals.

You are grieving, heartbroken, or lost. You didn’t get the job, you broke up with your partner, someone important has died. Grief is normal and exquisite and painful. You want to talk about it, but you don’t want to burden anyone. Here you have permission to be a burden. To be messy, seen, repetitive, and stuck. I’ll meet you there, but won’t leave you there. We work towards managing the unimaginable. Reckoning with the stories we tell and the paths lost, in order to reconcile with where we truly are. There you will find possibility. New stories, new love, new hope. There you will find the courage to start again.

My goal in my psychotherapy practice is to help others rid themselves of fear and embrace love. When you become an active partner in your healing, barriers that prevent you from living your life to the fullest disappear.
Through Emotional Release techniques, attachment-based therapy, and an exploration of internal family systems, we get to the heart of what is holding you back, and what your greatest purpose/potential is in this lifetime.
Sometimes the way we think and talk about our lives limits our choices and perspectives. I help you recognize what is not working for you, and provide tools and practices to build your self-confidence, trust in your own insight, and strengthen your ability to let go and speak your truth.
If you are ready to take control of your own life and do everything on your bucket list: let's work together.

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!"

I work well with individuals or couples who experience symptoms of stress and anxiety, as I maintain a calm demeanor, work with a sense of humor, and maintain an optimistic approach. It's not my approach to talk through people’s past and earliest traumas to get us caught up to the modern day challenges. Instead I find it more effective to begin with the challenges faced in the present moment; and then we can move backwards as appropriate. Mental health involves a relationship with lifestyle and physical health, so these can be important areas to touch on in the first sessions. I have specific experience working with people from across all cultures. Scheduling sessions is your decision. Feel free to meet weekly, biweekly, or as needed.
For five years I taught psychology, cross cultural studies and statistics as a faculty member in a small college. I then began to see patients with severe mental and physical health impairments in an inpatient setting. Now I am working primarily with clients in my outpatient private practice, as well as supervising psychologist interns. Additionally I am working with vulnerable adults in a community care setting outside of my private practice. My background is in research, evolutionary and mindfulness based philosophies, and I have a strong interest in working with cross cultural populations, couples and individuals.
