Have you lost your footing? Are you struggling to adjust to hardships or losses? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? Is worrying taking up too much mental space?   Learn strategies to help relieve depression and anxiety, how to communicate authentically, and make peace with your life.   I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I specialize in:

Grief counseling: Sometimes grief is too powerful to hold on to by yourself. Whether your loss is new or recently remembered, I would like to help you to let go of the pain and cherish the love.

Trauma:  Memories of traumatic events can greatly restrict your life. Therapy can help lessen that gut-dropping feeling. I am an EMDRIA certified EMDR therapist. I use this and other techniques to unhook the hold that past traumas can have on your present life.

Mothers without Mothers: Sometimes taking care of children can trigger feelings about the mother you used to have, or the mother you never had. Therapy can help you fully develop the mother that you are.

Individual Psychotherapy: A counseling office is a place to regroup. I draw on many of the latest approaches to help you begin to define yourself by your unique strengths and gain insight into your authentic self.
