​No one has the perfect childhood. 
​Even if you come from a family that’s intact and loving, life presents crises and challenges when you least expect them. It may be the loss of a loved one, difficulty forming or maintaining relationships, frustrations around a job or reaching a life goal.

My approach to therapy
I have helped clients explore their thoughts and feelings and uncover the patterns and behaviors that have shaped their lives.  
I believe we can change our perceptions and feelings about the past – no matter how disturbing – so that difficult events become just another thread in our overall life tapestry. Once we do that, we can find more joy in the present and face the future with a more positive attitude.

People can grow and change at any age. Transitions – no matter how large or small – can be an opportunity for deeper work that leads to a fuller and more satisfying  life.

My therapeutic style is calm, deeply caring, and respectful of each person's unique goals, struggles, and strengths. I practice insight-oriented depth therapy, which means I help you gain awareness of your internal and external obstacles in order to promote deep and lasting changes in your life. I also provide the practical tools you need to express yourself fully and to communicate and get along with the people in your life. I draw from multiple schools of therapy including psychodynamic, existential, family systems, attachment theory, mindfulness and interpersonal neurobiology.

Brainspotting
Like most therapists, I use traditional talk therapy, but also incorporate a mind-body therapy called Brainspotting.  This modality, which integrates the brain and the body, can help clients move through their issues faster and more effectively.


Areas of focus
In my practice, I specialize in bipolar 2, trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, midlife issues and codependency
.  

Education and training 
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.  I obtained my Bachelor's degree in English Literature from Columbia University in New York City and my Master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Phillips Graduate University in Los Angeles.  

Professional Affiliations
I am an active member of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists and the International Society for Bipolar Disorders.
​

I look forward to connecting with you.
