Within each of us lies a wellspring of wisdom—an inner guide shaped by our experiences, values, and intuition. This wisdom is not about knowing all the answers but about trusting ourselves to handle life’s challenges with clarity and resilience.

Through a collaborative and confidential process, I assist clients in exploring their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to foster self-understanding and promote positive change. I typically work with adults, elder adults, and teens and I aim to create a safe space for personal growth and healing. All services are provided via secure video or phone conferencing, and clients must be located in California.

Areas for Exploration and Treatment

There are many reasons why people seek therapy. Here are some of the reasons my clients have come to see me:

• Anger and emotion regulation struggles

• Anxiety, fears and panic attacks

• Boundary issues

• Caregiving stress

• Childhood trauma, abuse, and neglect

• Chronic illness challenges

• Depression

• Grief and loss (grief and loss can also be experienced without a death for example a job loss or loss of normalcy due to the pandemic)

• Immigration/acculturation

• Life transitions (adolescence, adulthood, college, career, marriage/divorce, parenthood, mid-life, retirement, terminal illness/end-of-life)

• Meaning of life

• Mindfulness-based stress management

• Perfectionism

• PTSD symptoms (intrusive thoughts, nightmares, insomnia, hyper vigilance)

• Relationship challenges (separation, divorce, infidelity, attachment issues, loneliness, and difficult family/friendship/colleague dynamics)

• Relationship with self and making peace with the past

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Work and career difficulties
