Welcome to my therapy practice. If you are anxious and feeling overwhelmed, therapy can help you find relief. If it is hard to say no and you are exhausted from taking care of everyone but yourself, my approach will help you to set healthy boundaries. Are you feeling stuck? Therapy can reduce feelings of depression and low self-worth. Are you feeling hurt by narcissistic abuse or alcoholism and drug abuse in the family? Together we will heal the pain of your inner child.

My goal is to help you to achieve a better sense of fulfillment and serenity.

My approach addresses challenges with grief and loss, relationships, substance use and codependency. With my more than 35 years of experience, I am confident that we will find a way to help you to achieve a better sense of fulfillment and serenity.

I am a licensed MFT in California with years of experience directing programs, training therapists and supporting adults in their recovery. I have weekend appointments!
