I currently have immediate openings for individuals seeking therapy services. Online therapy services are done through video. I work with adolescents and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, family conflict, relationship issues, low self-esteem, shame, unresolved trauma, and feelings of being stuck or disconnected to help them discover their inner strengths, improve relationships, and cultivate self-compassion. My approach is compassionate, empathetic, and challenging so clients feel seen, heard, and understood while also raising their self-awareness to facilitate healing and growth.  

You may be someone who thinks deeply, feels deeply, and has a good deal of insight into yourself—yet still find yourself caught in patterns that are difficult to change. You may be struggling with anxiety, an important relationship, a major life transition, or simply feeling less connected to yourself and the life you want to be living. I offer online therapy for adults throughout California who are looking for more than simply managing symptoms. Together, we can slow things down and explore what's happening beneath the surface—the patterns, beliefs, emotions, and different parts of you that may be pulling in opposite directions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and integrative, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness, somatic awareness, and depth-oriented psychotherapy. Our work is not only about understanding why you feel the way you do, but helping you experience something different—with greater self-trust, emotional freedom, and a deeper connection to yourself and others. I offer a grounded, compassionate space for online therapy where you can slow down, feel understood, and explore what’s been shaping your experience. Together, we work with care and curiosity to help you gain clarity, strengthen emotional resilience, and move forward with greater steadiness and self-trust.  

Are you struggling with anxiety, stress, or habits you can’t seem to break? I specialize in clinical hypnosis and hypnotherapy to help you quickly overcome challenges like smoking cessation, weight loss, alcohol dependence, procrastination, and low confidence. As an experienced hypnotherapist and mindset coach, I work with the subconscious mind—the key to lasting transformation—so you can release limiting beliefs and achieve real results without willpower or struggle. Hypnosis is a safe, natural, and highly effective method for anxiety relief, stress reduction, confidence building, and behavior change. Many clients experience rapid breakthroughs and feel calmer, more focused, and in control after just a few sessions. If you’re ready to stop self-sabotage and create success in your health, relationships, or career, I’m here to help you reprogram your mind and step into a more empowered, confident version of yourself.

With over a decade of experience across international populations, I am firmly established in my clinical skills and understand the real-time impact of adversity. Your struggles in life are a pain I would love to bear with you, and I reinforce that these obstacles will only empower you on the other side. I recline in a Post-Graduate Gestalt training that enables me to shift my clients, watching lives change time and time again. Would you like to build a Heaven for yourself? There is no time like the present to get on with the Shift-show.  

I approach therapy with steadiness, depth, and respect for the complexity of being human. I bring more than 17 years of experience in the mental health and addiction field, including a decade of leadership within high-acuity treatment. I have worked alongside people and families during crisis, relapse, profound loss, psychiatric instability, relational rupture, and the long, uneven process of rebuilding a life. That experience shaped my ability to remain grounded when circumstances are intense, answers are unclear, or several conflicting truths exist at once. I do not rush people toward acceptance, forgiveness, or a solution before their experience has been fully understood. Not every loss can be transformed into a lesson, and not every painful chapter can be tied neatly with a bow. Sometimes the first meaningful shift is finally being able to name what happened without minimizing it, defending someone else, or questioning whether you are entitled to feel its impact. I work to create a space where difficult material can be spoken plainly, examined carefully, and held without judgment, shame, or pressure to perform healing correctly. I do not understand people as broken, disordered, or reduced to a collection of symptoms. Anxiety, perfectionism, withdrawal, control, people-pleasing, anger, hyper-independence, and emotional shutdown rarely develop without context. They often began as intelligent attempts to remain safe, connected, accepted, or functional in circumstances that required adaptation. The problem is not that these responses once existed. The problem is that strategies developed for survival can quietly become the architecture of an adult life, continuing long after the original danger has passed. Therapy allows us to slow the pattern down enough to understand it. Together, we examine what shaped you, what you learned to expect from relationships, which roles you were assigned or adopted, and what parts of yourself became unacceptable, inconvenient, or unsafe to express. We look at what continues to repeat despite insight and effort, where your present choices may still be organized around old fears, and what it costs to remain loyal to ways of living that no longer fit. My style is relational, warm, direct, and deeply engaged. I am not a silent therapist, and I will not offer polished reassurance when honesty would serve you better. I listen closely, ask intentional questions, identify patterns, and offer perspective or challenge when it can deepen the work. I also remain attentive to pacing. Directness without attunement can become intrusion, just as compassion without honesty can leave someone understood but unchanged. I believe meaningful therapy requires both care and accountability, held in a relationship where difficult conversations can feel safe enough to have. I draw from attachment-based, somatic, motivational, cognitive behavioral, and depth-oriented approaches. I do not force clients into a single theory or rely on a one-size-fits-all model. Some experiences need language and meaning. Others are carried through bodily activation, numbness, vigilance, or a nervous system that has not yet recognized that the threat has ended. Some patterns require practical intervention, while others must be understood at their roots. The work is shaped around the person in front of me and what will allow change to become both meaningful and sustainable. I work especially well with clients seeking deep, transformational work rather than symptom management alone. You do not need to arrive with perfect insight, a clear goal, or the language to explain everything. What matters is a willingness to become curious about what is happening beneath the surface, to examine what is and is not working, and to participate honestly in the process. Motivation does not mean certainty. It means being willing to remain in the conversation when the work becomes uncomfortable, complicated, or unexpectedly revealing. Therapy is not about becoming a more acceptable version of yourself. It is about distinguishing who you are from who you had to become to feel safe, loved, needed, or protected. It is about deciding which adaptations still serve you, which have become too costly, and how to remain connected to others without repeatedly abandoning yourself. At the center of my work is a belief in each person’s capacity for self-understanding, agency, and meaningful choice. I bring clinical knowledge and experience, but I do not position myself as the authority over your inner life. You are the person who has lived it. My role is to help you see more clearly, make connections that may have remained outside awareness, and create enough safety and honesty for something different to become possible. I hold that responsibility with care, seriousness, humility, and a genuine respect for the trust required to invite another person into the places you have learned to keep hidden.  

You do all the things. Show up for others but can’t quite figure out why your body can’t show up for you. Tried to talk therapy but your body's still reactive? Bodywork but your mind is left confused? I help women whose tried everything but her body still isn't healing from chronic fatigue, anxiety, infertility & unexplained physical symptoms by combining psychotherapy & somatic touch therapy.  

More vitality please. More of life . More intimacy. More authentic relationship .  

I help people who are feeling disconnected or cut off from important people in their lives. I work to help people resolve the issues and the discord and if that's not possible to make peace with a life apart from their loved ones.
