Find a Therapist in United States

In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.  

I am a unique "left & right" brain therapist with multiple clinical licenses and specialties that allows me to provide effective, high impact, and outcome focused services to my clients. As a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT), I offer counseling to individuals, couples, and families. As a licensed professional counselor (LPCC), I can offer additional service scope extending to career counseling. As a licensed advance alcohol and drug counselor (LAADC) & master addiction counselor (MAC), I have deep understanding of how various forms of addictions and trauma (including screen addictions) affects individuals & relationships. Besides being a therapist, I have backgrounds in engineering, organizational leadership, higher education, and business development in Silicon Valley. I enjoy connecting with my clients at where they are at, establishing a safe and strength-based experience as we explore issues set goals, and move forward. I also enjoy helping young adults, adults, and couples to navigate through tough seasons of feeling overwhelming, experiencing loss in transitions, and dealing with painful and complex circumstances. My brief strategy approaches and tech background also fits well with those who are in high stress careers and in leadership roles.

I have experience working with a very diverse set of individuals over the course of my career in the mental health field. Most individuals I work with struggle with issues that are considered dual diagnosis, or individuals that struggle with both mental health and substance use issues. I have experience working with all different ages, ethnicities, sexual orientation, mental health issues, and substance use preferences. I also come from a lens of years of lived experiences and being able to offer a lens of "coming out the other side." I provide an empathetic atmosphere that is goal orientated, and comes from an unbiased lens.

Every client gets a truly personalized approach, compassion (with zero judgement!) and a therapist who is completely invested in helping them feel better!---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You know that friend you call when you want to feel heard, validated, and receive a healthy dose of positivity?

Asking for help is one of the most challenging things to do for ourselves, but it is one of the best ways of self-investing. When we physically do not feel well, we reach out to our doctors or nurses for support because we think that is normal. When we do not feel well mentally, it can give us a sense of not feeling normal, and while everyone's story is different, it is the same because we all have one.  

My approach to therapy is relational, grounded and not overly clinical or directive. I approach our sessions with curiosity and relatability. I will help you gain a solid understanding of the root of your problems, to develop realistic expectations of yourself and others, and to ultimately be kinder and less harsh towards yourself. With greater self-awareness, you will have a greater capacity to decide what in your life needs to change and what may require gentle acceptance.  

I provide therapy to individuals across the lifespan, offering a compassionate and culturally competent space for healing and growth. What keeps me committed to this work is seeing those meaningful moments when clients gain clarity, feel truly understood, or recognize their own resilience. Supporting people through trauma, anxiety, and substance use challenges is work I approach with steady care and respect. I value showing up with honesty, curiosity, and a calm presence, and I’m grateful to play a supportive role as clients strengthen their confidence and move toward lives that feel more grounded and authentic. Additionally my task-trained therapy dog brings a calming, grounding presence to sessions and often helps clients feel more at ease as they do difficult work.  

We approach clients troubles through the lens of empathy and understanding. We often do this in our first few sessions by use of Motivational Interviewing and Positive Psychology that helps to explore what you desire to change.  

Are you attempting to manage feelings that have been building up over time? You may be living with anxiety and depression, generally feeling stuck, and/or are trying to manage the personalities of people around you. Perhaps you aren’t quite sure how to talk about what’s happening; but something doesn’t feel right—things just feel off. During times like this, talking to a professional can help. I work with young adults, parents, college and graduate students including international students. I have niche specialized experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees.

I became a therapist because I believe that each of one of us can live more fully and with more happiness and depth. It takes work and a positive connection with someone who cares and reminds you of what your inner voice is telling you. “We’re in this together,” is something I truly live by as a therapist. Hold on, the ride might get a little bumpy, but it will be so worth the effort!

My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive. A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence. In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention. I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family. Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.
