Have you had more difficulty communicating with your partner, family, or friends? Are you overwhelmed with depression, stress, career, financial, or health problems? Has there been infidelity in your relationship? I can help.

I specialize in helping clients to resolve relationship problems, self-esteem issues, depression, and anxiety. I work with individuals, couples, teens and families. I use techniques to help people improve communication, become more self-aware, and manage conflicts more easily with family, spouses, friends and co-workers. I help clients to become more assertive, satisfied, and confident in their own decision making process.

Simply having someone to talk to other than friends and family in which you feel heard and understood can begin to help decrease feelings of anxiety and depression and contribute to feelings of self-worth and self-acceptance.

I completed much of my education in Boston before moving to California eight years ago. I received an M.S.W from Simmons College, a B.A. in psychology from Tufts University and a M.A in Early Childhood Development from Tufts University. I have training in psychodynamic theories, family systems, and EMDR. I provided psychotherapy to adults, couples and teens at Hathaway Children and Family Services in Sylmar, CA and also at the department of psychiatry Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. I also draw from my own practice of mindfulness and meditation.

The pain that causes one to seek out counseling often brings new personal growth and self-understanding. I can help you get through stressful situations to create more balance, peace, and satisfaction in your life. Please call to let me know more about how I can help.
