Counseling in Northridge, CA. Find the Right Therapist.

My work as a therapist provides a profoundly relational context for the integration of emotional expansiveness, human understanding, and the capacity to bear life's inevitable trials-opening new paths and new possibilities for richer and deeper meaning in our lives.

In order to facilitate healing, I work to create a space where is it safe for you to share yourself, where you will always feel supported, and where you will make conscious what was previously unconscious. I look forward to joining you on your pathway to healing.


We all experience challenges and difficulties in our relationships, careers, and personal satisfaction. I offer an opportunity to explore your strengths, challenges and concerns in a safe, trusting relationship.

Therapy gives us an opportunity to find and give voice to our authentic selves, achieving healing in the process. I am passionate about working with couples, adults, and teens who have become stuck in destructive patterns and are looking for change.

I help people to have mercy on themselves. Together we can identify and break patterns of thought and behavior that don't serve you; locate the resources you need to meet your goals; end all the pain we can; and find wisdom in whatever remains.
