About
Childhood Lays a Foundation
So much learned during childhood to cope with family dynamics, school, etc. create a force preventing the adult from thriving.
The very beliefs that helped sustain equilibrium in childhood become self-limiting and constricting. These are at the root of adult stress and often operate beneath the surface of your awareness.
Getting relief from depression and anxiety seems out of reach – and blaming oneself is generally underneath these feelings. Relief? Where is it? How can it be found?
Working Together
Therapy with me can help you understand the source of your suffering and help create the opportunity to live a richer and more fulfilling life.
Working together, we will explore your story, understand it and what you have been through, and help you heal from within.
I have witnessed positive changes in my clients and have experienced them myself in my own therapy. My academic training and my own experience as a client allow me to appreciate both sides – and the healing power of therapy.
“Nowhere in life is a person listened to, felt, empathized with, and experienced with such concentrated sharing and emphasis on every aspect of personal communication.”
About Me
Helping people has been my life’s calling. As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have been working in California communities for over 30 years – helping people help themselves.
Yes, I have degrees: undergraduate in psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Alliant International University – San Francisco (formerly California School of Professional Psychology-CSPP).
When I am not in work mode, I love spending time with two favorite people – my two adult children. I also love hiking, camping, and other fun things in the great outdoors; reading books; watching interesting Netflix series; or working in my vegetable garden.
