With over 20 years of experience we will guide you to improving your relationships within your family and with yourself.

We bring a group with diverse experience working with clients with trauma histories, relationship issues, and issues related to addiction.
Do you sometimes feel stressed, exhausted, unfulfilled, or disconnected? When triggered do you shut down, have unexpected emotions, or dissociate? Do you work hard to please others and be successful, but no matter what you do, it never feels like you are good enough? Therapy may be able to help you learn new coping skills, decrease painful emotions and negative thoughts about yourself related to past events, and become more resilient.
I have the privilege of supporting a diverse range of individuals facing various life challenges, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, behavioral issues, marital conflicts, trauma, parenting dilemmas, LGBT family therapy, life transitions, LGBT couples therapy, grief, and substance use. My extensive experience spans county mental health, private practices, and school-based settings, allowing me to connect deeply with people from all walks of life and diverse cultural backgrounds.
They come from all walks of life. Many struggle with grief and loss--of a loved one, or of a cherished idea of how life was meant to be. Some feel at war with themselves; the survival strategies of the past--once so vital--no longer serve them, leading to depression, anxiety, and diminished relationships. They are in a bind: longing to connect but frightened, with good reason, of the vulnerability that makes connection possible. I help them move in the direction of growth and deeper connection.

Have you noticed that it's in the places you are supposed to be most relaxed (meditation, vacation, weekends, sleep) that your mind feels louder than ever? It might feel like the idea of letting your thoughts go is meant for “normal” people and that does not include you. Maybe you stand guard to keep yourself from your worst case, as if your attention to your thoughts keeps you from descending into unimaginable fear. I can help you sift through the noise and regain your confidence in yourself.
My clients are individuals, couples, and families seeking deep healing and growth. They may be dealing with trauma, depression, or anxiety, struggling to find meaning, or navigating creative blocks. I often work with teenagers facing identity and self-worth challenges, parents adjusting to the demands of young children, and couples wanting to rebuild intimacy, resolve conflicts, and find deeper connection, many of who are in non-traditional relationships.
Are there moments when you feel overwhelmed, tired of feeling stressed, anxious, and discouraged from life events that are out of your control? Maybe you have experienced a significant trauma or loss like a relationship ending, a job loss, a move, loss of financial security, or the death of a loved one? All life changes both positive and negative can throw you into grief, a state of disequilibrium, where you struggle to find a new normal or you experience difficulties in your relationships.

I support adults, teens, individuals, and couples from all cultural backgrounds. Everyone is welcome! I am licensed in California, Kansas, and Texas and am limited to only seeing clients within the boundaries of those states.

Are you distracted by thoughts & insecurities during sex? Does sex feel like a performance or an obligation? Do you worry you'll disappoint your partner because of difficulties with arousal, erections, or orgasms? Do you sometimes avoid sex altogether because working through relationship issues feels complicated or overwhelming? If so, you’re neither alone nor broken. Like many, you may be experiencing performance anxieties, low sexual desire, or have inaccurate or unhelpful beliefs about sex.
Are you anxious or stressed? A bit of a perfectionist for whom things are not perfect? Are past events getting in the way of what you want to do in the present? I love working with adults and teens dealing with anxiety or panic, trauma (including complex trauma), creative/entertainment industry issues, relationships, and identity issues.
