You are not alone in these struggles. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that more than a quarter of the American adult population experiences some kind of anxiety, depression, or other emotional difficulty each year.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, not adjusting well, or can’t cope with what is going on in your life, you may benefit from counseling. Studies have shown that 88 percent of those who go to psychotherapy have improved outlooks after just one session.
I am a licensed therapist. I have enjoyed working with a variety of clients since 1987. I will use evidence-based therapy to help you identify and cope with the problems you are experiencing in ways difficult for you to do on your own.
My approach to therapy integrates decades of professional work with my own personal experiences. I have developed empathy and understanding for how difficult life can be. I specialize in helping my clients not just get relief from painful emotional struggles—such as anxiety and depression—but also create lasting change in their most significant relationships.
Some of those I work with have been through traumatic experiences. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a specialized therapeutic approach well suited to working with current and past traumas and their consequences. EMDR therapy has provided many of my clients with rapid relief from debilitating symptoms.
I am a network provider for Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield of California, and Partnership-Beacon (Medi-Cal).
To accommodate work schedules, I offer some appointments after hours on weekdays as well as on weekends.
I work with adults, older adults, and parent/child pairs.
