Your Trusted Mental Health Therapist in California
As a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals, couples, and teens overcome life's challenges through mindfulness-based therapy. My practice combines interactive, non-traditional techniques with humor and compassion to address anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and self-identity concerns. I hold a Master's Degree in Social Work from the University of Connecticut and completed specialized training at Yale University's Department of Psychiatry. My background includes directing mental health programs for underserved populations and developing mindfulness practices that empower clients to stay present and cultivate self-compassion.I work with diverse clients across California through virtual sessions, offering personalized support tailored to each individual's unique needs. My approach emphasizes collaboration, accountability, and creating a safe space where clients feel heard and understood. With expertise in treating perfectionism, chronic pain, and LGBTQIA+ issues, I help clients break free from negative patterns and rediscover their inherent worth. My practice integrates lessons from a lifetime of working with artists, politicians, and diverse communities to foster personal growth and meaningful connections.

Services
Individual Therapy
Interactive therapy sessions address anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues through mindfulness techniques and compassionate dialogue. Clients develop tools to overcome perfectionism, manage chronic pain, and cultivate self-acceptance. Sessions focus on breaking negative thought patterns while fostering personal growth and emotional resilience.
Couples Therapy
Virtual sessions help couples rebuild communication, address trust issues, and resolve conflicts through structured dialogue. We explore relationship patterns, improve intimacy, and determine whether to strengthen or reevaluate the partnership using non-judgmental, solution-focused approaches.
Teen Therapy
Specialized virtual counseling addresses teen anxiety, identity exploration, and family communication challenges. Sessions provide safe spaces for self-expression while developing coping strategies for school stress, social media pressures, and relationship dynamics with parents and peers.
Mindfulness Coaching
Guided mindfulness training helps clients reduce anxiety through present-moment awareness techniques. We develop personalized practices to combat 'monkey mind' patterns, improve emotional regulation, and cultivate self-compassion for lasting mental wellness.
LGBTQIA+ Therapy
Tailored therapy supports LGBTQIA+ individuals navigating identity exploration, relationship challenges, and societal pressures. Sessions provide safe, affirming spaces to discuss gender expression, sexual orientation, and unique mental health needs with culturally competent care.
