Telehealth therapy available
Therapy is currently offered via a secure Telehealth platform to clients residing in California.
- Telehealth therapy allows you to receive treatment from the comfort of your own home or place of your choosing. This can often make it more accessible for people who otherwise might not have time to travel to an office or be within a reasonable distance to travel to a therapist.
- It is important to note that sessions can only take place while you are physically in California.
- Please have a quiet and private space to join sessions from.
- Please refrain from joining sessions while driving
Pregnancy & Postpartum Therapy
You may be recently pregnant or have just had your baby. You expected to feel happy and full of joy but perhaps your experience is much more distressing than you anticipated. It is not uncommon to feel weepy, anxious, have intrusive thoughts, have difficulty bonding with your baby and feel lost during this time. This isn't talked about very often so you may be feeling like you're the only one. You are not. Pregnant and postpartum moms who reach out for help find their symptoms reduce, they feel hopeful again and learn how to navigate this time with a clear plan. I have specialized training in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders
Individual Therapy for Women's Issues
Are you struggling to manage anxiety or depression? Are you finding it difficult to balance your work and family life? Is it hard to find fulfillment in your relationships? In individual therapy we work together to identify better ways of coping with your daily stressors.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy. It is a form of therapy that helps you heal from trauma. It has been researched and proven effective for alleviating symptoms related to past trauma.
From EMDRIA.ORG
"After the therapist and client agree that EMDR therapy is a good fit, and begin to work together, the client will be asked to focus on a specific event. Attention will be given to a negative image, belief, and body feeling related to this event, and then to a positive belief that would indicate the issue was resolved. While the client focuses on the upsetting event, the therapist will begin sets of side-to-side eye movements, sounds, or taps. The client will be guided to notice what comes to mind after each set. They may experience shifts in insight or changes in images, feelings, or beliefs regarding the event. The client has full control to stop the therapist at any point, if needed. The sets of eye movements, sounds, or taps are repeated until the event becomes less disturbing."
A typical EMDR therapy session lasts 75 minutes.

Couples Therapy
Has your marriage or relationship felt like more work and less fun lately? Are you feeling more disconnected than ever before? Perhaps you are new parents and feel like your relationship is taking a back seat to the new baby and you aren't sure how to find your way back to each other. Most relationships experience a decrease in satisfaction as times goes on or with the addition of a baby. You don’t have to settle for this new normal. You can strengthen your relationship and learn better ways of resolving conflicts as they arise. I utilize the Gottman Method which is a research based model of couples therapy that is highly effective.
