I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in helping teens, adults, couples and families understand their struggles and mindfully navigate and cultivate well being. In our work together you will uncover what is already there, utilize you own internal resources, develop insights and gain strength/tools to overcome what is causing your pain. There are many sources of pain - trauma, conflict, anxiety, depression, emotional reactivity/desregulation and relationship struggles to name a few. Relationship are complex and healthy dynamics so difficult to manage. Setting an intentional approach and taking a mindful deep dive into your patterns creates a fabric for long lasting change possible. My approach is for us to work together in developing this deep understanding. I am trained in many modalities that I incorporate into our process. They include Coginitve Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, Somatic, Gestalt, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Relational Life Therapy. During our sessions we examine both the internal and external parts that keep you stuck and work toward insight and growth.
I have been practicing individual, couple and family therapy for over 25 years. My office is located in Hermosa Beach, California.
