Life can be full of ups and downs. How we approach challenges defines who we are and who we want to be. The first step is to reach out. I am a licensed Psychologist with more than 20yrs. experience in assessments, evaluations, and psychotherapy. I help people who seek relief from dealing with life's challenges (e.g., anxiety, depression, stress, stress management, relationship difficulties, etc.) and life transitions. I also specialize in Medical Psychology and work with people who are struggling with health issues(e.g., adjusting to a medical diagnosis, managing an illness, chronic pain, coping with a loved one who suffers with an illness) and folks who are caregivers of people with health issues. Please contact me for a free phone consultation to discuss your specific situation and goals.

Have you been thinking of making changes in your life? Telling yourself that you want to make changes and improvements to your self care, but putting it off? Prioritizing other people's needs and wants ahead of your own? Need someone to talk to who is nonjudgmental and approachable? Someone with great clinical skills, but also with a warm, personable approach? You may have found the counselor who can suit your needs. Please give me a call today to find out more. The focus of my work is using evidence-based mindfulness-informed therapy techniques to assist my clients on their journey to recover from anxiety, substance abuse, addiction, and alcoholism. I also work with family members and others affected by their loved one's chronic illnesses and other caregivers. I would love to talk to you about how I can help you in your growth process. As your therapist, you will find me non-judgmental, genuine, and respectful of your unique wisdom and worth as a human being. If you feel that we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free phone consultation. In the meantime, take good care of you.

Whether you (or your partner) have been in therapy before or this is your first time trying to find the right therapist I'll be happy to spend some time on the phone with you to discuss your decision. If you've experienced difficulties in relationship, marriage or family; with loss, depression or anxiety you know how painful it is and how hard it can be for others to grasp. These painful feelings can respond to professional help. Throughout our time together I aim to fully understand your experience by listening without judgment, validating painful feelings and then helping you reach beyond what seems possible right now. Focusing on what is most important to you is essential to an effective counseling relationship, and a major factor in getting the most from your individual therapy, marriage therapy or couple counseling sessions. I have advanced training and extensive experience working with troubled couples, marriages and family relationships. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) and Supervisor for couples, individuals and families. EFT, developed by Dr. Sue Johnson, is a well researched approach that helps partners get to the root cause of what leaves them feeling tentative, distant, disconnected sexually, and alone- and to find a way back in to one another. It is effective therapy for couples who have experienced affairs or other betrayals. A good fit between client and therapist is highly important to the success of therapy- so I look forward to time with you to answer questions and discuss my approach prior to you scheduling an initial appointment. Our work together is discreet and confidential.

Has your addictive behavior gotten out of control? Has compulsive sexual behavior caused a crisis in your relationships? Or have you recently discovered that your partner sexual behavior was not once you thought it was and now your relationship is in free fall? If so I'm glad to connect with you and happy to help. As the founder and clinical director at Pathway Therapy Center, we specialize in helping individuals, partners, and couples dealing with sexual addiction and the impact that it causes Our approach involves three important components: helping you stop your addictive behavior, addressing underlying root issues and traumas, and empowering you to repair damage to relationships. I have received specialized training as a Certified Sexual Addiction Therapist (CSAT) and as a supervisor we have a team of trained staff to help address the needs of couples and families. If you would like help getting life back on track or are finally ready to deal with what has been a long standing issue we'd love to connect with you and get you and your relationship on the path to recovery.

I use an eclectic strategy to help you learn how to cope with challenging and difficult circumstances and personal experiences. Depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationships are difficult to manage by yourself. I provide an empathetic, private, and objective point of view and will guide you in developing coping strategies and a better understanding of your experiences. We will collaborate together to help liberate you from feeling helpless and alone. I provide a safe space for all to engage and explore their genuine sense of self and identity, explore their sense of purpose and emotional self-awareness.

Embody your truth. Embrace your passion. Follow your path. Working together to support your healing process and bring forward your own unique resiliency and self-expression. I use an experiential approach in counseling, where we follow the thoughts, feelings, emotions, and sensations that are occurring in the present moment as the window to explore deeper-held beliefs. Together, we find what is at the core of these beliefs and create new ways of understanding to bring forward an updated perspective that leads from your most authentic, empowered self. Through feeling ourselves, we can know ourselves, and through knowing ourselves, we have a greater capacity for self-acceptance and the empowerment to choose the life we want to live. Drawing from my training in the Hakomi Method of Mindful and Somatic Psychotherapy as well as psychodynamic theory, attachment theory, person-centered psychotherapy, and depth psychology, I use mindfulness, body-awareness, touch, movement, and dreamwork to help facilitate my client's process.

I have been a Psychologist and Marriage and Family Therapist for more than 25 years. I offer family, individual, marriage, and couples counseling. I specialize in anxiety, mood disorders, depression, and relationship and family conflict. I am licensed in Nevada and California.

I’m trained in psychodynamic therapy, where one seeks the causes and origins of suffering and works through them, healing and letting them go. In session, I use empathy and gentle, kind curiosity to discover and understand the origins of maladaptive behaviors and suffering to create new, adaptive, and rewarding ways of living. This approach results in clients feeling more relaxed and present, and increases their ability to make decisions that are aligned with their values. My style is warm, active, and goal-oriented. When clients first start therapy, I establish a strong relationship and comfortable environment where they feel safe and understood. Many of my clients come in to address life struggles, transitions, relationships, trauma histories, anxiety, and depression. I have advanced training and experience in treating trauma and can help with a variety of issues. I’ve worked with patients struggling with day-to-day life, career issues, relationship issues, healing from childhood physical, sexual and emotional abuse, or neglect, battling inter-generational trauma, parenting without parents, and other issues. Please feel free to give me a call to see if this might be a good fit for you.

Are you feeling lost, anxious, overwhelmed, or sad? Has life's meaning and vibrancy faded into the dull gray of depression? Periods of sadness are a normal part of life, but when the sadness lingers without improvement, it is time to take action. There is a message in your depression and an opportunity for a more fulfilling way of life. I can help you find your way through the fog, and strengthen you in your journey of healing and growth. I view depression and other emotional struggles as opportunities for growth and the psyche's way of helping us realize our fullest potential. For example, although the symptoms of depression or anxiety cause us discomfort, they also get our attention and challenge us to reflect on our life. At these times we can become more open to the voice and guidance of our deeper self, the soul, God. A ray of light breaks through the darkness offering hope and nourishment for our journey. If you would like to learn more about me or Jungian psychology, please visit my website or call me directly. I look forward to hearing from you.

My approach to therapy is deeply rooted in Gestalt and the Paradoxical Theory of Change which states: "Change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become something he is not." Anxiety and depression often show up when we are out of alignment with our truth and disconnected from what makes us feel alive. I work relationally to support my clients in reconnecting to who they are at their core and to help them discover unhealthy patterns and ways they may be holding themselves back from living a more authentic and heartfelt life and experiencing more meaningful relationships.

Whatever has brought you here, I've no doubt it's an opportunity to create something better. I can help you release old, painful patterns that go nowhere, so you can find the freedom to move forward with what matters most to you. You will find me to be an enthusiastic catalyst for you to be a game changer in your own life! You can rely on my 35 plus years of experience and my genuine, playful, compassionate and generous presence. You will get gentle and clear, inspiring feedback. Your concerns will be heard as you experience me actively engaged with what is most in your mind and heart. Whatever you bring, however broken you might feel, I see you as whole, no matter what you are dealing with. Our collaboration will invite new, enlivening choices for you. We'll work as collaborators for your best evolution.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I firmly believe that each person is unique with a distinct story which is impacted by various circumstances and people in their own lives. I work with adults on an individual level or in couple relationships, and also with adolescents with an array of concerns such as trauma, attachment, depression, anxiety, and issues of grief and loss, as well as concerns around life transitions, problematic relationships, and an inability to focus which hinders one's capacity to be happy and content. I am an African-American person of color and appreciate and value difference. I am trained extensively in cultural diversity and work efficiently with racial, gender and sexual identity, and "alternative" lifestyles.
