No one belongs here more than you.”

Over the past 15 years, I have found skills and art practices to help calm, inspire, and enjoy life more. My psychotherapy practice is online and I am licensed throughout the state of California.
I am certified as a Perinatal Mental Health Provider (PMH-C). I have fifteen years of experience helping patients to recover from moderate to severe mood symptoms and to more creatively participate in their lives.
Anxiety helps motivate us, but too much anxiety can hinder us in many areas of life. You’ll practice skills to calm and better understand worries.
Do you lay awake at night, ruminating about mistakes or worrying about the future? You’ll work through strategies for nourishing sleep.
Do you feel distant from friends and family? Does self-doubt get in the way of making requests or setting boundaries? You’ll learn tools for effective self-expression.
As a parent or parent-to-be, you are more vulnerable to overwhelming emotions and self-criticism. In this time of adjustment, there is so much possibility. Let’s tap into your strengths.
