I am only providing telehealth video therapy to adults individually who reside in California and Idaho, also AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I have been working in the mental health field since 2010 and feel so grateful I get to connect and support people throughout their life journey. I use Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindful self compassion.

How I can help you
I help by walking aside you as you discover aspects of your behaviors that are not working for you (distraction, avoidance of emotional pain/ situations) and work together to find things that make you feel like you are living your values, even when it's hard... because it matters. I want you to look back when you are 80 years old thinking, I'm glad I had these life experiences and wasn't too afraid/ depressed/ avoidant to really live, love, connect, play, etc.
Typical first meeting
For our first meeting we will discuss the reasons you are seeking therapy, a bit about your history, and then address treatment goals. I tend to do an experiential exercise first or second meeting (mindful body scan, mindful self compassion, etc) tailored to what would be helpful to you, with your consent and willingness! We then discuss between session items to think about or work on (I am intentionally not saying "homework" here... think of it as building on what we discuss). Ideally you feel connected and heard and we start our work together!
What I specialize in
I specialize in anxiety and sexuality in order to support you in living a life of value and meaning. We will incorporate skills such as mindfulness, defusion, values based living, self compassion, along with humor and connection in our therapeutic relationship to support you reaching your goals.
