Don’t Just Fix What’s Wrong – Embrace What’s Right
Embrace Your Self
Psychotherapy for me, both as a client and as a therapist, is a continuous opening to the astonishing reality of existence. It is the gift of being human and being able to see it all and make sense of it all. It is the never-ceasing process of learning to stop splitting between “good” and “evil” and just enjoying life as it is: complex.

Psychotherapy, Counseling & Coaching in California
I’ve provided interactive talk-therapy treatment for developmental trauma, anxiety, depression, & stress management since 2010 by offering a special blend of science (seeking facts), philosophy (the language of reason), symbolism (the language of emotions), humor (the language of paradox) & storytelling (the language of creation) in movies and the arts. Together, we will set future goals that are embedded in your strengths and values to grow toward your ideals, while transforming and healing emotional wounds that are holding you back.

Therapy, counseling, or coaching isn’t a luxury—it’s an investment in freeing your spirit from burdening misconceptions and self-doubt. Your goals are noble, but your actions may not fully support them. Like any good investment, the returns are significant: personal fulfillment, meaningful connections, and the strategies to present your true self to the world – and perhaps increased income, just because you can.
When you embrace your talents and help others, you claim your space in the world. We all thrive by supporting one another. Whether we’re therapists, cashiers, bankers, plumbers, CEOs, artists, or else, we benefit from inter-dependence. None of us succeeds in isolation. To succeed in life, you invest money, time, and effort.
… and You may be…

Affirming Therapy for the LGBTQ+ Community
Coaching Worldwide
Everyone deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationship structure. While many in the LGBTQ+ community struggle to find truly affirming therapists, my practice offers a clear commitment: you are seen, heard, and valued for exactly who you are.
I’ve had the privilege of supporting many Queer individuals through anxiety, depression, and various personal and gender-related challenges. Although I do not specialize in these areas, I want to be explicit: I accept same-sex or poly relationships, and integrate intersectional experiences. Your worth is not defined by your sexual identity or orientation.
If you’re seeking a therapist in California who deeply respects and affirms your identity, I welcome you. You deserve care that honors every facet of who you are.

A Safe & Supportive Space for the LGBTQ+ Community
As a psychotherapist, I believe that everyone deserves compassionate, nonjudgmental support—regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, or relationship structure. Unfortunately, many individuals in the LGBTQ+ community still struggle to find therapists who fully accept and affirm their experiences. I want to be clear: in my practice, you are seen, heard, and valued for who you are.
I have had the privilege of working with many people in the LGBTQ+ community, helping them navigate anxiety, depression, and a variety of personal and gender-related challenges. While I do not specialize in gender identity or issues of sexual orientation, I fully support equal rights and recognize the unique struggles that come with living in a society that often fails to affirm diverse identities.
Some therapists still reject same-sex and poly relationships or dismiss intersectional experiences—I do not. I firmly believe that a person’s worth is not defined by their sexual identity or orientation, and I strive to create a space where clients feel completely accepted and supported.
If you are looking for a therapist who will respect and affirm your identity without hesitation, I welcome you. You deserve to be heard, and you deserve care that honors all aspects of who you are.
