For the person navigating concerns related to alcohol or drug use, compulsive patterns, cravings, relapse, emotional distress, relationship strain, or the impact of substance use on daily functioning.

Treatment focuses on understanding the role substances or addictive behaviors may be playing in your life, identifying triggers and patterns, strengthening coping and relapse-prevention skills, improving emotional regulation, and supporting healthier decision-making.

Therapy is individualized, trauma-informed, and designed to support meaningful and sustainable change.

For the person who wants to understand their anger, respond more effectively, and regain control before emotions take over.

Anger is a normal emotion, but when it leads to impulsive reactions, conflict, aggression, or difficulty communicating, therapy can help.

Anger management focuses on identifying triggers, recognizing early warning signs, improving emotional regulation, and building healthier communication and coping skills.

Treatment may integrate CBT, DBT, mindfulness, psychoeducation, and practical strategies to help you respond with greater awareness, control, and intention.

Anger Management services are available through secure telehealth throughout California and Alaska.

For clients who want to better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—and create meaningful change.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, understand how they influence emotions and behaviors, and develop healthier, more balanced ways of responding.

CBT is not about ignoring difficult emotions or forcing positive thinking. It is about learning to examine thoughts with curiosity, challenge patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and respond with greater intention.

My approach is individualized and practical. Together, we may work on coping skills, cognitive restructuring, emotional regulation, problem-solving, and strategies that can be applied in everyday life.

CBT may be helpful for concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism, life transitions, and other emotional or behavioral challenges.

CBT services are available through secure telehealth for clients throughout California and Alaska.

For couples seeking stronger communication, deeper connection, and healthier relationship patterns.

Couples therapy provides a supportive space to address communication challenges, conflict, trust concerns, emotional disconnection, boundaries, intimacy, life transitions, and the impact of past experiences on the relationship.

I provide affirming care with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ and queer relationships, including identity, coming out, family acceptance, chosen family, minority stress, and relationship dynamics.

Therapy is collaborative and focuses on the relationship rather than identifying one partner as “the problem.” Treatment may include communication skills, conflict resolution, emotion regulation, boundary-setting, trust repair, and psychoeducation.

For clients who feel like their emotions make decisions before they have the chance to.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach that helps individuals better understand intense emotions, reduce impulsive reactions, and build practical skills for managing stress, relationships, and everyday challenges.

As a DBT-trained clinician, I integrate DBT into individualized treatment with adolescents, young adults, and adults. Treatment is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand your emotions while learning how to respond with greater balance and intention.

DBT focuses on four core areas:

• Mindfulness — Staying present without judgment.

• Distress Tolerance — Managing difficult moments without making them worse.

• Emotion Regulation — Understanding and responding to emotions more effectively.

• Interpersonal Effectiveness — Strengthening communication, boundaries, and relationships.

The goal is not to eliminate difficult emotions. It is to help you understand them, manage them, and make choices that align with the life you want to build.

DBT services are available through secure telehealth for clients throughout California and Alaska.

For clients who desire to integrate faith, spirituality, or religious experiences into the healing process.

Faith-based counseling provides a supportive space to explore emotional concerns while also making room for the beliefs, values, traditions, and spiritual experiences that are meaningful to you.

Rather than separating faith from mental health, therapy can help clients understand how spirituality may influence coping, identity, relationships, decision-making, grief, forgiveness, purpose, life transitions, and emotional wellness.

I also provide affirming support for clients who may be experiencing spiritual conflict, religious hurt, changes in belief, questions about identity, or tension between personal values and the expectations of family, community, or faith traditions.

Treatment may integrate CBT, ACT, DBT-informed strategies, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychoeducation, and other evidence-informed approaches alongside faith or spiritual practices when requested by the client.

The goal is to provide clinically grounded therapy that honors the whole person while allowing faith and spirituality to become a meaningful part of healing when desired.

Faith-based counseling is available through secure telehealth in California and Alaska. Faith integration is always client-led and is never required as part of treatment.

For families who love one another deeply but feel stuck in patterns they no longer know how to change.

Family therapy provides a supportive space to address conflict, communication difficulties, parenting challenges, behavioral concerns, trauma, mental health conditions, and major life transitions.

Rather than identifying one person as “the problem,” therapy focuses on understanding family patterns, strengthening communication, improving connection, and developing healthier ways of responding to one another.

I also provide affirming support for families with LGBTQ+ adolescents and adults, including support around identity, family acceptance, boundaries, communication, and relational strain.

Treatment may integrate family systems principles, CBT, DBT, trauma-informed care, psychoeducation, emotion regulation, and practical communication strategies.

Psychiatric stabilization and aftercare therapy supports individuals transitioning from psychiatric hospitalization, crisis care, or a higher level of treatment back into everyday life.

For athletes who want support managing the mental and emotional demands that come with competition, performance, and life beyond the game.

Sports Performance Therapy supports athletes navigating performance anxiety, confidence, motivation, pressure, perfectionism, emotional regulation, injury-related stress, team dynamics, and the challenge of balancing athletics with school, work, relationships, and everyday life.

Therapy focuses on strengthening mental resilience, healthy coping skills, concentration, confidence, communication, and the ability to manage setbacks and high-pressure situations without losing sight of overall well-being.

I also provide space for athletes to explore identity beyond their sport, including concerns related to self-worth, transitions, injury recovery, changing roles, burnout, and the emotional impact of expectations from coaches, teammates, family, and themselves.

Treatment may integrate CBT, ACT, DBT-informed strategies, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused therapy, psychoeducation, emotion regulation, and practical performance-based coping strategies.

The goal is to help athletes build the mental skills needed to perform with greater confidence, respond to pressure more effectively, and maintain a healthier relationship with both their sport and themselves.
