About
Many of the psychological issues that we have affect our general health. It is important to understand that there is a mind/body connection when struggling with problems in our relationships, stress, grief and loss. Having a the space to talk about the issues in your life, including a place for your family to connect and or to find a group that may help you process through difficult times in your life can be found through therapy.
I provide a unique style of counseling which focuses on health psychology. I can help you find a path to working with your health behavior changes , to assist in reducing your stress or anxiety, and helping you find relief in the mind/body connection.
Letting go is the first step, embracing change follows....
I'm a psychotherapist with an emphasis in health psychology. I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a BA in Political Science, with an focus in law and peace studies. After working for several years in both corporate and non profits , I then obtained my Masters of Counseling Psychology at Santa Clara University in 2015. I studied health psychology where I focused my counseling skills with those who are suffering from stress, a recent change in general health, grief and loss , and love and relationships. I have worked in community based mental health clinics, and hospital settings. I focused my research and counseling skills specifically with our veterans community who are suffering from post war issues and also the complexities of integrating back to civilian life. I work with new and innovative ways to treat PTSD using humor, expressive arts , and mind/body work such as yoga. I'm a volunteer for the Soldiers Project which is a non profit that helps support post 911 vets and their families.
Another part of my practice is Mindfulness. I believe that Mindfulness is a way to help reduce anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, eating disorders, and substance abuse disorders. Mindfulness can be practiced alone or in a group. I believe it is nourishment to the soul, and can help with coping with a recent health change such as a diagnosis of cancer, diabetes or chronic pain.
I take a holistic approach to therapy , and outsource to body work healers as well as functional medicine to help with your journey through therapy. Welcome to my practice.

Great feedback. Would like faster response time.
