Online psychotherapy for adults in California
Therapy can be more than symptom relief. It can be a place to meet the patterns, dreams, wounds, and unlived parts of you—and to return to your life with greater choice.

The threshold is not an escape. It is an encounter.
The approach
You may arrive feeling anxious, disconnected from your own voice, caught in a relationship pattern, or unable to create the life you can almost imagine.
Our work makes room for both the life you are living and the deeper life moving beneath it. I listen for emotion, symbol, body, dream, and story—then help you translate insight into grounded change.
My style is calm, curious, and deeply relational. Therapy is collaborative: we move at a pace that respects your nervous system while staying close to what matters.
Ways we can work
For the vigilance, self-doubt, codependent patterns, and identity shifts that make it difficult to feel fully present in your own life.
Boundaries, attachment patterns, self-trust, emotional regulation, transitions, and the difference between caring for others and disappearing into them.
For experiences that continue to live in the body—even when the thinking mind understands that the danger has passed.
Traumatic memories, protective responses, shame, grief, somatic signals, and new experiences of safety and agency.
For artists, seekers, and anyone sensing that a more truthful life is trying to emerge through image, symbol, or creative longing.
Dream images, creative blocks, spirituality, the shadow, life purpose, imagination, and the voice beneath habitual self-criticism.
The process
We begin with what is most alive, painful, confusing, or persistent right now. You do not need a polished explanation.
We notice recurring patterns and the emotional, bodily, relational, and symbolic language carrying them.
Insight becomes meaningful when it creates more freedom: a boundary, a pause, a fuller voice, or a different relationship with yourself.
“The work is not to become someone else. It is to become more fully present to the life that is already yours.”
