_You are the hero of your own story._- J

Each person’s journey into therapy is a unique act of courage. I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in California and Nevada, and saw my first therapy client in 2004. I have been privileged to work with countless courageous people since that time.

I work with individuals in various stages of life and career transitions, stressed college students, people dealing with LGBT, gender identity, and coming out issues, creative writers and artists, and successful professionals overwhelmed with a busy life. I have witnessed firsthand how anyone can cultivate a sense of serenity even in the midst of major external uncertainty. With the right practical psychological tools, it's possible to bring a sense of enjoyment back into the routines of daily life. It's not always easy, but it is possible.

By learning to intentionally monitor and align our thoughts and behaviors, our emotions calm. We come into balance. Through increased awareness and intention, we heal old hurts and begin experiencing more peace. We start moving in the direction of our most heartfelt dreams and intentions.

I view modern psychotherapy as a sacred art that is grounded in the ancient healing and storytelling traditions found throughout the world. Being with another person as they bloom into the full authenticity of who they truly are is one of the great joys of my life. I’d be honored to accompany you on your own unique therapy journey.
