I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Santa Cruz, California, and have a general practice, working with clients on a wide range of issues. Some of the areas I focus on are:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Grief and loss
• Life transitions
• Relationship issues
• LGBT issues, including coming out and dealing with families
• Cross- and multicultural issues, including biculturation and acculturation
• Addictions
• Sexual abuse
• Pregnancy and postpartum issues
• Illness
• Job and career changes and problems
• Feeling discouraged and disconnected

I enjoy working with adolescents and adults, both individually and in families and couples, and with people from all cultural backgrounds. Students and psychotherapy trainees and interns welcome!
