My clinical approach is multi-disciplinary and rooted in psychodynamic theory, existential psychology, mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally focused therapy (EFT). I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment.
My education and experience
Many women (especially in the fast-paced, competitive environment of the Bay Area) struggle to balance the multiple roles we have acquired. In doing so, we may consistently feel invalidated due to the expectations we place on ourselves andor external (partners, parents, family members, work, society) pressures. We may ignore andor begin to forget
If you've come to a crisis point in your life, it can make such a difference to talk with someone who can help you not only with your immediate concern, but with understanding what it can tell you about yourself. I have an exploratory approach -- listening for what you say but haven't yet heard and speaking up for what you allude to but ha
Congratulations on your search for more meaning, more health, more intimacy, or a more vibrant life! I have been a psychologist for over thirty years and am grateful every day to do this work.

LENS neurofeedback assists in restoring optimal brain health, while EMDR can aid in processing distressing memories. Somatic psychotherapy can help you become aware of how your body holds trauma, and assist
Many couples+ and individuals I work with are on the brink of expansion. Perhaps you are navigating new sexual interests, ethical non-monogamy, or dating for money. Maybe you've been polyamorous for years but are navigating the transition to include new partners into a shared household. Maybe it's time to explain it to the kids. Often there
When providing therapy, I take a flexible approach and adapt treatment to fit my patients’ needs. My training encompasses an array of methods, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), trauma-focused CBT, parent-child care, solution-focused therapy, family systems therapy, and career counseling. My cl
We all need a relational-home, a trusted other who can help us grasp our hopes, our fears, and our sense of self through the ups and downs in life.
The therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of psychotherapy. For treatment to be successful, you need a space where you can feel comfortable sharing more of what's happening on th
Our past relationships can leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves may be riddled with negative thoughts, shame, and low self-worth. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. Therapy can help us discover new perspectives that shape a new narrative, one where we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a m
