My Approach to Helping

I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy, with a warm and non-judging approach, for people who are experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, post-traumatic stress, infertility, and people with pain andor chronic medical conditions. Sessions involve mostly talking therapy, and may also include (depending on your needs and interests): breathing & body sensation awareness practices; emotional regulation & distress tolerance training; simple yoga & meditation; compassion, acceptance, gratitude, and loving-kindness practices; and interactive guided imagery.

Psychotherapy, consultation, andor classes are available, depending on your preferences and needs. Sessions last 60 minutes. Supervision for clinical LCSW and MFT interns, and mentoring for MBSR instructors are also available on a limited basis.

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction and Mindful Self-Compassion programs: I teach courses, workshops, and lead Retreats for Apple Computer Inc., and have founded and taught programs for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, Google, Inc., Stanford University, and other clinics, corporations, schools and nonprofit organizations in the SF Bay Area since 2001.
