I am currently accepting new clients (updated August 2023). Life is extremely challenging at times! Often things turn out different that you had imagined. You feel overwhelmed. It is hard to get up in the morning or get through your day without fear or sadness. You may be struggling to complete tasks at work, maintain your home the way you would like, or have successful relationships. Whether you are facing a major life transition, experiencing anxiety, depression, or a relationship problem; I strive to provide the support you need.

"Thoughts turn into Words. Words turn into Actions. Actions turn into Character. Character is everything." To create a more joyful and meaningful life is a passion of mine. I work creatively and collaboratively with adults, teens, and children to explore the heart of the matter. Together we consider (investigate, examine, observe) symptoms and emotional pain; we design realistic goals; we develop skills to alleviate obstacles; and, as we work to achieve your dreams, we discover your increased motivation and self-confidence.

Did you know only 10% to 20% of marriages get better with traditional marriage counseling? Did you know that other studies show a 98% success rate? Do you know what you can do to be in the 98% group? Do you know why men often have to be dragged in by their ear, and what you can do about it? Did you know that relationships can improve even if only one person is doing the work, and that quite often it is better to work separately? Did you know that poor communication is a symptom, not the cause of marital stress?

Do you feel emotionally disconnected from your spouse? Do you long for deeper intimacy and reduced conflict? If so, you are not alone. It is easy to become disconnected from your partner for many reasons; work challenges, children and pressures of life in our busy Bay Area. My passion is to help couples move from disengagement to a deeper emotional bond, helping them increase understanding of self and other, and decrease conflict through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an attachment based therapy approach that has shown to help couples move from disconnection to flourishing.

I use a collaborative approach, taking the time to understand your needs, working towards you living an authentic life.

Ups and downs, highs and lows, suddenly sideways. Fighting then making up, breaking up and getting back together. Riding this relationship rollercoaster has you all twisted up, inside and out. Reeling with anxiety, walking on eggshells, questioning your every move, slugging through your days in constant worry about the next thing you’ll be berated for. Bending over backwards to please this person leaves you feeling helpless, hopeless, and invisible. The sleepless nights and stinging tears are slicing your heart and soul. This is not how you pictured your life. You know you must make a change.

Sometimes our lives can just be overwhelming. Are you struggling with a more recent change or stressful situation? Relationship, work, parenting, divorce, job/school or overall imbalance in your life? For some, there are long term factors that can be obstacles to relationship, employment and success in our lives. Depression, anxiety, addiction, weight and body issues, often only worsen. Getting support, new perspective and tools to deal with challenges can be life changing and a key for long term emotional wellness.

Often clients come into therapy with me when they are stuck in life, in a crisis, or in transition in a relationship or job or when emotions are just becoming too much to cope with. They want a change but are not always sure how to go about it. Taking the step to begin therapy is not easy for most people, but starting therapy often leads to a real opportunity to change, in ways that are not always expected. My style is warm, inviting and engaging, and I seek to connect to each person where they are at in life.

You are the expert of your life! Utilizing an "eclectic" approach, I will draw from an array of psychological orientations to help you recognize and move past obstacles standing between you and your contentment; which will enable you to experience more fulfilling relationships. I'm a "compassionate soul" with great listening skills, although my style is "active" and I frequently utilize Cognitive Behavioral tools and techniques to help you challenge your thinking, reduce your anxiety, and to encourage you to take advantage of the full spectrum of thinking and being.
