Life can be challenging sometimes ... especially for those of us in the Bay Area. On the surface, everything seems great. Yet, many of us are stressed, overwhelmed, and irritable. This often comes from a deep sense of feeling unfulfilled, empty, helpless, and unsatisfied. As a result, our relationships may suffer and our jobs as parents can become especially difficult. That's where I come in. -- My passion is helping you understand what's holding you back ... and developing ways to help you live a more fulfilled, balanced, and harmonious life.

Are you struggling to make meaning of your life? Have you lost connection to your true nature? Perhaps you are no longer experiencing a sense of belonging? Therapy is a bridge that leads you to understand more about yourself and realize that you have choices and untapped resources within you. It can be difficult to call a therapist, however, I encourage you to take the first step to cross over that bridge. What waits on the other side is enhanced awareness of your relationships, insight into the roots of your problems, and ultimately a feeling of inner peace and harmony.

Hello and welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist, with over twenty years of experience in the field of mental health and therapy. I have spent many years working with professionals in the business and tech sector, as well as adolescents in the high school and university setting. I work with high-achieving, engaged clients who desire to strengthen their self-knowledge, improve their relationships and enhance their life. We focus on how to foster a growth mindset, improve self-care practices and clarify your unique life purpose, in order to live a value-oriented, joyful life.

If you or someone you care about are going through a difficult time and need help, guidance, and support, or feeling anxious, stuck, depressed, confused or lost, then give me a call. It is not always easy to ask for help and for what you need, particularly when you don't know the therapist and at times don't know what you need or can't put it into words. It takes courage and strength to make this first step and reach out to ask for help. I am a licensed, seasoned, compassionate psychotherapist, and I would be honored to work with you, so you don't have to do it all alone.

Have you ever felt like someone could help you lift up your life? Therapy is a shared process with you and me together to discuss your uncomfortable issues. I offer warmth and compassion to enhance your ability to make your own choices and take actions that are effective toward your goals. My approach is evidence-based and client-centered, and it is influenced by mindfulness, multicultural perspectives, and family systems. I carefully draw from the insights and techniques from psychological theories that I believe can effect change.

In the field over twenty five years, I offer an empathetic and compassionate approach. Life can test us from time to time and we all need some support. My passion is working with adolescents, adults, couples, children of divorce and those looking to adopt. I can, also, support you through a life transition which can bring up lots of confusing emotions, including depression and anxiety.

The heart of my work is compassion and curiosity. It is my goal to instill these into my clients. I believe each person is innately health seeking. Each of us can find our way off this healthy path for very important and powerful reasons. We work together to understand these reasons with deep compassion. With curiosity we look to discover ways to get back on the path to the healthiest self. I discovered over the past two decades that compassion allows us to move on and that with curiosity new choices emerge which can allow for deep, profound and lasting change.

I arrive at the intersection of compassion & collaboration as I respectfully guide my clients to explore new levels of awareness, self-empowerment, flow, & understanding. Working towards cognitive flexibility, wholeness, and healing. Using empathy & unconditional positive regard as a foundation, I may occasionally challenge you to bring forward awareness with a more direct approach. I welcome the motivation or perhaps ambivalence that comes along with seeking treatment. There is no perfection in the layers that define us, just a journey of experiences & lessons that await discovery, growth and honor.

My therapeutic approach to treating clients is individualized and eclectic, emphasizing strengths and encouraging self exploration as a means to discover solutions to issues brought to therapy. I believe that life is about relationships with self and others and that our desire to be loved, accepted and understood are some of the driving forces in how we interact with ourselves and others. I want to assist you in trying new approaches to the issues and relationships in your life and help you understand how your life experiences shape your world view. You have the answers; let's find solutions!
