Are you dealing with a life transition, chronic illness, caregiver stress, recent loss or struggling with unhealthy habits? Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused or depressed? Are you feeling burnt-out or out of balance? As a Health Psychologist my approach integrates mind, body and spirit. I offer a warm, non-judgemental setting to explore what values are most important to you, what keeps you from honoring your values and taking good care of yourself. Together we will develop strategies to get your life back on track. I offer in-person appointments in San Anselmo or video appointments for residents anywhere in California.

I have a passion for supporting clients through transformative periods of their lives. Some are seeking to heal from past traumas, move on from a relationship or career, or let go of old habits that are no longer serving them. Some are going through a profound, yet challenging, spiritual process. Though our work I will help you reinvent and step closer to your true self. I enjoy working with adults, teens and children. The adults I work with often have a sense they are on the verge of stepping into something greater and more meaningful in life.

It shouldn’t be a big deal. People seem to be able to handle stuff like that with no issues. But somehow, that memory is stuck in your mind and just won’t go away. It might not seem very serious or traumatic, but you think about that experience over and over. It plays like a skipping record in your mind. It may have been something painful that affects your everyday life - overwhelming you. Or something that’s been impacting you for a while now, sapping your energy, and you don’t want to lose sleep over it anymore. You’re tired of this repeating pattern and are ready to do something about it!

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, looking to improve their lives, reduce anxiety and depression, let go of old patterns of behaviors and improve their relationships. My approach is warm, supportive, compassionate, but direct. Therapy is a healing and exploratory process that necessitates participation, honesty & vulnerability. It requires work. But if your goals include making purposeful change to self-defeating behaviors and to be crystal clear with who you are and what you want, we can make life-altering changes together.

Are you looking to change stubborn patterns or heal old wounds? Perhaps you would like to feel more connected with others and to yourself? However challenges show up in your life – maybe as depression, grief and loss, addictive patterns, anxiety, the impact of trauma, relationship struggles - there is always the potential for healing and growth waiting to be accessed. If the light in the tunnel seems dim or nonexistent, I’d like to offer you the torch that deep therapeutic inquiry has to offer.

I specialize in serving GIFTED PROFESSIONAL AND CREATIVE ADULTS AND COUPLES. Being gifted is a minority experience, which is hard to own or talk about due to cultural (mis)attributions of elitism and arrogance, so many gifted people have not explored this aspect of their identity and how this may be related to difficulties in their life. You may feel out of step with the world or misunderstood, and not know why, or that you have to hide aspects of yourself. Or have trouble making friends, be told you’re "too intense", feel socially awkward, not understand why others seem to respond negatively to your ideas, or feel deeply disappointed with the world’s imperfections. IN MY OFFICE, YOU CAN BE UNRESERVEDLY YOURSELF. Talking frankly about being gifted can improve your self-esteem and offer relief from self-doubt, loneliness, anxiety, or depression, as you develop strategies to meet the majority culture more effectively. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked for 25 years in startups, nonprofits, academia, and F500 companies. I hold a Stanford MBA and Berkeley MSEE, and have special training in assisting gifted clients. I've also published research on the creative process.

I received my PsyD in Clinical Child and Family Psychology and have worked in outpatient settings treating individuals of all ages struggling to navigate difficult transitions, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral difficulties, and relationship struggles. In practice, I have found it critical to be able to draw upon multiple theoretical frameworks to inform treatment that is a good fit for each individual. I use narrative and attachment theories as the basis for treatment conceptualization and work to help patients to identify internal strengths that lead to lasting change.

Welcome. If you have found yourself here you are probably looking for relief. My passion and experience focuses around helping others find clarity and balance. We each have different histories, needs, patterns of thinking, and struggles. All of us develop strategies of protecting ourselves that have been useful in the past but have become outdated. It's important that we move toward ways that currently work; that help guide us toward the most peace and happiness possible. Guiding individuals toward getting to know, accept, and thrive in one's own self and in relationship is something I am dedicated to.

Online Therapists
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialized therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
