You seem fine on the outside, but inside you feel you are not good enough, a failure, never enough. You want to be able to go through the day without feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed or all on your own. You're your own worst critic. You don't want to need alcohol or pot or comfort food to cope. You want to be able to handle your emotions better. You're wondering if life will ever get better, or if this is as good as it gets. Deep down, you feel guilty or ashamed. Social events may be difficult for you. Maybe you've been through a trauma (abuse, car accident, relationship breakup, etc.) and are having trouble moving on.

When a client initiates therapy, we begin a journey together that involves getting curious. Problems are like puzzles and sometimes we don’t even feel like we have all the right pieces. It can feel overwhelming. You might be feeling lonely, isolated or confused. I appreciate the courage it takes to make that first call, but that often is the hardest step. I like laying out the steps and plans for you to feel stronger and clearer.

The ideal client is MOTIVATED and realizes there is a need for CHANGE starting with one's self. Sometimes we just need that push in the right direction; a new set of eyes; that guidance to the answers that's already within. If that's what your're looking for, then you've found the right person! Are you struggling with your daily activities? Not feeling like yourself? Filled with constant worry? Just know you are not alone. Often times, life gets the best of us and we're bombarded with stress and life's constant demands. Let me help you to gain the tools to reduce those stressors and get back to enjoying life.

I specialize in sport psychology and mental performance. I believe that in life we are always performing and sport is just one aspect. My work is process-oriented and easily accessible. The intention is that you can leave the office and apply what we processed into your daily life. Together we work to unfold the unhealthy and many times, the unconscious patterns, that inhibit you from reaching your goals and aspirations. We also reflect on your strengths. You may want to feel a certain way or you may want to actually attain tangible things in your life. When we access your authentic self everything is available to you.

Over 22 years working with teens.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist providing evidence-based practices. When I'm not in private practice, I'm working at UCSF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences treating children, adolescents, and their families. Living in the Bay Area has many advantages and opportunities that motivate us to become the best, most successful version of ourselves. At times, occupational and social demands can bring overwhelming amounts of stress, pressure, and anxiety. I'm currently focusing my practice for families and couples as well as young professionals and athletes who have experienced trauma and/or high stress.

I enjoy helping adult clients manage mood disorders, clarify career and life ambitions, and navigate critical transition periods. Additionally, I work with couples to help them better understand one another and improve their overall relationship, as well as more effectively manage relational conflicts and tensions. Lastly, I offer executive coaching services. It can be lonely and hard to get feedback at the top. Executive coaching provides the support of a confidant and sounding board, while creating an action plan towards further self-development.

I have a passion for helping individuals shake their unhelpful thought patterns, find a sense of clarity and help them to see how malleable and flexible their brain really is. Through my own journey suffering from a serious car accident and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), I understood quickly the impact that expertise and connection have when people are struggling with medical and mental health issues. And the impact microcurrent neuro feedback can have.

I believe that early in life we develop ways to cope with difficult experiences and environmental situations that we couldn’t control and throughout life those cope mechanisms become reinforced. For many of us there comes a point where some of the ways that we learned to exist in the world no longer adaptively serve us. This is often a time we find ourselves in therapy. I want to help you gain insight into those patterns and develop new ways of being in order to make positive changes. These changes often come from both evidence-based tools and deeper reflections.
