I specialize in working with gifted and highly sensitive teens and adults to navigate histories of complex trauma and chart authentic, new expressions of creativity and desire. I bring respect and attention to each moment of our work together, where my aim as a psychoanalytic therapist is to listen to your life in an unheard way, so you can open a space for deep-rooted transformation. My background as an artist and meditation teacher gently informs our work together - how I listen to the grammar of your anguish, the details of your dreams that we will explore.

I'm a Trauma therapist also specializing in attachment/relationships. I have a deep understanding of how our past affects our present and where patterns come from. Taking time to unpack them (getting to the "why?") is a crucial step to breaking free and living the life you want - something I know that you are truly capable of. If old unwanted patterns keep showing up, if you don't understand why you are doing things you're doing, if you're having relationship issues, wanting to get into a healthy relationship, or would like to be free of the anxiety and/or trauma that has held you back, I can help.

I have great compassion for the human struggle and I don't want you to feel alone with it.... It's far easier with another person who cares and understands. I've spent my whole life studying psychology: Formally, at Stanford (BA), at UC Berkeley (MA, PhD), and ongoing Continuing Education; informally, from colleagues, clients, and 20+ years in private practice. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I'm open, empathic, authentic, interested and interactive. I like helping people with relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, grief, self-criticism, social inhibitions, and emotional trauma, abuse, or neglect.

I believe that our pasts shape who we are but don't determine who we become. Inherent in all of us is a desire to heal old wounds and learn from our experiences. Therapy is an opportunity to examine and change the way you feel about yourself, to engage more fully in your relationships and to decide what is possible in your life and career. Therapy allows us to make peace with the past so that we can live more fully in the present.

My approach is behavioral and goal oriented. I focus on identifying new coping strategies and changing behavioral patterns that damage relationships. I assist clients in identifying deeply held values and taking behavioral steps towards getting closer to these values. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral techniques to help clients who struggle with relationship problems, depression, anxiety, OCD, and mood disorders. I help clients identify particular core beliefs that act as barriers to values-based behavior and explore alternative coping behaviors to utilize when one's schemas are triggered in relationships. Particular methods I incorporate in treatment include mindfulness, cognitive defusion, exposure, and Nonviolent communication.
