I am a strength-based Clinical Therapist whose goal is to walk with you through therapy to increase your own self-warmth, hope, insight and healing. I believe that addiction or mental health issues are just a small piece of the multi-faceted jigsaw puzzle of who you are. Both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts are from Santa Clara University, where my basketball jersey is retired as I hold the "All Time Men and Women's Rebounding Record". I believe that athletics were the genesis of my relentless positivity, embracement of strengths, and belief in the perseverance of the human heart.

As a caring & experienced psychotherapist, I listen carefully & respond honestly in person or by phone, FaceTime, zoom, Skype. Parental neglect or abuse leaves us with low self esteem, unresolved hurts & insufficient coping skills. Self criticism leads to painful and negative beliefs that cause depression and anxiety. We begin with the formative events in your life & your current issues. By drawing on family systems & psychodynamic principles, I use the latest interpersonal, cognitive & behavioral techniques with an informal and collaborative therapeutic approach that leads you toward greater self understanding & positive steps.

We all experience life’s challenges as part of the human condition, yet sometimes our symptoms of stress, worry, or self-criticism stand in the way of living the life that we want. Working with a clinician can help you reconnect with yourself and your strengths. Therapy often helps us to make useful connections between our actions, our thinking, our emotional reality, and patterns in relationships that we have developed over years. When we understand ourselves better, we can put into practice useful tools and coping skills to tackle problems that once defeated us.
