I love working with teens, families, and couples, especially those navigating the challenges of parenthood and the identity shifts that change brings. I am passionate about supporting moms through the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum and working with anyone who is navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship concerns.

I am passionate about supporting moms through the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum and working with anyone who is navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, life transitions, and relationship concerns.
I work with sensitive children, teens and young adults who struggle with expressing themselves, experience anxiety and depression, and have difficulties in voicing their needs in relationships with family and friends and school. Many clients I work with can begin to miss out and avoid opportunities for growth and may experience fear and lack confidence to take chances and try new things. In my approach, I strive to provide a relaxed and judgment free zone for clients to build up their ability to express themselves, develop an understanding of their wants and needs, and begin to participate in life more with new found confidence.

Sometimes it may feel like no one truly understands what you are going through. Maybe you feel like you are stuck in a revolving door of thoughts, feelings or actions that continually block you from getting where you want to go. Maybe the stresses and realities of our current world leave you feeling eroded and hopeless. You may have tried therapy, but still don’t feel like you have all the tools you need to handle the stresses of daily life. Are you tired of feeling powerless to lead the kind of life you envision for yourself?

At some point we all struggle to adjustment to life's changes; it's normal to feel stuck and I believe people have what it takes to adjust. For the past 20 years, I have been working with children and teens who are struggling to balance the demands of school and their social life. I integrate parents in my work as much as possible. I also work with adults and Couples often come to me for help in distress and are confused about how or why their relationship has derailed. I am dedicated to helping people build stronger; more intimate relationships and I use several modalities when attempting to help couples in distress.

You have always been a high achiever at work. At home, you are the rock of your family. Everyone always looks to you for help. You take care of everybody around you, but you always neglect yourself. Maybe because you’re keeping busy to avoid having to deal with your past hurtful experiences. You feel lost and lonely despite having people around you. No one knows about your struggles. But now you’ve reached a breaking point. Your anxiety is out of control, and it is affecting your work and personal life. You are ready to stop that infinite loop that keeps replaying. It’s time to take care of you. It is now time to find healing.

I completed my doctoral training in the UCSF Dept. of Psychiatry working primarily with trauma survivors. Within that setting our standards of care were very high & I maintain that standard in my practice. My patients felt confused, irritated, exhausted & hopeless, worrying that their lives would never improve. I imagine that you do as well. With perspective & compassion I will help you make sense of your experiences, reducing the degree to which you blame yourself & helping you use your strengths to create a much more satisfying life.
