I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, and Certified Gestalt Therapist with Adults, Children, and Adolescents.
The relationship you have with your therapist is the biggest factor contributing to positive outcomes in therapy. Establishing a relationship built on mutual trust and respect is the first step in the journey towards health. I work with children and adults to establish this relationship from the very beginning. My goal is to create an experience for children and adults that allows you to connect with your sense of self and who you are, express those feelings and needs that are often hidden away, and realize the potential for growth inside each of us.

I am trained in a variety of evidence-based practices to treat adults, pregnant/ postpartum women, and children 0-12.
As a therapist, my primary goal is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment where they can process stressors and life experiences, working collaboratively towards achieving their life goals. No matter what the challenges at hand, I believe people have the ability to "reinvent" themselves and begin to be more fully present in their life's journey. I feel honored to accompany my clients in this journey of discovery, hope and healing. I have extensive experience working with individuals with a variety of clinical presentations and/or those wanting support in promoting positive change in their lives.

Independently, your child will find a space here where they can process their needs in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

I was trained in Kaiser’s Department of Psychiatry for Children and Families and SFSU’s Guardian’s Scholar Program working with emancipated youth.
Family is one of the most beautiful and important aspects of our lives. Navigating childhood and adolescence can be overwhelming, frustrating, challenging and confusing, at times. I use a strength-based approach through Integrative therapeutic modalities to build insight, self-esteem, confidence, balanced life, build connections and help find a client’s voice. I also help children and teens identify triggers, explore coping skills, learn self-advocacy, goal setting and how to live a healthier, happier life. I believe that a healthy family is at the core of well-adjusted happy children. I offer both individual and family therapy.

As such, I work with children, adults, and couples to help them set and achieve manageable, and personally meaningful goals.
Relationships are a fact of life. We all live in relation to each other as spouses, children, parents & friends. Even in the best of these relationships, inevitably, problems occur. Often, we are able to resolve problems on our own. However, there are times when the help of an expert in relationships, such as a Marriage and Family Therapist, is needed to: *improve communications, *increase understanding in relationships, *resolve conflicts, *improve parenting skills,*relieve stress, depression, anxiety,*strengthen the bonds of relationships & gain a better understanding of one another.

I dynamically engage with children and adolescents through art.
I believe passionately that we can change and that genuine lasting transformation needs to happen at the level of our thinking, our feelings and our behaviors. Through my training in psychotherapy, art therapy and mindfulness I seek to actively give understanding, tools and resources to help you reach your goals. I offer a safe, nurturing and non judgmental environment. I also propose a unique at home service.

I offer psychotherapy for adults and couples, infant/ child-parent psychotherapy, play therapy, and parent guidance.
I approach therapy by building a relationship where you feel able to explore all aspects of yourself, and your concerns, through experiencing me as warm, curious, empathic and authentic. Our life experiences, together with our neurobiology, cultural background, identities and life stage, all lead us to become who we are, but may not lead us to become who we wish to be. We may be in pain, experiencing anxiety; life may feel unsatisfying or stuck, and more. Psychotherapy offers an opportunity to make changes in our lives and relationships, so we can feel relief from pain, and so we feel more alive.

I see adults, children, pre-teens, and families.
There will be instances when you feel "stuck" or experience suffering. The time is now to invest in yourself. Guidance from a professional outside of the current situation may provide necessary support to alleviate distress and find your path with a more informed perspective. I offer a warm and safe environment in which to explore areas of concern and strength. With over two decades of experience, I have treated issues not limited to: anxiety, co-dependency, recovery, life transitions, chronic illness, abuse, childhood disorders, divorce, co-parenting, and depression.

I worked in the school setting with children struggling with ADHD, ASD, and unruly behaviors.
It is my passion to help inspire people to become who they can be. I believe is really does not matter where we come from, but who we want to become as people.

An emotionally healthy grandparent, mother, father, child or adolescent. The sky is the limit from a successful, balanced, and gifted entrepreneur to getting sober and back on track from some of life's tragedies. Let's Do This!

Having trained in child and adolescent agencies I have extensive experience in the challenges facing parents especially in today's society.
It is my therapeutic goal to provide a thoughtful, individualistic approach to each client. I believe that utilizing a variety of clinical skills allows me to fit an approach to each client rather fitting the client to a theoretical construct. I understand therapy to be a means to delineate that which is not gratifying in your life and determine the changes necessary to allow your life to blossom. I look forward to supporting and guiding you through this process as it can be a challenging as well as exciting journey.

For children, play and art are a vital part of the therapy process.
The search for a therapist often begins at the point when the pain and struggle outweigh the capacity to cope on your own. Whether the search for a therapist is for yourself or your child, to work on a specific challenge or to work through years of challenges, finding relief from the pain and struggle and a path for growth is often the end goal. My intention is to function as a compassionate guide to find the answers within you, perhaps buried under stress and trauma responses which allowed you to survive to this point in your journey.
