The best way to determine if someone is the right therapist for you is to not only review their information but also talk with them. So, I invite you to review my information and call me for a free telephone consultation. My work focuses on adults who are experiencing problems in their personal or professional lives. My areas of specialization include the treatment of depression, anxiety, and stress; relationship issues; life transition issues, such as divorce, loss, and changes in health and employment; and career-related issues. I also offer some limited corporate consulting services.

I'm a psychologist based in the Silicon Valley and work with a diverse range of clients from technology executives to teens.

Talking with one another can help you finding a more quiet space within yourself. If you are struggling with depression and sadness, anxieties and worries, insecurities and troubled relationships, psychotherapy can be a place from where you can travel, explore, and listen to the sound between the lines. I invite you to embark on this voyage that gently and steadily benefits yourself and your relationships with those around you. Therapy can help you develop understanding and acceptance of overwhelming and conflicting life events. Finding your way through life's maze can finally be one of your most wonderful achievements.

I use a strength-based approach to foster genuine self-acceptance & to support clients in finding meaning. My philosophy centers around building & harnessing connections between the body, emotions, thoughts & behaviors to create healing & growth. This is an active, evidence-based approach that addresses the whole person. Treatment is uniquely individualized & with over a decade of clinical experience, I am competent in helping clients to not only heal but to make real gains. This can involve setting/tracking measurable goals for therapy to help guide our work and offer insight into obstacles along the way.

Therapy is a form of self care and truly can be a gift you give yourself, or a loved one. I believe in therapy that focuses on growth and healing, human connection, perseverance and perspective. I have a true passion for helping individuals find and harness their inner strength. My style is very open and warm and I care deeply about each of my clients. I am flexible and will work with you to meet your individual needs and explore your thoughts and feelings. My clinical interests include working with adolescents, young adults, adults, and families with a range of emotional, behavioral, and social needs.

The burning question: "Should I be concerned by my child's behavior, lack of communication, or new friends... or is this just a phase"? There are many variables as to why children/adolescents begin acting differently and sometimes this is just a natural progression in your child becoming their own individual. However, other times these are warning signs that something problematic is involved and you are correct to be concerned.

The Bay Area provides a very unique set of challenges for children and families to navigate. As a clinician with over 15 years of direct private practice work I feel uniquely qualified to help adolescents and their families work through these issues. I take a holistic and comprehensive approach to each individual and their family and form a compassionate relationship focused on measurable progress and change.

Most people benefit from having a trusted and trained professional to confide in and collaborate with - to make changes, deal with emotional pain, and search for understanding and meaning. Humans are complex beings and life is full of challenges. We all create "protective measures" to help us cope with difficulties we have encountered. Unconscious relational patterns, expectations, and beliefs about ourselves and others develop. Unfortunately, many of these ways of being interfere with creating satisfying lives and relationships. Our habituated patterns can be constricting, or lead to troubling behaviors or symptoms.

For over 24 years, I've collaborated with people to resolve their psychological trauma, phobias, anxiety & stress as well as maximize responses to their medical diagnoses, treatments & conditions. This clinical focus stems from both a personal medical challenge since age 12 and research on treating women with breast cancer and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet Kaiser research (1998) finding 70% of primary care visits are driven by mental, emotional and relational issues highlights how mind and body are interwoven for each of us. This interplay provides leverage for preventive medicine, for responding to illness and for maximizing peak performance.

I am a licensed psychologist (PSY29383) providing teletherapy in the state of California. My areas of specialty include the treatment of anxiety, mood, and stress-related concerns, with particular expertise in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, the mental health of high-performance athletes, and reproductive/perinatal mental health. My therapeutic stance can be described as warm, nonjudgmental, collaborative, and genuine. My goals as a therapist are to know you, help make sense of what you’re going through, relieve distress, and help you live a more content and values-driven life.

I specialize in treating "anything anxiety related" with teens and adults. If I had to use one word to describe what I do, it would be helping people get "unstuck". I am direct, collaborative and at times playful with my clients. I care deeply for my clients and will be there with them every step of the way while they are on their journey. Specialties include generalized anxiety disorder, OCD, panic disorder, trauma, disordered eating and eating disorders.

In addition to my private practice, I hold a Clinical Associate Professorship at Stanford University where I’m able to wear research, teaching, and supervisory hats.

I provide trauma-informed individual and couple-based therapy for various issues including eating disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, obsessive and compulsive disorder, transitions, & relationship concerns.

Finding a good fit with a behavioral health practitioner can be invaluable. Psychotherapy and neuropsychological evaluation are an investment of time, energy, and resources. Our work together may mean identifying a problem, finding steps to move forward, gaining awareness and understanding, managing a new situation, or any number of different things for different people. My experience includes work with patients and their family members and clinical research. My past work and training affiliations include: Stanford, UCSF Memory and Aging Center, Palo Alto and Menlo Park VA's, Kaiser Permanente, Kingsbrook Medical Center in Brooklyn, New York, and the University of Colorado Hospital.

As a therapist, I want to work with people to help them to get unstuck. There are a lot of different ways one can be stuck, physically (pain), emotionally, socially, professionally, with a substance and many others. Like spinning your tires when stuck in the mud. It is the wrong thing to do, but it is the easiest thing to try when you are alone. Getting unstuck most times requires some help. That is where therapy can come in handy. Please contact me for a brief consultation to see if I can be the right person to help you.

Are you experiencing a crisis? Anxious? Having problems sleeping? Not sure what to do but know something needs to be done and quick? I would like to help you feel better. Almost twenty years in private practice have provided me with a wide range of experience in stabilizing crises and developing treatment plans to meet your goals. Typically, I draw from psychodynamic, family systems, and cognitive behavioral theories and work primarily with adults and adolescents. It is of the utmost importance to me to offer an emotionally safe space, where you can know with certainty that you can be yourself without fear of judgment.

For parents, when your child is struggling - academically, socially, or emotionally - having a partner can make all the difference.
