I work with individual adults and couples to address anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, sexuality, social anxiety, and spirituality. I specialize in EMDR, creative expression, authentic movement, mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Clients I see want to improve their inner and outer worlds, have happy and satisfying relationships with themselves and others, and learn more about themselves in order to feel more love, happiness, joy, and fulfillment in their lives. I accept and embrace individuals exactly as they are, while also challenging them to consider new perspectives and behaviors.

With the Coronavirus bearing down on us, quarantines in place, and restrictions in travel, you may be feeling anxious, depressed, confused. I am here to help, to be with you during this upheaval.

Could you use help with your relationships or family issues? Perhaps stress and anxiety are getting in the way of your living a happier life.

Bay Area Health Psychology is a group practice (see our website); I am the Director. I specialize in Clinical Health Psychology to assist people with chronic medical conditions, anxiety, and depression to manage their health and treatment.

Biofeedback and EMDR are available in our clinic. I also offer Couples/Marital Therapy based on a "dynamic interaction" model developed during my research at UCLA.

Chances are, you are more compassionate towards other people than you are to yourself. Having an internal critic who is constantly beating you up inside can lead to anxiety, low mood, and relationship problems. As my clients develop greater kindness towards themselves, they see amazing changes in many aspects of their lives. I also specialize in working with people who have the HSP trait (Highly Sensitive Person). I have that trait myself, which gives me a deeper understanding of your strengths and challenges.

My goal is to help you discover what keeps you from feeling satisfied with your life, your work, your relationships or your self and then resolve it. For each problem, we will uncover the root cause, evaluate solutions and implement positive changes. Whether you are feeling the difficulties of being a child, a spouse, a parent, an employee or struggling with your own internal conflicts, I will help you gain clarity, strength and confidence to improve the quality of your life.

I have been in practice for more than 25 years, focusing my work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples.

When coping styles or life experiences challenge our ability to navigate the world, we often need a guide to help get a different perspective and learn new skills. Chronic distressful emotions/stress, burnout, negative inner dialogue, communication and relationship problems, problematic conflict styles, unmet needs/desires, trauma symptoms, and other difficulties lead to emotional distress and disease. Decode your emotions, manage stress/anxiety, cultivate wisdom, move from depression to finding your passion, resolve grief/trauma and help reclaim your joy, transform unhealthy habits, improve relationships while focusing on what's meaningful for a lifetime of self-awareness and acceptance.

My private psychotherapy practice was built to serve individuals and couples in the San Francisco Bay Area. Through life we are faced with a range of stressors from natural transitions to abrupt grief and tragedy. It is normal to find ourselves at a loss with overwhelming emotions and to be in a position of needing support from a licensed and compassionate clinician. At the heart of my work, I aim to help you turn a season of challenge into an opportunity for character transformation.

I believe change is rooted in making the unconscious conscious. Rather than just treat the symptoms you may be struggling with, I enjoy journeying deeper with you, trying to understand the root of the issue. As you grow to understand your mind, you will begin to make more mindful, intentional life choices, toward a more satisfying life.

Trying to find the balance between over-parenting and under-parenting can sometimes feel impossible. Doing the right thing for your child, for yourself, and your family can be elusive. With over thirty years of experience at Stanford University coaching students and in private practice coaching parents, high school, and college students, I work with individuals and small groups to guide them through the process of clarifying relationships and expectations. Individual and small group sessions are available.

Are you unhappy in your primary relationship? Have you suffered the loss of a love? Are addictions (yours or your partners) hurting you and the people you love? Would you like to have a more fulfilling sexual relationship with your partner? I have been helping couples increase emotional and physical intimacy for over 20 years. I take a directive approach to helping couples communicate more effectively. Often they find this results in more frequent supportive and loving interactions. Therapy can help you become more empowered in all your relationships. This often results in being more productive at work as well.

When your life is painful and you have worries that overwhelm you, it helps to speak with someone who can help you experience your life and relationships from a new perspective. You and I will collaborate to bring about shifts in thoughts and feelings that can promote a more creative engagement with life, better connections with the people around you, and the ability to make better choices. I have over 20 years experience in treating the depression and anxiety that come from ways of being and thinking that have become damaging.

Does your teenager appear to be struggling with big emotions and uncharacteristic behavior and you and your partner don’t know how to help? Do you feel disconnected from yourself, your partner and your teen? Has there been a communication breakdown in the family and your usual tools to maintain closeness are not working? I understand that sometimes even the strongest families and relationships get shaken up by unexpected feelings and intense situations that their kids go through.

I strive to facilitate a dialogue that both empowers and engages clients in their own self-healing, valuing the co-creation of a transformative narrative and experience. As a licensed clinical psychologist, experienced in treating both children and adults, I view emotional and behavioral challenges as a dynamic outcome that develops as a result of complex interactions across time, as opposed to something inherently "broken" inside an individual.
