Would you like to find your way back to joy and your authentic Self? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, health issues, co-dependency, or is your life not working out the way you would like? At my cozy, serene, oak tree canopied ranch in central Woodside, I offer both equine facilitated psychotherapy (EFP) and standard in-office psychotherapy for older children, teens and adults.

I provide a safe and secluded confidential space to help you process difficulties, identify and stop negative patterns, improve your communication skills and enrich your relationships. Additionally, I specialize in providing hope for clients and helping them obtain personal balance in their lives, so that they can be genuinely happy. My goal is for every client to achieve his or her full potential for a productive and happy life. In each session, there is a collaborative effort to understand and process relationship issues and personal challenges, to nurture growth and to learn new communication and coping skills.

Human Nature has adapted, grown and embraced change throughout our history. As a child, adult, or couple in a relationship, you can explore tools to meet your specific needs. By identifying old triggers and tapes, you can let go of what you have outgrown. Your previous strengths can carry you from who you have been, to who you choose to be. With this old resilience, you can allow change and expand your experiences. You can step forward toward a new vision of you. Choose a "do-over". Learn to accept your changes with self compassion and a renewed curiosity for self expression. Move from resistance to acceptance to simple joys.

I'm so glad you found your way here. Seeking treatment is an indication of being ready for change and having a new experience of life. I'm an insight oriented therapist meaning I assist clients in illuminating their inner workings and wounds that have created struggles in their lives. I work at a level of healing and empowering with the intention to offer guidance rather than to instruct. You are the expert of your life. Together we take a look at what needs to be addressed and resolved then move into recognizing one's own strengths, value, and worth. This allows individuals to move into greater appreciation and acceptance of self.

I work mainly with adults and couples suffering from the effects of childhood emotional neglect, physical, and sexual abuse. I help individuals and couples separate from their Childhood wounds that prevent them from being successful in their present life and relationships. I use the tools of psycho-education; hypnotherapy; imagery; anger release therapy; chair work; personality testing; career testing; journaling; as well as group therapy to enable individuals and couples to accomplish their goals.

Do you want to feel better about your self and improve your relationships with others? My approach is grounded in Humanistic/Existential psychology and incorporates Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness-based techniques. Combining these approaches, the goal is to create a non-judgmental "curious" understanding about your emotions and yourself as a whole. It is my hope that you find acceptance for your emotions and all parts of yourself. We will also identify reactive thoughts and behaviors and replace them with intentional responses. Through intentional living, you can create and live a life that is meaningful with profound connections to others.

My approach is based on principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, a mindfulness-based behavioral approach that has been empirically-validated to be effective across a wide range of diagnoses, age groups and cultural backgrounds. I enjoy working with tweens/teens, individual adults, parents and families struggling with challenges related to parent-child issues, ADHD, grief, transgender, adoption, spirituality and acculturation. I also have a passion for working with women, including first-time mothers and mothers dealing with post-partum depression.

Greetings...I have been a licensed therapist since 1987 and specialize in working with men, women and couples. I have been facilitating men's groups since the early 90's in my Redwood City office. My work is grounded in my deep understanding of the human experience and how we want to better understand ourselves and each other. Many of us lack some of the skills to accomplish this. I see myself as an experienced, wise and compassionate guide helping others navigate and master emotional challenges. Let me join you for a time on your life's journey.

Therapy can be one of the most challenging experiences for individuals and families; you sit in a room and begin sharing thoughts and feelings with a person you don’t know. Shame, regret, relationship issues are some of the many reasons people experience stress in their lives. At times, this stress can become so overwhelming it starts to impair our daily lives. For others, it easy to mask those issues around family, peers and/or coworkers; but when we are alone those obstacles are still with us. Whether this is your first-time trying therapy or you have seen multiple professionals, I'm here to embark on this journey with you.
