Children and families today are facing unprecedented stressors and complexities that can lead to conflict, anxiety and depression. However, timely responsive intervention can build resilience; enhance family wellbeing; and support healthy development. I work with children from birth through adolescence both individually or within their caregiving relationships to recognize inherent strengths and to develop new skills needed to cope with challenges when they arise . I also provide family therapy, parent consultation and support, and consultation to schools.

In working together, I will help you identify themes and patterns of feeling and thinking that create barriers to having healthy relationships and preventing you from living life to your fullest potential. I emphasize meeting you where you are at and expanding in ways that are attuned to your needs and your experiences in your social context. I aim for a therapeutic relationship that allows for an experience of respect and equal engagement that is crucial to the foundation of change and exploration.

Parenting is one of the most challenging and complex journeys we will ever embark on in life. Children are a gift, but they do not come with instruction manuals. If you are a parent that is struggling with challenging behavior from your child, I can help. From creating more structure in the home, setting expectations and boundaries, to changing the way you have dialogue with your child. Using positive behavior supports and simple behavioral strategies can make a huge difference. In addition to parent education, I also provide assistance with social skills, behavior reduction, functional communication, and executive functioning.

Are you deciding to try therapy for the first time, or considering a return to this work in a new phase of life? This leap, whether for you, or for your relationship, can be incredibly vulnerable. Healing + change require personal commitment, and trust in the therapist you choose to guide you through the process of re-patterning. The Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, and Integrative Coaching I provide is insightful, proactive, and inspirational. I will support you to more fully connect with yourself, and more deeply in your relationships. When you are grounded, and your relationships are solid, your work in the world will be meaningful.

Are you a parent looking for support for your young child, family, marriage, or relationship? Are you a parent/caregiver who is not sure if your child is showing signs of anxiety, stress, depression, or behavioral challenges? Or maybe you, your partner, or your relationship is needing some support. If so, I would love to help!

Experiencing anxiety, fear, anger, and sadness is a natural part of being human. How you respond to these emotions is what makes all the difference and can dictate whether you sink and struggle or thrive and grow. Amazingly, it is by facing and bringing love to what you wish you could 'get rid of' that allows parts of you to transform and metabolize into the power and grace you long to feel. My job is to help you navigate this journey and learn the skills to be your own captain; to help you see how much choice you actually have.

We believe in everyone should be given access to the resources to set them for success. Many people with ADHD have been suffering from low work performance and strained relationships with coworkers. There’s even the potential of getting fired from work without knowing they have a mental disorder. That’s where we think Done can help and change one’s life in a meaningful way.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20+ years of mental health experience. I work with children, adults, older adults couples, and families. I have a wealth of diverse experience which includes mood / anxiety disorders, substance disorders (chronic alcoholism and eating disorders), and providing couples and family treatment. I specialize in trauma and relationships. Healing is often a hard and painful process, but it also can be joyful and lead to a more fulfilling life and improved relationships. I would be honored to accompany you on your journey towards happiness, acceptance, greater intimacy, peace, and recovery.

People usually seek me out because they’re having trouble managing some combination of stress, depression, and relationship issues. Sometimes, after a little digging, I discover that many of these same people have quietly endured trauma—life-altering tragedies like child abuse, emotional neglect, or sexual violence. Others underestimate the traumatic impact of emotional abuse, bullying, or navigating the challenges of social inequity and prejudice. This layering of traumas big and small is known as complex trauma.

As a therapist, I promise not to give you advice, tell you what to do, pretend to know more about you than you do. As a therapist I promise to sincerely listen, to empower you, help you figure it out, believe in you.

Therapy is your journey. If you invite me to walk along beside you, I will offer to you my best critical thinking, understanding, compassion and theoretical knowledge based on 20 years of working in this field. I am adept at pointing out signposts, synchronicities, other paths and directions that you may not have noticed along the way. Sometimes we need another set of eyes to tell us when we are just about to step in something gooey and stinky. And other times we need help getting it off the bottoms of our shoes so that we can continue onward.

I trust that people come to therapy seeking a more authentic happiness; and I work as best as I can to help clients let go of concepts and mistaken views of themselves that have led to more pain and confusion. I work with individuals, couples, children and families, bringing warmth and understanding to the relationships and life problems that surround us. Sometimes the first call is the most difficult. I am often available to speak briefly or will return your call as soon as possible, making the next steps and new perspectives possible.

Hi, I'm glad you're here. I wonder if you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Maybe it feels like there’s something wrong with you that other people don’t seem to struggle with. I wonder if relationships feel hard for you and if doing things like asking someone out on a date, applying for a job, asking for help when you need it or setting boundaries with people feel really scary or impossible to do? Maybe you’re looking to better understand these parts of yourself and to find ways to make changes to these areas of your life. If so, I might be able to help.

I'm a clinical psychologist in private practice, Berkeley-certified executive coach, the 2020 CPA convention chair, president of the California Psychological Association, past president of the San Francisco Psychological Association, and the chairperson of the clinical advisory board at I V Y Labs.

I aspire to draw from all my experiences to help you live with passion and move beyond obstacles that are holding you back

Life used to be easier! Perhaps you feel stuck in your relationships and you are not getting along with the people you see daily. Issues in life can be overwhelming and full of challenges. I begin by meeting you at your place of growth or healing, and whether trauma, abuse, grieving, recovery or life issues, we work together to overcome them. There is hope. Let me help you reach the goals and connections you deserve. With sensitivity and compassion, we work to determine what might be blocking your full potential and your feelings.

Major stressors bringing you down? Feeling overwhelmed, unproductive, or isolated? Learn how to interrupt racing thoughts, relax under pressure, and bring joy back in your life. What if therapy could help you feel like yourself again? You can regain your energy, manage irritability, and connect with people more easily. It's okay to set boundaries, prioritize yourself, and make space to figure out what you want and need. Together, we can address what doesn't seem right in your job, life, or business and develop custom tools and strategies to help you reach your goals.

I have over 30 years of experience, working with both adolescents and adults. I am dedicated to supporting you in finding clarity and direction, so that you can thrive in the life you want. As a licensed psychotherapist and professional coach, you may come in to see me for problems with your relationship, work, family, mood, health or addictive behavior. I can help you get back on track, creating and achieving your goals!

How do you wish to engage in life? Are you getting what you want? Are you getting too much of what you don’t want? We average 6,200 (mostly negative) thoughts a day. Are you wishing for more loving relationships, good will, affection and purpose in your life? Pain rolls through our lives and understandably we wish to avoid it. We often deflect pain but inevitably it returns. Our habitual behaviors take root over many years, often initially helpful but later in life constrict us. I offer an approach to notice how you incur distress by turning toward what you wish to avoid with a sense of curiosity and care.
