"I specialize in working with people who feel anxious or depressed, struggle with relationships, career, self-esteem or are going through a life transition. I will support you and help you gain a better understanding of yourself so you can overcome the challenges you face. Together we will identify the obstacles that are preventing you from living a life you love in a nonjudgemental atmosphere so that you feel safe enough to explore."

"Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck, and know you need to make some changes? Our mental, emotional and physical health are all linked together.When one or more of these is out of balance, the quality of our life is affected. I provide a unique setting that is safe, supportive and accepting. I help my clients to gain new perspectives of themselves and new tools to address problematic issues of thoughts, beliefs and behaviors. Some of the issues I treat are anxiety, depression, relationship issues, as well as coping with medical issues, pain and chronic illness."

"I believe the relationships with those we care about -family members, friends, co-workers, and romantic partners - form a significant portion, even a majority, of our lifelong happiness and sense of fulfillment. Our relationship experiences influence our self-perception, confidence, and feelings of security. Many of us seek therapy because we have difficulty identifying, understanding, or coping with our own (and significant others') emotional experiences, and we feel unequipped to communicate our feelings and needs to the important people in our lives."

"Feel anxious, stressed, irritated or tired? I am a board-certified clinical psychologist with 16+ years of experience working with adults and youths in a variety of service settings in Bay Area. I conduct in-depth mental health assessments, Psychodiagnostic Testing, Psychotherapy (Mindfulness, Cognitive-behavior, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Trauma Therapy), and Consultation. I help you be free from suffering, increase happiness and maximize your potential. My working style is holistic, integrative, compassionate, individualized, and problem-solving."

"Depression can make you forget who you truly are. Chronic self-doubt and sadness can cause you to feel hopeless and negatively impact your goals, relationships, and overall well-being. You might notice your favorite activities have become unenjoyable, and everyday tasks you used to accomplish with ease, start to feel impossible. Feeling increasingly sensitive, irritable, and isolated, are all ways that depression can get in the way of you being your true self. My goal is to help you overcome depression, and gain a renewed sense of hope about the wonderful life you are capable of living. "

"Therapy is a way to help you more deeply understand yourself and gain perspective to take steps toward a more satisfying life. A good match between therapist and client is essential to personal growth and healing. I provide a safe and collaborative space for you to openly express yourself and explore the issues that are affecting you. With honesty and warmth, I will help you build the awareness necessary to move toward your goals and learn the skills you'll need to navigate, and find meaning in, inevitable challenges."

"Professionals of San Francisco and beyond: You don't have to do this alone. Setbacks at work and the occasional panic attack can be motivators for change. What makes it feel so bad is the isolation and shame you might feel for having these very human experiences. If you feel it's time to do things differently -to get support when you need it most-then contact me today."

"Are you feeling like things aren't working out the way you want them to? Do you find that anxiety or depression are stopping you from your goals? I am a Stanford educated clinical psychologist. I provide brief, solution-focused interventions combined with an interactive and positive style in order to decrease anxiety and fear, improve your mood, and help you to make your life more effective and enjoyable. Incorporating a variety of cognitive behavioral techniques, we will work together to overcome the issues and challenges getting in the way of you living your life and achieving your goals."

"You are determined, smart and used to navigating challenges but this time the "sh*t hit the fan" and it's not working. Normally you could handle this yourself or push the worry away but bigger questions are arising and you are left feeling stuck, lost in ambivalence, confusion, imposter syndrome and anxiety. You feel like your dreams and what you have worked for are slipping away and it's impacting your life & relationships. This may be triggering lots of painful or scary feelings, memories from your past or the idea that now is the time to make real change."

"I work on two levels. As a Licensed clinical neuropsychologist I treat DSM-5 diagnoses with Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral, and Rogerian client-centered counseling and therapy. I test for mild cognitive impairment and AD/HD. I am board certified in NeuroBiofeedback, and quantitative EEG. Clients develop a more powerful sense of relaxed self-esteem and an effective understanding of how to manage life traumas and stress more effectively. My book "Psychophysiological Medicine and Type A Executive Stress" describes Neurofeedback research outcomes with 30 cardiac patients. In 2015. I published a chapter in "The Encyclopedia of Mental Health 2nd. Edn". (Elsevier) on Neurofeedback and Biofeedback."

"Hello - I am passionate in working with adults to find their best selves and address any underlying relationship or anxiety issues. I believe that therapy works best as a collaborative process - I work with you to create the goals that are meaningful to you in a way that is individually tailored to your needs. I am always open to client feedback! If you struggle with stress, self esteem, anger or family of origin issues I could also be the therapist for you. Please contact me for a free phone consultation :)"

"Have you been feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed and alone? Do you find that your mind and emotions control you? Are you stuck in repetitive patterns? I work with people who are suffering with these symptoms and I have 17 years' experience treating depression, addictions, anxiety and eating disorders. I have a background in art and have a warm, engaging (rather than silent) style of interacting. My experience includes work at 2 eating disorder centers, Mental Health Assessor for University of California, SF, graduate psychology professor, crisis work for Mental Health Association of NYC and supervision of psychotherapy interns."

"Relationships are as important to us as food and water. They can strengthen us, like a vitamin, or weaken us, like the flu. You are only as good in relationships as the relationships you have been in. As your therapist I can assist you in many ways. I can help you learn more about yourself, increase both self-compassion and compassion for others, and heal past trauma. Together, we can explore how to feel more connected to yourself, your values, and people you care about."

"Chances are you could be feeling and performing better than you are right now. Most people are struggling with stress and pain from life events like past traumas and regrets, life transitions, challenging relationships, grief, loneliness, finances and more. Stress over time takes away from your mental and physical quality of life. Through counseling, we can work together to move you towards your best you."

"To everyone around you, it looks like you've "got it together." But deep inside, you feel like an impostor. You've had difficult experiences that still hurt, but you pretend like you feel OK. You appear to be happy, confident, and successful. Secretly, you feel unworthy, afraid, broken, or sad. You'd like to be more authentic, but you worry about what would happen if other people knew the "real" you or the challenges you've been through. So you put on an act. Sometimes, you wonder if you've spent so much time faking it that you've lost sight of your true self altogether."

"When we reach out, we have done everything we can to mitigate our suffering. We loose our direction, doubt our choices, and our identity is in question. I specialize in shifting and reawakening our creative resources towards healing, while listening to our body/soul/mind that is longing to be heard. After nearly 40 years as a depth psychotherapist I work intuitively for what each individual needs for their journey. Often we have been exposed to relational trauma and real life events. I encourage that we discover our resilience, strength, courage and our true purpose for being on the planet."

"I help individuals and couples who want a safe place to tell their story and want to learn better ways to respond to the challenges in their life. Some of the issues I have worked with the most are trauma, work stress, anxiety, family squabbles, addictive behaviors, depression, creativity, and health challenges. While accessing inner strengths and support systems, it becomes easier to find the courage to delve a little deeper, heal some old wounds, and upgrade our behavior and coping skills. I welcome clients who are dealing with challenges related to age, ethnicity, gender, class, or sexual orientation."

"I have worked as a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist for over 25 years. I work with individuals and couples with a broad range of psychological and relationship problems. I very much enjoy the sociocultural diversity of the Bay Area and my psychotherapy practice reflects this diversity. Helping people maximize their individual potential is a never-ending source of satisfaction. I have special interests in relationship issues, women's issues, cultural concerns, and health-related problems. I also enjoy helping people find a balance between the demands of work, self, spirit and family."

"I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with children, adolescents, adults and couples. My style is warm, inviting and reflective. I utilize an integrative approach to psychotherapy, drawing from psychodynamic, family systems, social justice and mindfulness-based approaches."

"My therapeutic approach is client centered, which means we work collaboratively to resolve presenting issues, identify strengths and develop effective coping strategies. I believe in working efficiently, to restore a sense of well being and quality of life. To this end you will experience me as attentive, interactive and responsive to you in sessions. I hold a deep respect for those seeking to engage in therapy; for their courage, vulnerability and commitment to improve their lives. Together we can create a safe and compassionate space for exploration, discovery, understanding and healing."
