"I believe that therapy is a gift that a person can give themself. It is a journey that enables a person to join with me to figure out what may be getting in the way of living their best life. Starting therapy takes courage. I have 24 years of experience working in this field. I believe that each of us deserves to live our best life and that working with me, people come to new places of self-acceptance, forgiveness, self-awareness, resiliency and can go on to realize more of their hopes and dreams."

"I am a Clinical Psychologist and Board Certified Clinical Neuropsychologist in private practice in San Francisco. I provide consultation and conduct psychological assessment and neuropsychological assessment with individuals suffering from trauma due to accidents, injuries, illness, captivity and torture, loss of loved ones, and loss of limb, as well as mild through severe traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions. I have a background in directing the neuropsychology services of inpatient, outpatient, and day treatment brain injury and pain programs. I provide testimony in arbitrations, depositions, and trials in civil cases."

"Beginning therapy is similar to finally summoning the courage to open wide the door of that overwhelmingly packed closet in your home. While this task can seem daunting at first, the company of a non-judgmental guide can make the undertaking manageable and even rewarding. As this guide, I will support you in taking inventory of what you've kept hidden away for years, possibly due to shame, fear, anxiety, grief or the uncertainty of how to move past old habits. You will develop resilience through listening to your inner wisdom, resourcing self support and expanding your capacity for joy."

"I offer a warm, supportive, interactive and non-judgmental atmosphere in which to help you deal with issues that are troubling you. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, job and career concerns, substance abuse, or the problems of life's inevitable twists, turns and stresses, my 30 years of clinical experience provide a depth of understanding to help you facilitate the changes you want to make. I work with individuals and couples with a wide variety of problems that affect their relationships, functioning and growth."

"I have more than 20 years experience working with individuals and couples in short term and in longer term in depth psychotherapy. My clients struggle with depression, anxiety, loneliness, relationship challenges, questions around life direction, life purpose, personal identity. Often they report feeling "stuck," frustrated in their creative expression or in their ability to change or move forward in their lives. I try to look at each individual's strengths (ask how we can build upon those), and also look at where a person is getting in his or her own way."

"I see children, adolescents, and adults in individual therapy who are struggling with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, life cycle challenges, and trauma. At times the way people try to cope with and manage their past or present difficulties create additional barriers to feeling good, and fulfilling their hopes and goals. As a conscientious, professional, and compassionate clinician, I strive to provide a therapeutic relationship in which together we can think about, understand and help you work through those feelings and thoughts that are troubling, confusing and worrisome, and are perhaps getting in your way."

"My practice is dedicated to supporting parents and caregivers with infants and young children. I offer brief parent consultation and ongoing psychotherapy for parent-child relationship problems, concerns about early childhood development, attachment, emotional regulation, pre and postpartum depression and anxiety, traumatic stress, and couple issues related to parenting. Parents in my practice also benefit from having a space to explore how their own upbringing has impacted their parenting choices and responses."

"Psychotherapy can be helpful when you are struggling with something specific, or when you are feeling concerned about where your life is going in general. There may be patterns that you tend to repeat and wish to change. Common concerns include relationships, career, family, creativity, addictions, anxiety, depression, and childhood trauma. Through therapy, a deeper understanding and experience of yourself develops, which opens the door to other choices and possibilities."

"Beginning therapy is not easy. Examining one's difficulties requires courage and resolve. Feelings of reluctance and apprehension are common and understandable. But, therapy is a long-term investment in yourself and in your desire to live a fuller, more satisfying life. I work with clients struggling with sadness, depression, anxiety, loss, anger, grief, loneliness, and isolation. Other areas of specialty in my practice include relationship and communication issues, early childhood and adult trauma, domestic abuse, life transitions, including employment transitions, parental and sibling relationships, eating and body image concerns, and self-awareness and self-care."

"I am a very experienced therapist working with individuals and couples in a safe, supportive environment. After a few sessions, patients report gaining an understanding of their conflicts and how to solve them. My approach is interactive in which people are treated according to their unique circumstances and personal history. This allows people to overcome the obstacles to resolving their conflicts so they may resume growth. Those who feel stuck in unsatisfying relationships or careers, have difficult family relationships,procrastinate, are indecisive, doubt their talents, and who protect others at their own expense will find this therapy very helpful."

"If you're struggling with the discomfort of anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, burnt-out, or giving more than you are getting in your relationships, these are signs telling you it's time for a change. I work with clients that want to shift painful patterns such co-dependency, self-criticism, difficulty with intimate relationships, or a high stress lifesyle."

"Welcome! I offer short-term and long-term models of psychotherapy for individual adults of all ages and walks of life. I work with a wide range of people who come to therapy for different reasons wether it be symptoms of mood dysregulation such as anxiety or depression, issues related childhood or adult trauma, relationship challenges, dealing with a chronic health condition, a major loss or life transition, or wether it is simply for personal growth and healing. Regardless of the reason that calls a person to seek therapeutic support, my over 15 years of clinical experience have taught me that the heart of the process that unfolds in psychotherapy can be boiled down to a few key principles that apply to most peoples journey of gaining a better degree of psychological wholeness and health. My integrative approach to psychotherapy draws from a number of different schools of thought in the field including classical psychoanalytic/psychodynamic theory, humanistic psychology, Jungian archetypal psychology, CBT/mindfulness based practices, and solution focused therapy.

"My approach is friendly, collaborative and straight-forward. With more than 15 years of clinical experience, I help adults, adolescents, children and couples address a variety of concerns, including: emotional turmoil, unsatisyfing relationships, and ways you may unwittingly be doing things that get in your own way. The collaborative work of therapy helps people feel more alive, satisfied and engaged in work, relationships and their other pursuits."

"The type of therapy that I specialize in would likely be a good match for you if you're interested in integrating practices like meditation, mindfulness, self-compassion, and loving-kindness with contemporary psychotherapy to address current issues in your life. In the past I have successfully worked with individuals struggling with anxiety disorders, depression, trauma, anger, addiction, chronic pain, marital and other relational issues including LGBT relationships. My specialty is working with anxiety and stress related disorders."

"I hold the therapeutic relationship as sacred, a safe space for self-exploration and self-discovery. I feel passionate about this work, in being a witness and guide, as my clients sort through life's many challenges and major life decisions. Throughout this process I intend to create a nourishing and non-judgmental atmosphere of acceptance, laying the foundation for growth and healing. My style is gentle and allowing - whatever issues you are dealing with, I'm confident we can handle them together and move in a direction toward lasting change. You don't have to do it alone."
