"I help confident, hard-working professionals get their shit together. The costs of success can be high. You've busted your ass - setting aside sleep, relationships and exercise in order to excel. It's all been worth it... only, maybe not. The collegial happy hours are not quite as fulfilling as they once were. The excitement of those Tinder flings is waning. Shop therapy feels GREAT... and then the emptiness returns. It feels impossible to tell anyone what is really on your mind. You can't keep up this pace much longer."

"If you have made your way to this page, you are probably struggling with a "relationship problem"--either with someone else, or with yourself. This is likely causing you significant emotional pain. Your predicament may have been triggered by a recent event, such as loss or trauma, or may have lingered and festered for years. Your symptoms may vary--you may experience persistent discontent, loneliness, emptiness...; have difficulty finding or sustaining a relationship, or have a spouse who wants you to get "fixed".You may be battling addiction or a destructive behavior that is thwarting your life, but impossible to give up, despite endless attempts."

"I am passionate about working with couples and individuals with any life transition issues including all stages of relationship, (personal and professional development), healing recent or past traumas, or moving through any obstacles impeding your experience of joy, compassion and overall fulfillment. For couples, I can help you break cycles of interaction causing distress and estrangement, guiding as you build the safe, intimate, loving connection you desire. Both individuals and couples will experience me as a warm, caring therapist, where exploration and discovery is fostered through partnership and respect. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and thrive."

"Is your child frustrated with his or her anxiety? Is your child experiencing difficulties at school or with peers due to anxiety? Is your child or family experiencing a transition? Are you a mother looking for your own individual support? I provide early childhood, adolescent, and family therapy and parent consultation for child behavior management. I also provide individual sessions for women looking for therapeutic support."

"Perhaps you have a sense of what feels wrong. Or perhaps you simply have a vague feeling that something is not right, and that you are suffering. Much of our mental life occurs in relation to others. It follows that the freedom to fully think, feel, and understand one's thoughts often requires the involvement of another person."

"Hi Everyone! I help anxious kids and their families. If your child struggles with anxiety, I know how overwhelming and frustrating it can feel for both you and your child. Anxiety is a normal feeling that we all have. But, when it becomes too bossy and starts taking over ever-more territory, it can become a big problem for the entire family. The good news is anxiety disorders in children are so treatable. In therapy, your child will learn skills to manage their anxiety...to become emotionally equipped to handle life's uncertainties, uncomfortable moments, and challenges."

"No matter how dark your struggle, there is a part of you that knows how to heal. The map to wholeness is inside you, like the map to a flower is already within its seed. I trust the timing and direction of this process and strive to create a safe, trustworthy environment for it to unfold. My style is warm and real. I will not diagnose or try and "fix" you. I will not analyze you. I will pay deep attention to what's happening in for you in the moment - mind, body and spirit."

"A good connection to your therapist is often the most important ingredient to successful therapy. Choosing a therapist you can relate to is essential. My working style is collaborative and direct. I pay particular attention to how my clients are conceptualizing their conflicts (both internal and external), their relationships, and their history."

"My specialty for over 20 years is food, weight, body image and exercise issues as a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and nutritional consultant . My own eating disorder history led to my path helping those struggling with binging, restricting, purging, compulsive exercise and body dissatisfaction. We work on the BODY level with nutrition; the FEELING level, addressing anxiety, depression, self esteem; the THINKING level, obsessing about calories, carbohydrates, fat grams, the gym, the scale; we build EMPOWERMENT, finding your voice, using boundaries, recognizing and honoring your needs, healthier coping skills. Our focus is to normalize eating and change your relationship to food and to your body."

"I don't know how I can help you. That's right, I said I DON'T know how I can help you. No experienced therapist knows how to help someone before that person shows up in the therapist's office and reveals who they are. Each person comes in with a different set of life-experiences, different struggles and hopes, and different ways of coping with life. This doesn't mean that I won't be able to help you. I have 40+ years experience helping people gain strength, focus, and the confidence to overcome obstacles that impede success."

"I treat adults as well as adolescents and children, most frequently through individual therapy. I also work with couples. I work with people with a wide range of problems and especially enjoy working with people experiencing anxiety in relationships or at work . I also enjoy working with people who are unhappy and don't know why, and people who are repeating self-defeating patterns they feel unable to change. Meeting with a well-trained and experienced therapist can be a powerful and effective way of strengthening one's confidence and developing a personal sense of control over one's life."

"As a therapist, I consider my role to be a guide and witness to facilitate the development of your true self and your inner resources. I create a genuine and respectful space that allows us to explore where you're at, your goals, and your challenges. I love using expressive arts therapy and seeing people blossom when they experience the nourishment, wisdom, power, and insight of their creativity. I also use mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Jungian psychology. My focus is on working with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, childhood wounding, creative blocks, finding passion/direction in life, grief, and loss."

"Have you been strugging with Depression, Relationship issues, or Life Transitions? I can help you find a place of acceptance and healing through our relationship and work together. I have been helping people change their lives for 20 years. I use an interactive, relational approach to help guide you toward a higher level of self-awareness, and improved self-esteem. I believe therapy works through exploring your relationships to others, and by developing our relationship and connection to each other. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for us to explore who you are and who you want to be."

"In my 30+ years practicing psychotherapy, I have had extensive experience working with adults who are trying to adjust to the problems that life presents to us---a difficult childhood, trauma, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, stress, working with a child who has a difficult mental illness, sexual abuse,couples' relationship struggles (heterosexual, gay, and lesbian), and grief from the loss of someone treasured. Always my treatment goal is to facilitate the improvement in the quality of life for each individual and to look for the creative aspect within the destruction. Healing is a natural process, but sometimes it is difficult to remember that fact."

"I have been practicing psychotherapy for thirty five years. I am an active therapist, committed to staying deeply engaged in our moment-to-moment exchange. I am willing and able to go to the depths of a client's experience, allowing her/him to release tangled feelings and break open psychological knots. With guided imagery, EMDR (for trauma), and EFT, I help people access and make use of the expansive and healing capacities of the unconscious mind. I am also skilled in working pragmatically, helping people communicate better, shift habits of negative thinking, and solve troubling life concerns."

"I work with individuals, couples, and families, to develop a therapeutic relationship based on their needs and goals. Through this process, clients get to know themselves better, in a safe and supportive environment. I consider therapy a collaborative process that offers unique opportunities to manifest your ideal self through honesty and trust. I facilitate the creation of a space that feels safe so you can explore the emotions that arise from difficult and painful experiences. I support couples and families in developing empathy so that interactions become more connected and thoughtful. I incorporate mindfulness with other therapeutic modalities to find the best fit for you."

"People come to therapy for many different reasons. Some seek symptom relief, while others want to find ways to cope more effectively, improve their relationships, or make better choices in their lives. Whether your concerns reflect relatively discrete, time-limited issues or more long-standing difficulties, psychotherapy offers an opportunity to address them in a safe, respectful and thoughtful environment. As a therapist, I draw on 25+ years of experience in teaching and research at the UCSF School of Medicine in the areas of decision-making, stress, reproductive health, sexuality, risk behaviors, and health promotion."

"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."

"I work with adult women who are in the midst of difficult life transitions or are struggling to find and maintain satisfying relationships and careers. I provide a warm, non-judgmental presence for you to name and process what's troubling you in your life. Through this process of discovery, I will support you to make choices and decisions that feel more authentic and congruent with who you are."
