It's a courageous step to seek therapy. And the second step is to find the right therapist. A therapist who is engaged with you in healing psychic wounds (that may cause anxiety, depression, health issues) as well as attuning to the unfolding of your potential. I have 30 years of clinical experience as a depth therapist, was Program Chair for six years and now core faculty, and Associate Professor in the Integral Counseling Program at CIIS in SF. I received my MA from Boston College in Massachusetts and PhD from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, CA.

I believe that we grow through our struggles. They often point to parts of ourselves that are denied or have been banished to adapt to our early environments. In learning how to relate to and integrate more of our wholeness, we experience a greater capacity for and flexibility in relationships as well as a greater resiliency in their lives. I work with clients to increase awareness of themselves and their patterns, both healthy and unhealthy, to have greater choice and freedom in the way they live, and to discover lifepaths that authentically express who they are.

I see the world as my life-time classroom. My therapeutic work is rooted in Jungian and Transpersonal Psychology and have provided therapy for adults, couples, adolescents, and children for eight years in various clinical settings.

I love to work with client's who are open to experiential ways of discovering their authentic self. I believe we all have the ability to intuitively tap into our own internal knowing that will guide us with clarity. I work with clients on connecting to their highest sense of self and releasing the dependence on seeking their worth outside of themselves. We are more than what we think!

I have a wide experience working with clients who have experienced a major loss and and are grieving, whether the loss is the death of a loved one, the loss of a job, the loss of a relationship, or the losses that can come with chronic illness. I have also helped numerous people who are in emotionally and verbally abusive relationships, or have been in such relationships with partners, parents, or friends in the past. In addition, I enjoy helping people suffering from anxiety and depression to release these mood states and adopt a more tranquil state of mind.

Sometimes it takes the gentle mirroring of another person to help see what is no longer working in our lives. Habits formed to survive difficult childhoods may be wrecking havoc. Communication styles may be sabotaging love. We may feel overwhelmed in parenting, or facing a big life transition. I work closely with my clients to increase communication skills and develop greater personal awareness. I teach nervous system regulation in order to stay calm and effective during conflict, difficult conversations, and life transitions. From therapy you’ll learn to operate from wholeness and authenticity, and gain acceptance for self/others.

Psychotherapy is a gift we give to ourselves. That hour per week we set aside to explore our inner worlds - our thoughts, our emotions, and our sensations - and get some relief, heal, integrate, and grow. It is an honor for me to share that hour with you, to accompany you, to witness you, and to discover with you.
