Adults Therapists in 94401

I am easy going and engaging and I believe in helping to empower individuals. I love the feeling of connecting with clients and walking through the therapeutic journey. I have experience working with many demographics and cultures and creating a safe and confidential environment for expression and intellectual freedom. I work primarily with adults, young adults and teenagers.

I'm an interactive therapist with over 20 years experience based in the SF Bay Area who provides telehealth services to residents of the State of California. I'm a dually licensed LMFT and LAADC and Certified Neuropsychotherapist. My approach is developmentally- and trauma-informed with an attachment focus. I am trained in evidence-based interventions including EMDR, neuropsychotherapy, CBT, DBT, psychodynamic theory, family systems, mindfulness techniques, and others. I am honored to work with adults and couples seeking to improve their well-being and increase their life satisfaction.

I support individuals and families in coping with challenges related to anxiety, depression, relational issues, and trauma, with a specialization in managing chronic pain, adjusting to illness, and processing grief and loss. Whether you or your family is navigating a major life transition, struggling interpersonally, or grappling with a medical diagnosis, I'm here to help.

I have been providing treatment to adolescents and adults in the Bay Area since 2011. I view therapy as a collaborative process and feel strongly that treatment is most effective when individuals can share their feelings and thoughts openly. To that end, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect is vital to a successful outcome. I use a treatment approach that is warm and welcoming and try to remain authentic and accepting in sessions.

Looking for a new way to experience therapy via a transformative conversation? Sometimes talking can feel like an interrogation, here I offer us conversations to move through and process feelings of depression, anxiety, complex grief and trauma, relationship conflict, or day to day life stressors that can feel overwhelming at times. It is through these conversations that we can identify those areas that have left you feeling stuck or lacking motivation that have held you back from living a life that you see for yourself.

The search for a therapist can be a daunting task filled with anxiety and skepticism. I believe the therapeutic relationship starts with comfort and trust, and it is important to feel a genuine connection with your therapist. It is important to feel valued and respected by your therapist as you may disclose the most vulnerable aspects of your life. With the right connection, you can feel supported to explore parts of you otherwise locked away.

I believe for therapy to be effective, there must be established trust, a willingness to be vulnerable and a commitment to be authentic. I work with those seeking for a more balanced sense of themselves. My style is direct, transparent, insight-oriented and Psychodynamic. I use cognitive behavioral techniques and evidence based practices to help clients achieve their goals of working through depression, managing anxiety, replenishing caregiver-burnt out and coping with life stress. I am a family educator and also believe a sense of humor (when appropriate), is necessary for this line of work. Certified SoulCollage® facilitator.

I am adept at working with families, couples and individual be they teens or adults in the area of trauma: domestic violence, PTSD as examples and how that influences relationships. I do this in a sociopolitical context which means that I consider the biopsychosocial and sociopolitical issues that affect the person with whom I’m working.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, panic, and relationships. I have past experience working with young children, teens, and adults utilizing an integrated approach to tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and preferences.

My philosophy in working with youth and adults is to share cognitive and mindfulness techniques, in a supportive setting, to help my clients make positive changes in their thoughts and actions. Utilizing personal accountability, combined with humor and lightness, I aim to help clients cultivate compassion for themselves, so they may be willing to experiment with new tools. I strive to help clients come back into their bodies, more effectively process their feelings, and move decisively toward wellness. My theory is to be flexible and sensitive in my approach while moving clients toward a more confident, realized version of themselves.
