"I believe in healing ourselves and each other as the first step toward healing our planet. My intention as a therapist is to guide people toward empowerment and healing in order to live their fullest and most joyful lives possible. I believe that we all have this capacity within us, and therapy can help us to move through our past trauma, oppressive social conditioning, anxieties and other stresses to be our best selves."

"Negative experiences and trauma can drive many of our life choices, incIuding how we treat ourselves. I work with clients to restore a sense of safety, health, and wholeness."

"I am a psychologist, neuropsychologist, and Qualified Medical Examiner. I specialize in evaluations for nearly all neuropsychological conditions, even pertaining to medical-legal matters such as social security disability, fitness for duty, etc. I offer comprehensive evaluations to brief screenings, depending on your needs. I have offices across northern California and for those still outside my reach, confidential video conferencing is available and does not preclude certain types of evaluations."

"You've found the right person to build a life with but there are times when you both struggle with tense communication that triggers insecurity and knee jerk defenses. You both want to learn effective ways to communicate with each other in the spirit of true collaboration. If elevating your relationship skill is your goal, I can help. I offer clear education, guidance, and skill building to couples in the process of defining/redefining their relationship, struggling with sexuality, or wanting to resolve long-held differences and conflicts."

"Helping people when they are in crisis is my passion. I specialize in emergency and acute mental health evaluation and consultation. I am currently accepting patients for brief intervention services only, including: crisis evaluation and acute treatment planning; urgent clinical diagnostic evaluation and consultation; and, private disability evaluations."

"While I do offer talk therapy, I also blend psychotherapy, expressive arts therapy and somatic therapy. Expressive arts therapy can look like anything from me having you choose images (rather than using words) to describe your experience, to drama therapy techniques by which I facilitate you having a conversation with a "part" of yourself that continues a frustrating habit. Somatic work means your body is an integral part of our process. This can mean tracking bodily shifts and sensations together. It can also involve standing practices that reflect back what your body (you) are doing, as opposed to what you think you are doing."

"RADICALLY IMPROVE YOURSELF AND YOUR RELATIONSHIPS. Do you want to meet new people? Would you like a better relationship with your boss and coworkers for a better career? Do you want a deeper connection to your partner, child, or family? Do you want to feel that you deserve love, happiness, and success? Relationships determine everything in our lives, from who we date to where we work to what we do for fun. If your relationships are good, chances are your life is good. I help people have good relationships and good lives."

"I believe strongly in the power of healing though creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your unique experience. My goal is to help you connect with your innate inner strengths, deepen self-understanding and insight, and build skills that foster healing and resilience. I provide short-term solution-focused counseling, as well as long-term in-depth therapy for adults and adolescents seeking support around a variety of issues."

"There is a world inside us that is loosened and discovered in therapy. Although it can be scary, it is really a feeling, finally, of coming home to that most vulnerable, creative and loving self."

"In the spirit of mutual discovery, my approach is flexible and interactive, cultivating a safe and private space for individuals to fully speak their truth so that they can reorient their life accordingly. Through creating an atmosphere of empathic and respectful listening, I help people identify what they really want and access their inner resources for change."

"Welcome. Do you feel stuck or overwhelmed? Do you have trouble expressing your needs? Do you put a lot of pressure on yourself, and feel anxious about not meeting your expectations? Do you feel like your everyday responsibilities are getting harder for you to complete? Do you feel uncertain about how to manage feelings of distress? I am a psychologist that can help guide you toward relief. I aim to help individuals understand their concerns, strengths, and help them identify the tools necessary to manage distress, push through challenges, and understand how to become the best version of themselves."

"Therapy with me will have you leaving my office with tangible ways, for you or you and your loved ones, to facilitate changes in what you want in your life from the very first session. I will challenge you hard but with compassion. I enjoy helping people develop an enthusiasm for the process of self-discovery and healing. I make authentic contact with people help them cultivate a taste for their own Truths while making space to grieve the loss of old ways or relating to people and the world around them. I see starting therapy is a sign of intelligence."

"My role as a therapist is to act a guide and facilitator in a dynamic process that helps you get closer to the things you want out of life. As a therapist I offer support and encouragement to explore the issues that are holding you back. Utilizing and building on your own strengths, we will approach your unique situation in a safe, collaborative process to help you overcome challenges and experience a greater sense of satisfaction and fulfillment."

"Women, people of color, and the queer & trans community are the focus of my practice. I work with a variety of issues ranging from depression, anxiety and panic attacks, to gender and sexual identity, and the immigrant experience, including biculturalism, first-generation and mixed-status families."

"I provide culturally specific therapy, which focuses on the strengths that you already have. I tend to use a cognitive behavioral (CBT) theoretical approach, while also paying attention to your environment and access to social support. I work with you to build a safe space where you can share your experiences without the fear of being judged, and where you can focus on becoming clear about what you want, and how you want to go about making that happen."

"I am inspired by the innate human drive to heal. This healing is courageous, intimate, and deserving of honor and care. I bring compassion and respect for all the ways we humans adapt to survive. Together, we can find new ways of being that can liberate us from strategies that no longer serve us. I can help you holistically address a number of issues, such as: depression, anxiety, embodiment and dissociation issues, compulsions, addiction, assertiveness, relationship issues, self-esteem issues, gender, sexuality, and the complex impacts of trauma."

"My focus is working with clients dealing with problems relating to faith, parenting, sexuality, and relationships. I am empathetic, energetic, and warm."

"Are you unsure about how to solve a problem? Feeling anxious or depressed? Hate yourself? Do the same problems keep reoccurring? Are you struggling with a transition? Do you have concerns about your relationships and struggle to express your needs with partners, friends, or family members? Struggling with a part of your identity? Are you having difficulty sleeping? Do you have no appetite or find yourself overeating? Feeling tired, lacking concentration, and having difficulty motivating yourself? IF SO, I can help you. Therapy will ignite change in your life, and I look forward to supporting you in seeking that change."

"I am a licensed clinical social worker specializing in critical therapeutic services for children & adults. I provide holistic, strength-based, collaborative, and non-diagnostic psychotherapy which focuses on cultivating resilience, empowerment and addressing issues related to shame. The cornerstone of my practice is exploring embedded issues of loss, shame, vulnerability which impacts identity & can be exacerbated by race, class, gender & socio/cultural conditions. I enjoy working with people of all ages, backgrounds, orientations and ethnicities.
