Individual Psychotherapy and Co-Parenting Solutions. I am a clinical psychologist, affiliated with A Step Forward, a group private practice.

I've been practicing psychology in Sausalito since 1996. The people with whom I work are normally functioning individuals who come in to explore issues that represent some ongoing disruptive pattern in their lives. Together, we actively engage in discourse intended to stimulate meaningful insights and reflections; as we consider possible changes that may help them to lead more genuine and integrated lives.

In my psychotherapy practice I use supportive and insight-focused approaches, together with techniques derived from cognitive behavioral therapy with the goal of helping people find their own sense of agency. My most fundamental assumption is that people are always trying to overcome the psychological obstacles that interfere with their happiness and that the therapist's job is to help identify those obstacles and suggest better ways to cope with them.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, dread, depression, self-criticism, relationship problems, or symptoms of complex trauma. When these feelings are acute it can feel unbearable and all we want is some relief. I work with people to address uncomfortable symptoms in the present, while also exploring their meaning and source including connections with earlier life experiences. I work well with people who are curious about the root of their symptoms and have a desire to know themselves in a deeper way.

I work with individuals who often have achieved considerable success, but who nonetheless are unhappy. Typically, they suffer from childhood adversity, usually family based, oftentimes because of childhood losses, family illnesses, or dificulties with parents or siblings. I give importance to listening carefully to my clients' concerns, and working with them to build a trusting relationship which is essential if I am going to be helpful to individuals who are hoping to overcome the difficulties that cause them to seek assistance. It is common for my clients to seek help when they struggling either with work or relationship problems.

You are struggling with challenges affecting your relationships, work, social life and, most importantly, yourself. Despite trying to "fix" the problems, they don't go away and you seek clarification and forward movement to get yourself back on track. Complex, yet common, issues around love, family, purpose in life, and doing what truly makes you happy, have become overwhelming and you’re ready to do something different. You may have recently undergone a loss, job change, life change, a psychiatric or medical emergency, and are feeling really depressed and worried. Reach out and let me help get you back on track.

For women, men, and couples midlife and long term infertility are life stages that can be filled with grief, confusion, transition and lack of control. My clients come to me saying, “I’m not who I used to be, and I’m not sure who I am now. Don't know how we can move forward.” I am passionate about people in their 40’s and 50’s because I believe that a “third act” is lying just ahead. It’s a stage in life that can be fulfilling, exciting and meaningful. It just doesn't always feel that way.

I am not the type of therapist that sits in a chair and nods silently at everything you say. My approach is warm, direct and healing on multi-levels. Depending on each individual case we can explore talking your story, expanding your breath, expressing ranges of emotion or moving your body. I consider my work and the space I hold as sacred. There are many doorways into the experience of freedom and together we can find the one that fits your Self.

I am a Geropsychologist which means I specialize with older adults. I provide forensic neuropsychological evaluations to assist with decision making capacity for the following domains: medical/financial consent, sexual consent, testamentary consent, driving, independent living. Evaluations/therapy also assist with diagnoses for dementia, depression, anxiety, and/or grief/loss. I work with family members/caregivers caring for those with dementia and perhaps behavioral challenges associated with the dementia. I currently work at the San Francisco VA Health Care System (SFVAHCS) for the Department of Geropsychiatry since 2007.

I would like to tell potential clients that my style is interactive, that I am a good listener, and that most people improve if they are committed to changing. I am particularly good at treating grief and trauma. Patients have come in with multiple losses, have seen their loved ones hurt, injured or murdered, or have themselves been raped, or assaulted and have turned their lives around. Many clients cannot get over a loss of a husband, wife, or lover and have been able to move forward. I value a partnership. I value an open heart and emotional expression.

I specialize in helping people change behaviors that harm their relationships and what prevents them from living in their full potential. We find what causes irritability, anxiety, depression and acting out behaviors such as eating, shopping, and sexual issues. Commonly therapists listen but that doesn't help resolve traumatic pasts that sabotage present day. Many have behaviors they are stuck repeating and not know why. Using results-driven cutting edge modalities and techniques I help people understand and stop those behaviors and patterns. I also specialize in LGBQ, poly and open relationship issues.

Hello welcome to my practice. I believe a trusting, supportive relationship helps you focus on whatever you are choosing to work through.

I can also show you effective techniques for addressing stress.

We cannot get through life without difficult times. None of us can. Whether it's a family conflict, career predicament, or personal trauma we are going to experience them. And, yet, how we handle them can make all the difference in our future and the future of those we love. I have been doing psychotherapy for a long time, both with individuals and with couples, and hope I have developed an ability to help manage these life situations. I work with people in both short-term crisis situations and longer-term therapy contexts, from their teens to their nineties.

Are you feeling dissatisfied with life? Feeling stuck, unhappy with relationships? I work with couples and individuals in all stages of life who have arrived at some sort of impasse in their lives. I help clients work through a variety of issues: intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, addiction issues, unresolved trauma, panic attacks, and career dissatisfaction.

I've been in private practice for over 32 years in the San Francisco Bay Area working with individuals ,couples and families seeking support for trauma, life transitions, and development. Whatever stimulus propels an individual to seek support, can be an opportunity for each person to engage more fully in their life. The therapeutic process is an organic one that involves a mutual exploration between myself and clients with the client's needs and purpose informing the process. What may seem an obstacle may be an opening when viewed from a different perspective with another,to make a difference in one's mental health.

Regardless of your suffering, there is a way through it and because we each have our own way of processing emotional wounds, I take an individualized approach to help you transform pain into healing. I specialize in addressing trauma and grief. This includes the loss of a loved one, traumatic loss (event-related, developmental), as well as psychological symptoms associated with chronic and terminal illness. Through an integrated approach, my work is about healing the soul and finding light in the darkness despite facing life-threatening conditions afflicting the body, mind, heart, and spirit.
