You are looking to change something, feel better and strengthen relationships; therapy is the right place to start. Have you struggled with ADHD symptoms like disorganization, forgetfulness, poor follow through with low self-esteem? If you are a first responder or have been through a trauma (however small or severe) you want relief from intrusive thoughts, nightmares, persistent fear and impact on relationships and daily life. Or you may recently have discovered shocking DNA revelations from at-home DNA tests/ancestry websites and need support as you navigate known family secrets or searching for biological family.

Are you worried about your child, teen or young adult but unsure how to help them? You can see something has changed in them: perhaps they seem depressed, anxious, or isolated in ways they didn’t used to be. You want them to learn skills to deal with life's challenges and resolve the issues that are holding them back. Because more than anything, you want to see your child thrive. My practice focuses on the unique needs of children 4+ through young adulthood and their families. I create developmentally appropriate, customized treatment plans using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) strategies, art and play therapy interventions.

Everyone needs help in life now and then. I work collaboratively with children, teens, adults, couples, and families, to identify and solve the difficulties they are facing. I am direct, compassionate, and use my sense of humor in helping people to make changes in their life. In our work together, we can get you back on track to accomplishing your goals. I have experience and success in treating: anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship problems, trauma, drug and/or alcohol abuse, anger problems, bipolar disorder, self-harming, diverse clients, and academic problems. I use evidence based, effective approaches such as CBT, EFT, Family Systems, and EMDR.

Anaïs Nin wrote "we see the world not as it is, but as we are." Without self-reflection, we can all fall into old patterns and behaviors which no longer serve us. With self-reflection we can make sense of our worldview and become active agents of change and growth in our own lives. I have about 20 years of clinical experience practicing psychotherapy in a variety of settings.

Recognizing the need for help is challenging enough; finding the best clinician should be simple and straightforward. Regardless of who we are working with, our primary focus is on improving self-esteem, building self-confidence, and working to enrich the self-worth of each of our clients. The more faith a person has in their own abilities and innate uniqueness, the more they are able to engage with the world they live in, the family they belong to, and the life they deserve to experience. Put simply, we aim to improve the quality of life for every one of our clients.

For nearly 20 years I have worked with teens and adults in a variety of settings to help them navigate challenges in their lives and build more meaningful relationships. I work from an integrative approach using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Relational Psychodynamic Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP). Likewise, I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and related somatic-based interventions.

I am a licensed psychologist who works with teens and adults to address Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Relationship Issues, Infertility, Postpartum Issues, ADHD and learning disabilities in both therapy and testing. My therapy clients are individuals seeking to improve their overall functioning through exploring and identifying personal patterns so they can learn to make more successful choices in their lives. Through helping clients develop healthy coping and decision making skills, I aim to instill a long lasting sense of well-being.

As a Chronic Illness, Neurodivergence, Anxiety, Depression, and Complex Trauma Specialist, I help individuals, families, and couples overcome challenges by addressing the Mind, Body, and Soul. My therapy space welcomes the expression of all emotions without judgment. My approach uses curiosity to understand any persistent and overwhelming thoughts in order to gain a sense of relief and acceptance. Together we can work collaboratively to meet your needs, understand perceptions, cultivate your strengths, improve relationships and self-esteem, and achieve personal growth.

Because childhood and adolescence are such fragile stages of life, treating emotional and behavioral problems quickly and efficiently is essential. I join forces with you to resolve your children’s problems through expert assessment and carefully designed treatment plans. I begin this process by offering you a free personal consultation by phone to discuss your concerns and possible evaluations/interventions.

There are times in our life when we might feel overwhelmed and confused when trying to manage today's stressors. Fortunately, because you are seeking help, you don't have to go through it alone. Often we need guidance when navigating the challenges and feelings that come when difficulties arise. In a supportive and empathetic environment, issues such as: grief and loss, sadness/depression, anxiety, life transitions, personal growth, low self-esteem, trauma, chronic pain, ADHD difficulties, as well as child/parent struggles, can be addressed through a strength-based and solution-oriented approach.

I have been in practice as a licensed psychologist for the past 28 years in Marin County where I was also born and have raised my two boys. My approach to assessment and therapy is integrative as it attempts to consider all relevant biological, psychological and environmental influences on a person’s current well-being. Sessions leave ample space for depth-oriented, psychodynamic/attachment based processing of inner struggles and vulnerabilities. They also include collaborative, practical, and hands-on problem solving as well as exploration of cognitive behavioral tools and strategies appropriate to the developmental age.

You may be here because you have unanswered questions or concerns about your child. You may be wondering if your child's development is on track. You may have concerns about their ability to focus and be successful in school. Your child may be struggling in their social relationships or you may be struggling to manage their challenging behaviors. As parents, it is heart-wrenching when we realize our children are struggling and we don't know how best to support them.

I specialize in working with individuals with social learning deficits. During intake calls, many parents report their child to have some (or all) of the following traits: Very bright (above average IQ), better with adults and younger children than with peers, interrupts, trouble with balanced conversation (tends to monologue or doesn't contribute), struggles with losing, challenges with emotional regulation and impulse control, inflexible, strong language abilities, difficulty with perspective taking, wants to engage with others but often gets stuck, trouble with problem-solving, and/or executive function challenges.

My practice welcomes individuals, couples, teens and families from all backgrounds, cultures, and life stages. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, professional stress, chronic illness, or the complexities of neurodiversity, I provide a safe and supportive space for exploration, curiosity and growth. I have a particular affinity for working with creative minds, highly sensitive souls, and those who dance to the beat of their own drum.

We collaborate together, targeting difficulties and utilizing personal strengths to support your vision and growth. Examples: parenting the child you have, changing repetitive, downward spirals in intimate relationships, taking on anxiety w/new strategies, setting boundaries and making connections, experimenting with new approaches to old problems. My approach is tailored to your needs, guided by my experience. Together we track progress. In practice since 1979, I see all ages and most problems. I enjoy long-term depth psychotherapy as well as short-term problem solving therapy. I work with parents, couples, families and individuals and consult for psychotherapists.

I believe that emphasizing the individual's strengths make for a powerful tool for positive change. Having over 18 years experience working in varying school capacities, including therapist, teacher, parent coach, athletic director and parent volunteer, I am well versed in understanding how teens can struggle in their school settings and the rigors of parenting them. My goal is to cultivate resiliency and the maintenance of emotional wellness in the individuals and the families I serve.

Hello! I work with adolescents, parents, adults and couples. I create a safe space for individuals to explore and learn more about themselves. I aim to understand each individual's motivations and experience. I provide clients with insights that will help them get clarity about their circumstances in hopes of reducing symptoms. I provide psycho-education about the client's behavior and help them connect the links between their thoughts, feelings and actions. I utilize my clinical experience to determine what interventions and theoretical orientation makes the most sense for each individual to help support their progress.
