Therapists in Burlingame, CA

Is overthinking holding you back from expanding and enjoying your life? Does your anxiety make it hard for others to get to know you or even worse, prevent you from connecting with yourself? While therapy can have so many myths, I see you as a co-creator where we both identify places where you are getting stuck while providing you with opportunities to start connecting with your most authentic/healthy self. So, in this process, you can start moving toward what matters in your life. Moving towards music and not noise, if you will! Services are private pay ($225/session).

As a licensed psychologist skilled in providing psychotherapy that addresses the full spectrum of human experience, I collaborate with you to attain healing and resolution of your problems, advance in your growth and transformation, and increasingly realize your potential. I facilitate the integration of your sense of identity, purpose, and values with the way you live your life to endow it with greater authenticity and meaning. As an Episcopal priest and Buddhist practitioner, I foster your spiritual development and worldly integration. In these ways, I assist you in the creation of a more peaceful, happy, and fulfilling life.

*CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW MEDICARE PATIENTS* I work with adults struggling with a wide range of challenges including loss of relationships, life transitions, and personal problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma. Life can be difficult but you don't have to figure it out all alone. I can help you. Together, we'll create a safe space where you'll gain insight and perspective into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are no longer working for you. With these understandings, you'll be able to make better choices and positive life changes. By working through your pain, you'll gain a self-awareness you didn't have before.

Accepting new clients! -EMDR/Brainspotting trained- Did something happen to you that you can't bounce back from? Give me a call or text directly at 530-636-0789. I'll respond as soon as I can! Emotional wounds can run deeper than anything that bleeds and it all adds up - exhaustion, withdrawal, feelings of inadequacy. These issues can turn our lives upside down where we don't feel like ourselves anymore (rude). How do I know? I've also been through depression, anxiety and ADHD. Thankfully, it's not a life sentence and through our therapy together you can feel alive again and be the person you want to be.

I graduated from a M.S. mental health counseling program at Eastern Washington University in 1995, got certified and ran a private practice in Seattle from 1995 through 2003. I worked in an outpatient community clinic, an inpatient psychiatric hospital, at retreat centers, and at a college counseling center until starting work on a PhD in Religious Studies and Psychology. I worked, studied, and lived in Europe, East Asia, and Africa before teaching 10 years at San Jose State University, so I am comfortable and confident working with very different sorts of people and I want everyone and anyone to feel welcome and at ease in my care.

You may be considering psychotherapy for yourself. And you may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed. Your relationships, health or even finances may have been affected by your symptoms. Whether your problems are new, or are long standing and deeply rooted, therapy can help. In therapy you can build on your own wisdom to heal a traumatic past and even deep wounds. You may be surprised that difficult life experiences can actually help us develop greater insight and resilience. I am here to help you create your own goals and work towards a better life. You can change your life with the help of a trained therapist.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Feeling restless or easily distracted? Lacking energy, motivation, focus, or direction in life? Spinning your wheels in your career or relationships? Prone to pleasing others at all costs, yet feeling unhappy and misunderstood? Always too busy to stop and smell the flowers? I'd like to help you become more empowered, confident, and satisfied through facing and letting go of your fears, irritating beliefs, guilt, and suffering, so you can learn to communicate more effectively and have healthy relationships. For more than twenty-five years I have provided time-limited and in-depth psychotherapy to individuals, couples and groups.

It's hard to go it alone with painful feelings of confusion, guilt, sadness, anxiety or despair. I help you access and unravel internal knots related to work or school performance, conflictual relationships, gender and sexuality, addictive behaviors, struggles with self-care and body image, or a family history troubled by dysfunction, divorce, addiction, mental illness, abuse, unresolved conflict or estrangement from loved ones.

If you are feeling down, coping with an overwhelming life change, or seeking more out of life and relationships, we can help. Accepting you right where you are with compassion and mindful presence are the cornerstone of our practice. Creating space for you to be, just as you are, problems, guilt, shame, disappointment and all, can be very healing. Once you feel heard and accepted, you can start opening to the guidance of your emotions, identifying blocks to joy, healing and recovery. This creates the space for goal setting and planning.
