I have worked with adults and youth for 20 years to help calm anxiety and lift depressed feelings and to find a way out of being limited by difficult emotions. My specialties include helping clients through life changes, issues related to work, school and personal relationships, anxiety and depression. Painful experiences or feelings from the past can cause us to feel disconnected from the relationships and opportunities in the world around us. I can work with you to help shift the circular patterns of thinking and feeling to allow that valuable energy to be redirected to positive change.

You are tired from a lifetime of feeling both 'too much' and also 'not enough'. This overwhelming shame and guilt is preventing you from enjoying healthy connections to yourself and others. You show up readily for others but will not ‘burden' them when you are in need. You try so hard to hide your sensitivity, but know deep inside that this should be a beloved asset. Are you aching to discover yourself, to experience the joy of self acceptance and healthy attachment? Is holding a scarcity mindset or living a life impacted by emotional wounds and intergenerational patterns no longer serving you? You are ready to be seen and to heal.

Do you find trust & intimacy with yourself or others a challenge? Are you encountering barriers in your relationship with yourself or with others that leave intimacy feeling inaccessible or unfulfilling? I understand. The experiences we've had, from early childhood up to the present, can have a profound impact on the way we perceive ourselves, others, and even the world around us. Therapy can offer supported self-discovery that can lead to growth that allows for deeper acceptance, connection, and fulfillment. I believe in the self-determination of human beings, and in our abilities to grow, change, and heal.

Finding a therapist can be a difficult task; actually calling one is even harder. When I am struggling with something I find myself irritable, directionless, and without energy (or too much nervous energy) a difficult time to build new relationships. It is my hope that stepping into my office might feel like finding an oasis; a welcoming place where you can put down your burdens, relax, and see what you can unpack or unload. I engage with people with acceptance and curiosity. I find things I like and inspiration in conversations. I am constantly amazed by people’s creativity, perspective, and desire to connect in a personal ways.

What's Love Got to Do With It??. . . . Alot!. . You're having trouble in relationships, friendships or at work. You're finding it hard to know how to fix things, and you wonder if the problem is you, your past, or the people around you. You're seeking out support because life has gotten overwhelming or you've shut down. Anxiety or depression maybe peek in here or there and you want real tools to use. You want to feel more confident & fulfilled in relationships, but no one ever taught you that part. You want self-love but don't have a clear vision of who you are.

Welcome. I work with children, adolescents, and adults coping with relational, anxiety, traumatic, and mood disorders. In my practice, therapy often entails exploring the impact of early attachment experiences on our views of self and our ability to form close, meaningful relationships throughout life. In our work together, you will be treated with warmth, empathy, and openness. The most important part of our work is the development of a trusting relationship. This relationship creates a thoughtful, safe space to explore your strengths, challenges, and goals. My approach to clinical work is largely relational and psychodynamic.

Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist. My approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. I provide a practical framework that helps individuals, parents, and kids. I support parents from the moment you decide to start a family, parents who may be struggling to connect with their kiddo, or kids who need a space to work on social skills. I enjoy working with college-aged students and athletes. I believe the relationship we create is crucial in our work together. Together we can explore the areas where you are struggling and find ways to help you live more authentically. I provide telehealth, walk/run while we talk therapy.

I consider therapy a collaborative effort, guided by your needs. Through meaningful conversations I address your goals, your beliefs & their origins, and look at what's not working for you anymore. Therapy gives you the space you need to look at what is true to you by exploring your boundaries and willingness to go to uncomfortable places. I've been working in a private practice since 2008, first as an intern and now as a licensed clinician. I am attentive, warm, and compassionate. I take my work seriously & believe a little humor can aid in the healing process.

As a psychotherapist, I help clients redefine how they live their lives. I am a licensed clinical social worker who sees children, adolescents and families as well as individual adults. By engaging in a series of conversations, I will help you to challenge the problematic assumptions and ways of being that prevent you from realizing the full potential of your life.
I work from a colloborative stance that assumes you are the expert on your life. But my own expertise in helping people overcome emotional problems, troublesome habits and relationship roadblocks can help you create new solutions to old problems.

*Not accepting new clients* I work well with people who as children, and now as adults, were impacted by a primary caregiver who was caught in a substance use cycle. Often there was a family culture of unpredictability, rigid rules, abuse, neglect, loss, humiliation, violation, and violence. My clients had to choose safety and inclusion over being themselves or being embodied, and want help addressing fear, shame, and critical self-concepts so that they can come back to themselves. They often have some grieving to do. They want to go beyond interpretation or assessment and yet still seek to understand the heart of things.

As a neuropsychologist, my primary focus is helping people recover as fully as possible from brain injuries such as strokes, traumatic brain injuries, brain cancer, and other neurological disorders. Treatment may include comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation; recommendations for specialized cognitive therapies such as speech therapy, occupational therapy or physical therapy; psychotherapies to address trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, coping skills, identity, and relationships; and education to help people and their families cope with the impact the brain injury has had on the family, advocate for needed treatments, and participate effectively in the rehabilitation process.

What type of Alameda mental health professional is right for me?
While most types of therapy have a lot in common, they also fall into clusters that share core features, such as cognitive therapies or psychodynamic approaches. It is important to seek someone who practices evidence-based therapy, meaning one or more forms of treatment that have been scientifically evaluated and tested, and demonstrate consistent improvement for a majority of patients.
