"My training is primarily in healing couples by looking at the repeated patterns that get in the way of safe intimate connection. We all have responses that are were wonderfully helpful in the past but are less successful at getting what we want now.

Mindfulness, to self regulate, is central to my work."

My passion is in helping new parents through the big choices and feelings in raising a new human being, while also nurturing the parent, partner and person they most wish to be.

"I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 85537) in Oakland, California.

"You may be unhappy with yourself or the world outside -- maybe with another person or a difficult situation. Perhaps you've tried to change things but it hasn't worked.

Whatever difficulty humans face being clear inside is essential for change to happen. I invite you to call me if you're interested in self development, personal growth, in understanding yourself and why you react and feel the way you do."

"Are you in a place in your life where big changes are happening both inside and outside yourself? You feel unsure of how to express and assert yourself in the world and relationships. You wish for more clarity and confidence. Maybe you feel alone in what you're going through. Therapy is a safe place to explore what's going on, to feel understood, supported, and find your voice. I believe healing happens when we can tend to all the parts of ourselves, light and dark. Wholeness arises when we can express and fully embrace who we really are."
