"People often come to therapy because they feel stuck in their lives, are experiencing anxiety or depression and are struggling with personal and professional relationships. My style is warm, supportive and engaged. I believe that the more access we have to our authentic selves, the more we can live a life that is deeply fulfilling. We will work collaboratively to develop a relationship in which there is room to take risks and experience aspects of yourself that may have been previously unknown to you. You will gain valuable tools to help you reach your goals personally, creatively, and professionally."

"Most often, the ways we are unhappy in our lives have to do with the parts of ourselves we don't like. I can gently but efficiently help you uncover the parts of you that are stuck or that you have difficulty expressing, and create the conditions for a natural healing process to occur. I work with people that are motivated to explore their inner worlds, are willing to discover new things about themselves, and like the adventure of growth and change."

"Nice to meet you virtually! I can help you increase motivation and decrease anxiety, depression and other bothersome emotional states. I am skilled in helping people improve their sense of self, self-esteem, and boundaries. I can facilitate a process of forgiveness and self-forgiveness to bring personal healing (i.e., reduction in emotional distress, substance usage, and improved quality of life.)"

"If you are struggling with finding meaning in your life, accessing basic joy and peace of mind, and wanting to build deep relationships with others, I want to help. My aim is to make sure you feel heard, and that we work on what you want to work on. I welcome you to address anxiety, addiction, trauma, depression, and pain in relationships in a way that will free you up to pursue your goals and realize your dreams and bring more love into your life."

"Are you overwhelmed with the demands of life, leaving you feeling anxious and depressed? Do relationships seem really hard to maintain? Maybe you can get a glimpse of what would make you happy, but you just can't seem to make it happen. Or when you try to make change, you find yourself stuck in the same negative pattern. I can help you find your way through these hardships, helping you to transform self-defeating patterns and create a satisfying life. You will then experience new ways of being that will feel liberating and serve you much better."

"Are you (or your child) worried, unhappy, frustrated, unmotivated, failing to live up to your potential? Are you experiencing a transition that leads you to question your beliefs or direction? For over 20 years I have collaborated with clients of all ages to identify, understand and address the barriers to more fulfilling relationships, work, academics, play, creativity and life. My focus is on an in-depth and compassionate understanding of each individual's unique strengths and difficulties, the factors that influence each person beyond their awareness and an individualized approach."

"When personally challenged, you might draw on strategies that help you through without helping you grow. When heard and valued, the human spirit is resilient in sometimes surprising ways. I work collaboratively with you, respecting and listening for your particular and unique challenges and potential. I help you to cultivate as well as practice what needs to be developed and integrated in your life. I consider my own study of psychotherapy to be a lifelong practice and work with somatic and relational principles. I welcome you to bring your concerns. I am committed to bring the skills and training of my years in this work."

"After a full career as a psychotherapist and Clinical Director of a nonprofit program that served adults on the autism spectrum, I am now working as an advocate for families with a loved one with disabilities on the spectrum."

"If you have problems at work, at home, or from places unknown, I will collaboratively work with you to find a path forward. By being transparent and nonjudgmental, I meet individuals where they're at and support them in achieving their goals. I practice with strong ethics around having the folks I meet with be the experts in their own lives. I am committed to understanding individuals' unique stories and finding solutions grounded in their own experiences and resources. As a life-long learner, I practice cultural humility and enjoy working with people of all identities and cultural backgrounds."

"I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California with over 12 years of counseling and community mental health experience. I have a Masters in Counseling Psychology and a Masters in Forensic psychology from Holy Names University. I combine my clinical counseling expertise with personal knowledge to offer clients a unique perspective for problem solving. Rather than focus on deficits, I prefer to focus on the client's resources, strength, and talents."

"You just want to feel happy, to wake up and to actually feel excited about your day. You can't remember the last time you didn't feel stressed or rushed. You miss the old you, the you that used to smile, play with the kids, have fun with your partner. Imagine what it would feel like to slow down just a bit, to feel less stressed. Imagine what it would be like to feel calm, happy, and confident as you went through you day. Imagine what could change if you were able to start feeling good again."

"I bring to my private practice 30 years of experience and extensive training in couple dynamics, attachment, sexuality and family systems. When couples first contact me, they have often been struggling with strained, stuck and reactive relationship patterns for a long time. They have hurt each other by attempting various ineffective solutions such as fighting-to-win, resentful compliance, disengagement, squeezing out their sexual desire, infidelities, freezing in hopelessness. This is all in an attempt to manage the anxiety and discomfort often inherent in long-term relationship challenges. They are discouraged and worried that they will be unable to move beyond their entrenched barriers."

"I provide culturally sensitive, empirically validated psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and families, ranging from adolescents to seniors. I am committed to the therapeutic process as a collaborative journey and consider it a great privilege to be entrusted with my clients' most deeply-held thoughts and feelings. I am actively engaged with those who are grappling with issues of anxiety, depression, bereavement, relationship problems, life transitions, trauma, interpersonal difficulties and creative blocks, addressing my client's concerns in a humanistic and holistic manner that transcends preoccupation with pathology to work toward a life of deep meaning, creativity and interpersonal fulfillment."

"Have you tried to stop looking at porn but can't? Have secrets sapped the trust and respect from your relationship? Do memories of past hurts intrude into the present? Infidelity, porn, or sex addiction -- and the shame that comes along with it -- can take away our voice. Let's talk and make sure you're heard. I have helped many individuals and couples develop healthy sexuality and rebuild trust. It would be my honor to walk alongside you."

"My theoretical approach blends mindfulness and depth / psychodynamic orientations. Mindfulness practices are highly effective in helping you find relief from negative thought patterns that lead to depression or anxiety. In depth psychotherapy, I provide guidance and compassionate support to help you understand the roots of current problems and make positive changes with insight and wisdom."

"Therapy doesn't have to be a long drawn out process. Whether you're suffering from depression, anxiety, or any other kind of challenge you want a therapist who can help you bring about change right from the start, to get to the deep roots of your problems and achieve results in as few sessions as possible. I specialize in a form of psychotherapy that is both depth-oriented and time-limited. I work with adults, adolescents and couples in my office in Berkeley, CA, and also work with many clients remotely by telephone."

"My practice focus includes treating children, teens, and families as well as adult individuals facing complicated emotional and behavioral conditions. How I work depends upon the circumstances bringing you to a psychotherapist as different problems and situations need different approaches. Every therapy is unique even if there are preferred methods and practices for treating anxiety, depression, and others. Each treatment is foremost a relationship. This often takes time to build, which may be a challenge when limited by schedules, insurance benefits, or circumstances. My goal is that psychotherapy is effective in addressing change in thinking and behavior, and that you find it helpful."

"Welcome :) I specialize in supporting teens and adults facing crisis, difficult life transitions, relationship issues, grief/loss, depression and anxiety. My work is deeply rooted in empowering and supporting individuals on their personal journey as they uncover inner-strengths, increase insight about themselves, their relationships and restoring balance in their lives. I embrace a strengths-based, holistic, multicultural and mindfulness-based framework when working with clients. I welcome diversity in all forms and integrate various treatment modalities based on client need. "

"During the past 30 years of working as a psychotherapist, I have helped people with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship and work issues, and often just a general sense that something isn't right. As a Jungian and relational therapist, I am empathic, nonjudgemental, nonpatholgizing, and deeply interested in the uniqueness of each human being who comes to me. Warm and down-to-earth, I enjoy exploring deeper levels of experience but can be practical and provide suggestions and tools when that is what is needed."

"I work from a relational, holistic perspective, where I support a person's journey toward wellness. I take into account a person's whole story, as I hold space for the dark parts to emerge and for the healing to occur. My approach is collaborative, as transformation takes place, and a sense of empowerment emerges."
