Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum Therapists in Castro Valley, CA

I welcome: mamas processing birth trauma, preparing for a homebirth/natural birth and postpartum emotional support; homeschooling parents and families; individuals who are at intersectional spaces such as race, culture, language, gender, sexuality, immigration status, religion, age and body-ability. If you are a parent, a caregiver, a teacher, a healer or a leader, investing time and resources in yourself is an integral part of participating sanely in the world around you. I invite individuals, couples and families, and offer a group for adults.

My focus is on working with you to address current challenges, process past difficulties, and develop tools to overcome hurdles in relationships and daily life. I frequently work with individuals going through life changes, experiencing anxiety, depression, and trauma, and couples with communication and conflict concerns. In addition, I work with individuals on the autism spectrum, and parents, including parents of children with disabilities.

My clinical interests include working with depression, mood/anxiety disorders, relationship difficulties, life transitions, family issues, grief, loss and more. I use several psychotherapeutic modalities in order to best help the client, rather than trying to force the client to conform to a certain style of therapy. I personally know how difficult it is to seek help when you feel overwhelmed. I offer an initial free 20-minute phone consultation to determine if we would be a good therapeutic fit.

I’ve enjoyed working as a psychologist for over 20 years and my clients teach me a great deal as they trust me with their therapeutic process. The vulnerability and confidence they share with me is a privilege and a gift, as well as a deep responsibility. I realize that making the decision to see a therapist is often a long and challenging one. It’s scary to ask for help and my goal is to help you feel as safe as possible, while working through the concerns that you need assistance with. I provide HIPPA Compliant Video sessions for all clients, so you can have therapy sessions from the comfort and privacy of your home or office

"I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better." -Maya Angelou. Therapy is a collaborative and supportive journey where we will work together to help you learn practical skills and tools, and to help you to view yourself and others in a more accurate and nonjudgmental light. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) interventions to address thoughts or behaviors that may be negatively impacting your emotions and relationships, and/or getting in the way of achieving your goals.

Dealing with depression, anxiety or stress can be overwhelming — it isn’t easy to do. Every one experiences “ups and downs” in life but some “downs” can be more problematic than others. Let me help you. I offer compassionate and honest help for: repetitive relationship problems, difficult with emotional intimacy or closeness, problems at work or school, periods of marked depression or anxiety, over-consumption of alcohol or drugs, compulsive or addictive use of a computer, phone, tv, shopping, food, exercise, work or obsessive thinking and vulnerability to self injurious or self-sabotaging behaviors.

Hello, I am a long term licensed psychotherapist (LMFT) and a Chopra certified meditation instructor. Educationally, I have a B.A. from the University of Southern California and an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Past psychotherapy experience includes being an online provider for web based therapy platforms, traditional private practice, Kaiser Permanente Psychiatry Department provider, Hospice bereavement therapist, outpatient clinician at two Family Service clinics, individual and group therapy in various school settings and contract senior clinician in inpatient medical detox.

I believe in healing ourselves and each other as the first step toward healing our planet. My intention as a therapist is to guide people toward empowerment and healing in order to live their fullest and most joyful lives possible. I believe that we all have this capacity within us, and therapy can help us to move through our past trauma, oppressive social conditioning, anxieties and other stresses to be our best selves.

I believe that effective psychotherapy enables clients to take control of their own feelings and behavior by gently uncovering the connections between past experiences and current difficulties. Positive change occurs in an atmosphere of responsibility and hope, and a respectful, dedicated therapist can effectively guide this process. I integrate straightforward communication and empathy in the context of steady, clear boundaries. Psychological services for children and adults include psychodynamic therapy, play therapy, and family court related interventions.

You are not your problems, the problem is the problem! Together we can begin to discern the difference and take action toward change.
