You have difficulty controlling your thoughts, behaviors, relationships, or your sex life. You find yourself behaving in ways that you don’t understand and have gotten you into trouble. You have tried to figure this out on your own, and it isn’t working. You want to understand yourself better, be a better version of yourself, and you are needing change. During my professional career, I have helped many clients with issues in these areas. Life is complex, and even the most successful and intelligent people need help at times.

The search for a therapist can be a daunting task filled with anxiety and skepticism. I believe the therapeutic relationship starts with comfort and trust, and it is important to feel a genuine connection with your therapist. It is important to feel valued and respected by your therapist as you may disclose the most vulnerable aspects of your life. With the right connection, you can feel supported to explore parts of you otherwise locked away.

I believe for therapy to be effective, there must be established trust, a willingness to be vulnerable and a commitment to be authentic. I work with those seeking for a more balanced sense of themselves. My style is direct, transparent, insight-oriented and Psychodynamic. I use cognitive behavioral techniques and evidence based practices to help clients achieve their goals of working through depression, managing anxiety, replenishing caregiver-burnt out and coping with life stress. I am a family educator and also believe a sense of humor (when appropriate), is necessary for this line of work. Certified SoulCollage® facilitator.

You are stressed out, and overwhelmed by the fast-paced Bay Area professional hustle. Underneath you wake up with this aching feeling that "you are never good enough." You try to supress, and rationalize this feeling away by checking out, working hard, and distracting yourself from all the stress and anxiety you carry. To deal with all this you disconnect, rationalize, and analyze your feelings. Your partners compain that you are "emotionally unavailable" or "detached." Deep down you can't sit with uncertainty, or your feelings. You realized you NEED to change and need help NOW. You can no longer live like and you would like relief.
