I combine LENS Neurofeedback with ancient wisdom, warmth and caring. Are you longing for someone positive to talk to who cares and understands? Someone who has experience with anxiety, ADHD, head trauma, PTSD, depression and finding your place in life and love? I can hold your issues and teach you mindfulness which brings happiness and relief. Days, evenings, some insurance.

I take a systemic, whole-person in-context view to my work. My approach is not one-size-fits-all, rather, we build our plan of care together. Your input on how we work together and where we go with that work is a huge part of the process. I openly acknowledge the inherent power dynamic in the therapeutic relationship, and work to shift that into true relational work - we work as a team. I strive to help you discover your innate capacity to heal, to grow, and am explicit about the methods I use in session to help bring about this capacity. Consent and open dialogue are essential to our work together.

I have worked with many patients over the years who have had multiple fears and anxieties that control their daily lives. Learning how to have mastery over fears so that the fears do not control us is an important part of therapy. Sometimes personal fears cause conflicts in relationships with significant others. Learning how to support and care for each other is especially important during the present global pandemic because our fears can be real and they affect us in different ways. I encourage grace and kindness when dealing with one another. Be slow to anger and pour kindness into misunderstandings.

"Truly, it is in darkness that one finds the light, so when we are in sorrow, then this light is nearest of all to us." - Meister Echkart. I am an integral psychotherapist who specializes in working with adult individuals and couples. My approach is person-centered, and I believe that clients benefit most from the truth that they, themselves, discover. My training is grounded in transpersonal psychotherapy, which is informed by depth psychology, existential/humanistic perspectives, and perennial philosophy.

I offer therapy for women experiencing issues with anxiety, panic attacks, ADHD, and trauma. I also offer testing for men and women for ADHD, ASD, and clarifying diagnoses. Perhaps you're struggling to do daily activities because anxiety gets in the way, or you live in fear of experiencing panic attacks or trauma triggers. Or maybe you're so disorganized, you're struggling to complete important tasks. I will meet you exactly where you are in your journey, providing a compassionate and safe environment where we work together to process your experiences and develop the tools needed to relieve stress and live life more fully.

Growing up, we are exposed to many spoken and unspoken messages about our inherent worth, and what it takes to secure love and approval in our families and cultures. These self-beliefs, often unconscious to us, manifest in our nonverbal body language: the way we walk, talk, and own space in the world.

Talking to someone who truly listens can be life-changing. You may have clear ideas about what is troubling you or a general sense that things could be better. I work well with people who are motivated to to deepen self-understanding. My approach is collaborative, exploring new ways of thinking while attending to underlying feelings. Working together, you can gain more freedom in your life and have more satisfaction in areas of self-esteem, relationships, work and play.

Common themes that I address in my practice are anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, obsessive thoughts, PTSD/ trauma, LGBTQ+, gender & identity concerns, substance use & addiction, grief & loss, and anger, intimacy and sexuality. I take an integral approach to support my clients with exploring the connections that are not readily seen. I listen very deeply to what you want and encourage you to take steps to obtain that.

My objective is to make your life better now and into the future. Therapists helped me over the years, taught and inspired me to become one. I pivoted to my career as a therapist 16 years after earning a B.A. in Economics at University of Chicago. I earned my LCSW at Smith College. I'm a mother of two and a first-generation child of immigrants. In my practice I want you to make the most of your time with me. I work with a range of clients, from executives to college students. My office is tucked into hills and trees. Clients are from my town, Mill Valley, Sausalito, Kentfield, Tiburon, San Francisco and the South Bay. I Zoom too.

Thought leader in mental health and high performance Assistance in Performance and Sport Psychology.

Benefit from my 30 years of experience as a clinical and sport psychologist, we will work together to help you to improve your work or general life and/or sport experience.

I am a relational somatic therapist, which means that being real matters and the relationship that develops between us is important. Part of the process of therapy is buidling trust and cultivating an alliance. The work I will assist you with involves a sincere effort to go inside yourself and uncover what you're actually experiencing, and then communicate that. We can discuss your difficulties and identify how you can influence them.

My ideal client would be someone is interested to improve his/her thinking, emotional state and general functioning. My ideal client would also be someone who is open and motivated for change and to become the best version him/herself them/themselves.

I take an active role in helping you find your way back onto a path of meaningful direction. While I respect the need to create space and allow for silence and trust building I also don't sit on the side lines. I am there to help you find out what it is that is "wrong" and provide evidence based modalities or paths out of that particular issue. I like using the tools of cognitive behavioral therapy while also helping a person find kindness for themselves in identifying where the problem patterns originated. I have expertise in grief, couples work, recovery and co-dependency as well anxiety and depression. See my website for more.

You're too hard on yourself. Others tell you this and you've thought "it's just how I am." And now you've found yourself caring more for others than yourself and still your inner voice is negative and critical - which causes low mood & motivation, isolation, anxiety, relationship distress, trauma triggering & coping habits that actually worsen things. I would like to introduce you to the kind coach inside yourself. In 15 years of practice it's clear to me: the barriers to healing and happiness are linked to our inner voice. Changing from critical to kind, changes everything. Let's help you uncover and love your best self!

Thank you for taking the time for yourself to understand how therapy can help aid and assist you at this time in your life. I hope that I can give you a sense of myself and style and how I may be a good fit in supporting you in such a process. In my private practice, I specialize in working with individual adults, older teens, and couples. I practice from a psychodynamic and relational modality in which I am mindful of where you come from and the ways in which you have learned to adapt to each environment and relationship around you, including the relationship that we form. Mindfulness is a lens through which I practice as well.

Wholeness, Celebration, Joy, Dignity, Compassion are fundamental qualities of a life truly lived. Discovering who we are is our birthright. But we must walk our path to discover ourselves and go on the hero and heroine’s journey that asks us to step into the unknown, relinquish the things we know we must let go of and claim the truth we know is ours. By being our unique selves, our lives flourish and the world is a better place. Making your dreams come alive means being uniquely you. You’ll be able to say, This is my life, I’m taking it seriously and enjoying it! And yes, you can learn to say out loud and mean it: I love myself!
