Carl Rogers wrote, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination.” If you’re looking to develop a practice for ‘the good life,’ I would be honored to work with you.

Are you smart and successful but feel stuck for some reason? Are you trying to develop better relationships, change career paths, or achieve personal or professional excellence? In a thought-partnering process of inquiry and personal discovery, I help you identify what you want and what is standing in your way, and focus on you taking action toward your vision, goals and desires while providing you structure, support and feedback. I am highly trained and devoted to helping you uncover important truths about yourself, your values, and your deepest wishes so you can maximize your personal and professional potential.

Are you unhappy in your current career or looking for a change of career ? Do you love your career but want to take it to the next level? Do you want to wake up looking forward to going to work? Are you unsure what is next for you, but you know some kind of change is needed? If you answered yes to any of these questions, contact me for a "I'm ready to re-envision my career session".

I believe everyone deserves some time to sit down with a strong listener and/or problem solver about their life. The feedback that I receive is, that I empathize & mirror the key issues quickly and help you brainstorm. I then help you get at "reframing" the negative situations and help you motivate and prioritize what is needed to do to actually change. I can work well with mood issues, chaos, panic, addictions and all relationship issues. Every session you should walk away with substantial suggestions to help in different areas. I also work with work career issues, parenting, and women with breast cancer.

My job is to begin where you are and help you prepare for your next stage of change. I use an integrative approach, working from the inside out (objects relations, family systems, cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, others) to support your process and movement. We all start with assumptions about life. Then life happens, and we have to begin again having been changed. Loss becomes growth as we embrace new and mature understanding of ourselves and life. I am a clinical psychologist with over 10 years experience working with complicated but interesting people who are addressing individual, relationship, life, and spiritual issues.

Leveraging my leadership training at Stanford and Wharton-San Francisco, I work with highly motivated individuals on career and leadership issues who seek to deepen their sense of meaning and purpose through their work. I develop an action plan tailored to your unique strengths, interests, and skills by using career assessments and innovative leadership theory. I create a supportive, and interactive environment where you can explore your career goals, obstacles to achieving career goals and chart a path towards greater fulfillment.

Are you struggling with grief, anxiety, depression, or a tough life transition? Are you a healthcare provider burdened by workplace demands and job stress? I can help you.

Contact me to discuss how my background in healthcare, palliative care and psychotherapy may be helpful to you too!
