Are you feeling stuck with a problem that doesn't seem to be getting any better? I have been providing therapy to adult individuals and couples for over 25 years. Therapy can be a place where you can bring about enormous change in your life. I can help you learn how to create the change you are seeking. I offer a safe, understanding, and supportive therapeutic environment. I specialize in working with anxiety conditions, and other important areas of my practice include depression, relationship conflicts, trauma, and concerns that stem from separation and divorce, parenting, and mid-life transitions.

We each possess a great wellspring of aliveness, which yearns to come forth and express itself, no matter what long-held beliefs act to constrict its expression. I see the process of therapy as both loosening the knots of old beliefs and finding ways to tap into this aliveness, in order to live a more authentic and satisfying life. When working with clients, I use an approach that is relational and collaborative, helping clients make the best use of the strengths they bring to therapy. My work incorporates experiential, somatic, EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques.

Are you at a place in your life where you know things are not as satisfying as they could be? Do you enjoy life less than you did before? I can help. I help people get through difficult times in their lives. I believe everyone has the potential to successfully meet life's challenges and will collaborate with you to achieve the life you want. I can help you untangle those emotional knots by exploring with you those issues that may be interfering with the life you deserve to have.

Sometimes in life we may feel overwhelmed by internal and or external circumstances, feeling helpless and unable to pursue our course in life. Counseling can help us work through our difficulties so we can again feel a sense of agency over our lives. I enjoy working with adolescents and adults affected by grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, relational obstacles, and life transitions as well as various other presenting concerns.

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Feeling like talking with someone to get some relief and support? You have taken an important first step in finding a therapist that's right for you. I work with children, adolescents, parents, and adults who are experiencing issues related to anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief and relationship struggles. I am here to help you face these challenges in a comfortable and nurturing way.

Finding a safe place to process pain is crucial. I work with individual adults, teens, families and couples to overcome emotional difficulties and enhance their ability to connect with self and others.

Online support via phone or Zoom for individuals and groups for coping with the coronavirus pandemic. We are in this together and I can help you to feel less anxious, and more resilient and connected. I also help successful women and couples. Women, everyone believes you have it all together, but inside you know differently. Stress hits at the worst moments. A rude coworker or a nasty comment from your partner shatters you. At home your romance needs a tune up. But you don’t have the confidence to rock the boat. I help women just like you rediscover their strength and intuition and live bigger, more powerful lives!

There are points in life where you may ask yourself if the path you're on is leading you where you need to be going. You may be asking yourself questions like: "Is this the best I can expect from my marriage?" "Is this what I'm supposed to be doing with my life?" "Is the work I'm doing the work I was born to be doing?" I will work with you both to get answers to these questions and to more fully accept the answers you receive.

Relief from your anxiety, depression, and trauma will be the first step. My goal for you goes beyond this: to begin to live the life that you already know deep down you could be living. One free of guilt and self doubt, one full of the confidence that you might sometimes feel, but often eludes you. If you are reading this there's a good chance that you or someone you know is struggling. You may have struggled for a long time. Relief from anxiety, depression and trauma are very real and very possible. You should feel good that you are taking this step towards your goals. I offer video sessions.

Hi, I'm a child therapist in the East Bay Area open nights and weekends for your convenience. I work with kids from age 6 to 19. I've been working with children and families for 10 years, and continue to do so as a school therapist and child / family therapist in my private practice. Are you tired of hearing from the school about your child's behavior? Are you overwhelmed by the IEP system? My experience in both the private and public school systems can help you navigate some of those waters. You're not a child? No worries, I work with adults too. Couples trying to work out the idea of having kids, or families working through issues

I offer holistic solution-oriented counseling and coaching with respect for your potential and the ideal you desire to live. I offer education and inspiration, practical creative solutions and options for you to consider to live your ideal life. I coach you in undoing sabotaging strategies, limiting beliefs and negative habits with effective tools and home work.. Our work together will validate what works for you and eliminate what is ineffective. With information, motivation and practical tools, you will experience an "immediate difference" in how you choose to relate, communicate and live what you desire everyday.

Are you yearning to release feelings of hopelessness, overwhelm or helplessness? Are you seeking to transform a current situation or relationship? Do you need support as you start blending families or as you navigate the process of divorce? Would an experienced therapist be helpful to your adolescent and your family as you collectively address teenage addiction?

Is your child experiencing challenging behaviors? Have you or a family member had a recent stressful event or transition? Having trouble with intense emotional responses or reactions? Has there been a trauma that is causing anxiety or upset in your family? Families can become overwhelmed by stage-of-life transitions, can be at a loss as to how to help their intensely emotional children, or address the special and behavioral needs of individual family members or children. I will help you assess and plan for these special needs and develop a family behavior plan that targets specific areas for positive change.

We can all use an un-biased, confidential person to talk with. Throughout life, everyone experiences periods of stress, grief & sadness, go through breakups, endure family & parental stress, or struggle with pressures at work. Sometimes we may need extra support navigating through, and adjusting to life changes. In therapy, we will work as a team to facilitate your treatment goals with a solution focused approach. We will nurture your emotional & social well-being, increasing personal growth and self-acceptance, while gaining a stronger sense of personal self-worth, life satisfaction, and increasing the ability in maintaining healthy relationships.

After a long and diverse career, I am choosing to focus on clients who are experiencing suffering due to grief, loss, caregiving a loved one or transitioning into a new phase of life. I have a deep understanding of the emotional dysregulation that is caused by these experiences and hope to teach others the skills needed to lessen suffering and reduce stress and to stay present.

Your struggles with anxiety, depression, your relationship is too much. With anxiety you're feeling overwhelmed and you often end up avoiding the one thing you most want to do. With depression you have no motivation and if you force yourself to do something you feel like you'll end up regretting it. You want to be able to do "normal" things with enjoyment and without struggling through it, without feeling like you don't fit in. You want to have a close, supportive relationship but can't seem to make or keep the connections going.
