I help anxious clients who want to build healthy relationships and meaningful lives .

I treat individuals and couples with relationship issues including addiction using Schema therapy, ACT, and Gottman methods.

I work with psychiatrists, physicians and support 12 step groups.

Small shifts in what you do can help you get unstuck and make profound changes in your experiences. Self-agency and self-management should be the rewards of therapy. When we work together, you can learn to appreciate how you have formed yourself and how to form new behaviors to alter patterns that no longer serve you. You may be experiencing difficulty in an existing relationship or in forming relationships, struggling with unwanted feelings and thoughts or facing a significant change in your life. These situations may leave you feeling scared, overwhelmed and helpless.

I work with adolescents, adults, couples, looking to improve their lives, reduce anxiety and depression, let go of old patterns of behaviors and improve their relationships. My approach is warm, supportive, compassionate, but direct. Therapy is a healing and exploratory process that necessitates participation, honesty & vulnerability. It requires work. But if your goals include making purposeful change to self-defeating behaviors and to be crystal clear with who you are and what you want, we can make life-altering changes together.

If you overwhelmed, run down, irritable, sad or depressed, you are not alone. At times we find ourselves worn down by the weight of everything. Somatic Experiencing and EMDR, when used in combination with psychotherapy can help you to restore your resiliency and capacity and support you to feel like your self once again.

Welcome. If you have found yourself here you are probably looking for relief. My passion and experience focuses around helping others find clarity and balance. We each have different histories, needs, patterns of thinking, and struggles. All of us develop strategies of protecting ourselves that have been useful in the past but have become outdated. It's important that we move toward ways that currently work; that help guide us toward the most peace and happiness possible. Guiding individuals toward getting to know, accept, and thrive in one's own self and in relationship is something I am dedicated to.

I have worked with adults, predominantly licensed professionals and executives and their partners work through challenging dynamics in both their personal and professional lives. Finding the motivation to create change and capitalizing on that motivation is essential to enhancing awareness and acceptance of life's struggles. You don't have to suffer to get your needs met, you just need to be open to a different way of approaching your current and past issues. I have no judgment for how you have survived to date but nothing changes if nothing changes. I'm here to collaborate with you to do things differently. I support you implicitly

Are you dealing with a life transition, chronic illness, caregiver stress, recent loss or struggling with unhealthy habits? Are you feeling overwhelmed, confused or depressed? Are you feeling burnt-out or out of balance? As a Health Psychologist my approach integrates mind, body and spirit. I offer a warm, non-judgemental setting to explore what values are most important to you, what keeps you from honoring your values and taking good care of yourself. Together we will develop strategies to get your life back on track. I offer in-person appointments in San Anselmo or video appointments for residents anywhere in California.

Did you grow up in an unstable household with challenging parents? Do you struggle with holding boundaries and saying no? Do you feel like you keep repeating negative patterns in relationships? I work with adults/couples who struggle with anxiety, trauma, family/partner relationship issues and consequences of childhood abuse and neglect. My specialty is in working with adult children of narcissistic/borderline parents and how early childhood experiences affect the individual’s adult relationships. Additionally, I help clients improve communication, build healthy relationships, set healthy boundaries and advocate for their needs.

The roadblocks and challenges we all long to avoid often contain hidden gold. We can find this valuable treasure when we learn to relate to our pain differently. In my work I help my clients learn to release unnecessary suffering and meet the difficulties they cannot change. This brings an increased capacity for happiness. I help my clients release the need for perfection and move instead towards wholeness and completeness - holding both the joy and sorrow of life. When we learn to hold our 'broken' places with compassion, we feel more whole.

Are you struggling in your relationship? Still healing from childhood wounds, or on the border between breaking down and breaking through? Do you know you have powerful gifts to offer but find yourself blocked? I am here to help you find the fertile, solid ground inside yourself from which you can nurture a life and relationships in which you wholeheartedly thrive. My approach to psychotherapy with couples and individuals is collaborative and unique to each client, but one element remains core: creating a foundation of respect, trust, transparency, and loving-kindness from which real growth and change can occur.
