Feeling stuck in old patterns, and needing support? Are depression and anxiety becoming too overwhelming to bear? Seeking deeper meaning and satisfaction in your life, but are unsure of how to attain it? I provide a safe and non-judgmental container where we will explore and honor the unique parts of you, helping you navigate through your fears and belief systems, and uncovering your true authentic self. I have experience working with many different ages, backgrounds, and identities, including teens, couples, and LGBTQI populations. I work relationally, helping to build your emotional and physical awareness, in the present moment.

I specialize in attachment theory, addictions& addiction related issues (like codependency). I also enjoy working with premarital couples/couples wanting to strengthen communication skills or rebuild trust within their relationship. Caregivers were the first to teach us how to relate to others. Healthy relationships are often not modeled for us & we wonder why the same troubled patterns repeat. I can help you gain insight into these patterns & work together to have healthier relationships. My goal is to get to know you, establish a strong connection, and provide a safe space to begin your healing journey together.

Do you have pride in coming from tough circumstances before finding your way out? Accomplishment came out of your hard work and survival skills. To your surprise, you didn't didn't leave the past behind and find real contentment or successful relationships the way you wanted. Lack of trust in the world and others is still there. The ability to know your needs (um, I have needs?) and stay connected to yourself (ahem, feelings) is shot. Outwardly you're capable, though privately feel sensitive and alone. I help clients see how their background impacts how they relate to themselves and others.

Most of us want the same thing: to be happy. If you are on this website, you are most likely experiencing some discomfort - mental, physical, emotional - and have realized this truth — that sometimes it's hard to go it alone. You may be facing tenacious challenges like loneliness, illness, ADHD, anxiety, loss, low self-esteem, less-than-satisfying relationships, body/food conflicts, procrastination and parenting issues. If so, having someone who knows the terrain makes for a more successful outcome.

Are you experiencing: relationship issues, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck?

We are an innovative community of unconventional, yet comprehensively trained, psychotherapists providing practical, non-reductive, and in-depth support to help you overcome adversities, resolve outdated patterns, craft more fulfilling relationships, achieve your mental health goals—and address the traumas, stressors, burdens, and conflicts that hold you back from enjoying what your life and relationships have to offer. In general, we foster a holistic and integrative approach to mental health care that focuses on what works and is not limited to what has traditionally been practiced.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just going through the motions without much joy? Have you been trying to help yourself, but only finding superficial relief? Are you ready to delve into what’s really bothering you - to name it clearly, understand why it’s happening, and work toward lasting change? Often when we examine symptoms or responses that are causing us distress, we discover that they actually serve important functions. From this perspective, we can develop a kinder, more balanced internal dialogue and focus less on protecting ourselves from pain and more on living a full, authentic life.

I have great compassion for the human struggle and I don't want you to feel alone with it.... It's far easier with another person who cares and understands. I've spent my whole life studying psychology: Formally, at Stanford (BA), at UC Berkeley (MA, PhD), and ongoing Continuing Education; informally, from colleagues, clients, and 20+ years in private practice. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. I'm open, empathic, authentic, interested and interactive. I like helping people with relationship difficulties, life transitions, anxiety, grief, self-criticism, social inhibitions, and emotional trauma, abuse, or neglect.

Are you feeling anxious or down? Are you unsure about the future of a relationship, or wondering why you find yourself repeating the same patterns and behaviors? Therapy is a collaborative process of self-discovery and personal growth. I focus on helping my clients through the development of greater self-understanding, self-awareness and self-acceptance.

I am passionate about supporting my clients to unlock a more genuine experience of themselves. Together, we will work to cultivate awareness, courage, confidence and steadiness in your life. I work with people who want to find clarity, a sense of aliveness, and to heal from both the bruises and scars that life sometimes creates. I can help you discover a deeper understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your purpose in the world.

Brené Brown said it best when she wrote, "Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen." As a licensed psychologist, I cultivate a supportive and affirming relationship through which my clients feel safe to dig deep, explore and reflect on what is important to them. I support my clients in gaining self-knowledge and awareness in order to create more meaningful connections in their lives and engage with authenticity in the world around them. My approach is collaborative and my therapeutic style is warm, inviting, and focused on goals that matter to you!

With a kind heart and open mind, I strive to make therapy a comfortable place where you can explore the deepest insights about yourself with compassion and empathy. Therapy is a place to reinstill hope and better navigate life. Using a three prong approach that integrates past, present and future we can create a full picture to heal, solve problems and reach your goals. Together we will build on your strengths, find helpful coping skills with evidence based tools and help you learn about yourself.

Tired of feeling hurt in your relationships? Wow, things can get confusing and overwhelming so quickly! It is my job and my pleasure to help turn the tensions and pain you're experiencing into opportunities for growth and expansion. If you are ready to make changes and open to new possibilities, now is the time. I work with couples and individuals. We will find the nourishment within the pain while not losing track of what feels good...laughter is not uncommon in my office.

My focus is to develop a relationship with the client. This is called the two person model which is different than the old fashion practice where the doctor is one up and the client is one down. Rather, the two person model attempts to understand the client through questions and mutual discussion. I am not a silent therapist. I give feedback and remain fully engaged with the patient. Together we build a rapport. I adhere to a humanistic approach.
