"*Please note: I see clients in person in the Bay Area (CA) and work with clients in New York via telehealth.* There is a time when we reflect and decide it is time for a change. Taking steps toward that change is a process, and it does not have to be daunting. Many of life's challenges propel us toward seeking help, whether it's related to our relationships, career or self perceptions and how we fit into our world. Finding our path and achieving our goals are vital in obtaining happiness and satisfaction in life. I want to help you get there."

I am willing to walk beside you as you heal and develop new productive ways to cope.. I also enjoy working with couples that feel like they have very little left in the tank to save their relationship. I also enjoy working with couples that just need a tune-up. In todays society depression and anxiety have increased, amongst teenagers and adults. In my practice I help individuals deal with their fears that cause them to be afraid and not love themselves for who they are. "

"Are you struggling with the long-term effects of trauma on your daily life? Do you feel like your mood, hopelessness, or anxiety is getting in the way of making goals and meaningful experiences?

"You feel like you’re drowning in the midst of all the big changes going on in your life. You feel alone and long to deeply connect with others, but you often end up feeling disappointed, unseen, used, or heartbroken. You’re overwhelmed with the transitions happening in your life and the confusing emotions going on inside of you, but you beat yourself up for being "too sensitive”. You’re working so hard to have a successful career and fulfilling relationships, but you never feel like you’re enough. You just want to feel better but you don't know where to begin."

"I believe we all want a sense of satisfaction in life. Somewhere along the way we may create false beliefs, stories and exhibit maladaptive behaviors all with positive intention. But in reality, we are further disconnecting us from our true selves in the process. Helping my clients to be gentle and compassionate towards themselves and exploring the ways they learned to cope, adapt and respond to the world is the first step towards recovering their true selves. Then the journey of awareness, introspection and healing can begin."

"Feeling like you're not being heard, understood or valued in your marriage? Does family conflict feel impossible to resolve? You're not alone.

My research and experience has been focused on helping individuals, couples and families clearly identify the stumbling blocks that keep them stuck in unhealthy relational patterns. Childhood experiences, trauma and abuse are a few examples of these stumbling blocks."

"I work with women who are going through life transitions. Sometimes this includes problems with their relationships, their identity, anxiety and depression, spiritual issues, and grief. They long to feel good enough and to love themselves. Often times, they have a hard time living up to others’ expectations, and perhaps, even their own. My clients seek to improve their lives and benefit from a space where they can work through some of the underlying issues that are holding them back. "
