Do you feel like you are not like yourself anymore? Are your relationships suffering now because you're lost? It can be confusing, frustrating, and painful. Often times, the power of having a safe space to share what happened, feel the emotions, and notice the unhealthy beliefs have been overlooked. It can quickly become isolating and feeling misunderstood. It does not have to be. You can be yourself again and reach your full potential by seeking help as a start.

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in healing relationships. You may be feeling emotionally disconnected from your loved one right now and wondering "what's happening to us", "we used to spend more time together", "we used to talk more, laugh more". This is a normal feeling --- often times because of life changes (kids, career, relocation, family deaths) your relationship takes a back seat. Over the years, you evolve as an individual, you are not the same person you were when you entered into the relationship.

Hello, and welcome! Are you wanting to pursue a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life? You may be personally encountering challenges and transitions that are stressful, even overwhelming. Or perhaps you are struggling like the rest of humanity with uncertainity about the state of the world. These unprecedented times are creating both practical and existential crises for many. It is not uncommon to feel increased symptoms of stress, burn-out, anxiety, and depression. Yet ironically, it is often these trying periods that are rife with opportunity for exploration and change.

There are many reasons why people reach out for support and guidance from a professionally trained therapist. Though this step isn't always the easiest, it is often one of the best decisions a person can make as it is a huge act in self-care and taking charge of ones life. Finding the right match with your therapist is one of the most important elements of therapy and I will do my very best to help ensure that you are connected with other therapists who can help if I am not the right fit for you.

I have been providing treatment to adolescents and adults in the Bay Area since 2011. I view therapy as a collaborative process and feel strongly that treatment is most effective when individuals can share their feelings and thoughts openly. To that end, building a therapeutic relationship based on trust and mutual respect is vital to a successful outcome. I use a treatment approach that is warm and welcoming and try to remain authentic and accepting in sessions.

If things in your life or your child's life aren't going well, it can be difficult to know whether to get outside help. We can take a look at this question together and decide what would work best for you. I work with adolescents, children, and parents on issues related to anxiety, depression, family transitions, parenting challenges, underachievement, ADHD, trauma, and social skills. I take a strengths-based, active approach, thoughtfully integrating research-based treatments to help clients achieve their goals. When needed, I help youth, parents, and teachers find ways to work together more effectively to support a child's development.
