This includes areas of community mental health, private practice, residential facilities, foster care, county mental health, juvenile hall, schools, substance abuse and chemical dependency,
adults
with severe and persistent mental illness, and crisis intervention.
As human beings we learn, develop meaning, and create a sense of purpose through each other and the relationships we form. In the same spirit I believe the therapeutic process is driven by the relationship formed between the client and the therapist. This is why my approach in therapy is guided by the question - "How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for their personal growth?" I strive to create an empathic, nonjudgmental atmosphere where you feel safe and empowered to work toward personal growth and creating lasting change; forming trust and leaning toward vulnerability.

Most people are pleasantly surprised with the relief and energy that comes from beginning! I will walk you through your beginning and answer any questions you may have about the process of counseling and psychotherapy. I am licensed by the Board of Behavioral Sciences as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. Feel free to call or email with any questions you may have. I look forward to talking to you.

Living in the Bay Area we often get caught up running so fast, we lose sight of the changes, both good and bad, happening in the course of life.

Maybe you feel like life events have stressed and overwhelmed your ability to cope, and you would like extra support and guidance through a challenging situation. Whether you are in a life-transition, looking for better self-understanding, wanting to improve your relationships, facing a challenging situation, or dealing with a crisis, How can I help you?

Based on my ample work experience I feel comfortable working with
adults
or with children using conservative talking therapy as well as more creative approaches such as art or play therapy.
Most of us, if not all of us, come to a point in life where we need to regain our balance and redefine our goals. I know so because I have seen my clients, friends, and myself in such situations. By working together with you, I can help you to focus, mobilize your inner strength and establish new strategies to overcome problems that have become apparent.
Topics that I handle (but I am not restricted to) are grief and trauma coping, relationship or family issues, anger management, and cultural or generational conflicts.

We use art, shared storytelling, mindfulness, homemade journals, conversational & formal psychological assessment - and close, accurate listening to the immediate experience of children and the
adults
who are meaningful in their lives to gain clear, comprehensive, contextual understanding of their issues, neurodevelopmental status, & underlying contributing factors.
Are you concerned for your children in an ongoing high conflict divorce or another highly distressing situation? I consult, support, offer parent/child coping strategies to prevent longterm effects of severe stress & trauma for children/affected others. Even the youngest can demonstrate remarkable resilience. We attend to their confusion, impaired awareness, degree of distorted cognition. Parents cultivate enhanced attunement, insight, learn to see beyond children's distorted appraisal. We co-create more accurate thinking, safer, more healthy relationships, make space for more realistic understanding, provide predictability, constancy, enhanced trust, explore feelings, support emotional regulation, form new, hope-filled stories to replace frightening, traumatic ones.
