Welcome to my practice-Lifetree Psychotherapy. Let's identify what you're ready to shift, attract or release in your life. Are you experiencing a sense of unease or emotional fatigue? Is there anger or sadness in your primary relationship that needs to be expressed?Are you wanting to devote more attention to your dreams and aspirations? Together, we'll address what's going on for you, your work life and your most treasured relationships. This process often involves updating your perceptions, accessing greater self love and respect, and identifying what genuinely feels fulfills you. Reach out & set up a free 20 minute consultation.
Supporting people make choices that are aligned with their genuine well being is my life's work. Self esteem enhancement, couples counseling and parent/child teams are among my specialties.My background includes counseling art students at the San Francisco Art Institute, teaching graduate Psychology and providing clinical supervision to therapist in training
Taisen Deshimaru said "Think with the whole body". This quote captures my view of the innate wisdom of the body/mind. Throughout the years, I have been intrigued by how much information is revealed through the body's symptoms. My practice integrates mindfulness, humor, role play, solution focused techniques,various socio cultural perspectives and feedback!

All modalities are rooted in compassion and mindfulness. I work extensively with the concept of " Post Traumatic Growth" which pays special attention to the new thoughts, perspectives and insights that can occur after life's significant shifts and losses . All couples sessions are Intensives. The Couples Intensives are 75-90 min to allow grace and space for the expression needs of each partner.
