Psychotherapy is an effective way to make sense of the complexity in life’s journey. I am committed to working in a trusting, creative, dynamic, and caring process that helps you achieve your goals.
As a Californian, I have always deeply valued our varied and wonderful communities. I approach therapy by working together in a collaborative process tailored to meet your needs. The result can be profound understanding about how you make sense of yourself and others in your life, and how to change the ways you impact your world.
My aim is to soften harsh self-judgment, allowing for fuller understanding and meaningful growth.
Nearly 40 years’ of experience with diverse peoples and modalities allows me to draw on several appropriate therapeutic approaches for your issues. I have worked with people from varied cultures, races, genders, sexualities, meeting the unique needs of each individual. As a senior myself, I appreciate the opportunity to provide care for my peers.
Many of us experience trauma, grief, fear, anxiety, depression, anger, guilt, and shame. Fortunately, these challenges are a portal to self-knowledge and growth.
It takes courage to reach for help, rather than shut down, numb and disconnect. If therapy sounds like it could be useful to you, let’s talk to see if we work well together.
