Let's Connect (415) 481-3968

I believe we all have rich, inner worlds fueled by confidence, compassion and curiosity. When trauma or early relationship disturbances disconnect us from this, symptoms of depression or anxiety arise. My goal is to hear my clients’ stories, honing in on the gems that are buried there to guide them back to their core selves. With empathy and respect, I work with my clients to create, in Marsha Linehan’s words, a life worth living.

While our brains are shaped by key events, we can rewire them and reclaim our power. I love supporting clients - adults, adolescents and couples - identify parts of themselves that have got stuck in the past and then guiding them to heal. We collaborate to find the approach that works best for them.

I am deeply grateful for my experiences as a mother, a wife, a daughter, a sister, an author, and a business owner - all of which inform my psychotherapy practice today. Above all, I practice Carl Rogers’ theory of unconditional positive regard and his belief that “when I accept myself just as I am, then I change.”

I work with many clients (individuals, couples and families) who struggle with depression or anxiety related to childhood trauma or family relationships. The first few sessions are spent getting to know you and your history. Then we collaborate on a plan to help you achieve your therapy goals. Next comes the work! Most clients experience a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first few months.

While I collaborate with my clients to find the approach that works best for them, I lean toward trauma-informed care, focusing on the questions, "what happened to you?" vs "what's wrong with you?" and "what is your behavior trying to tell me?" I support my clients in identifying maladaptive thoughts and behaviors and transforming them into healthier ones.
