I have been a psychotherapist for adults and adolescents for over 20 years. People come to me to deal with painful feelings and difficulties in living, and to improve their sense of well-being. Many of the clients I see have relationship issues, depression, anxiety or low self-esteem. Living in Silicon Valley brings its own set of problems, which I am particularly interested in. Some people are unclear what troubles them, but are unhappy with their lives.
I do both brief and long-term psycho-dynamic psychotherapy, depending on the circumstances. I see adults and teens individually and do consultation with parents. Before the first session, it's helpful to have a short telephone consultation.
Choosing a therapist can be difficult. Feeling accepted and respected is key to a successful therapy. By choosing a person you trust, you can explore your feelings and identify unproductive patterns of thinking and behaving. Our goal is to work together to help you lead a more satisfying life.
