Welcome new clients! Thanks for visiting my page. I am now taking many forms of insurance! I understand that in these difficult times, many of us are worried, sad, and angry. I get it. The support of friends, family, and a knowledgable, kindred-spirited clinician can make a difference now more than ever. It's time to resist, stay grounded and ensure one's mental and physical well being are well tended, so that we can collectively survive Trump's America. We can't do this alone. Let me support you in life’s journey and help you find meaning and hope. I welcome folks of all ages and life stages, including teens and young adults.
I'm a long time Californian and resident of the Bay Area. I get it. I'll help you process symptoms of anxiety, depression, guilt, and shame. We will also laugh a bit along the way. It is possible to learn new coping skills at any age! I also offer specialized services for the LGBT community, including transgender and nonbinary children, teens and adults.
I love being a therapist and believe in the ability of all people to change, no matter what life stage you are in. There are always reasons to be hopeful in what life can bring, in what we can create. I am very flexible in my approach, and offer weekly or bi-weekly appointments, when I have availability. Together, we can make change happen! You deserve it.

I utilize a relational style of therapy, which most clients find comfortably conversational. Elements of other modalities I use include motivational interviewing and DBT, and come from an LGBT inclusive, social justice oriented approach. I am skilled in helping clients recognize maladaptive patterns of behaviors as well as figuring out what serves you in life, what doesn't-and what to do about it
