My clients come from diverse backgrounds and are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and substance abuse.

They engage in counseling to understand themselves and appreciate their innate goodness and well being. They seek contentment and an experience of inner freedom

Are you struggling with relationships, self-worth, boundaries, chronic health issues, motivation, purpose, anxiety, or depression? Do you long to deeply understand yourself so you can live a more connected and fulfilling life? Would you like to feel more loving and accepting of yourself, including parts of yourself you've rejected or felt shame about? I offer an empowering therapeutic process that helps you find more of your own inner wisdom and self-love. With compassion and acceptance we will explore the ways that your beliefs, old survival strategies, and unresolved emotions block you from what you most deeply desire.

I specialize in working with adult individuals with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and work issues, though it is my privilege to work with a wide range of people.

Thinking about writing this profile, I wanted to make it simple........I'm an old-fashioned therapist with great boundaries and carefully-monitored ethics. Then I thought you might want to know more about me and my style of therapy! I bring warmth, sometimes humor, to our work together. I'm a good listener......I won't fall asleep or interrupt to discuss my own agenda. I won't tell you to divorce your spouse or to stop compulsively overeating. I will help you find your own solutions and offer support as you take, sometimes very challenging, steps towards healing.

Life satisfaction is mostly about relationship, don't you agree? I help people have emotionally open and compassionate relationships both with themselves and with others. I work with individuals and couples on this. Individually, so much of life satisfaction and personal effectiveness is based on how well you understand yourself (mindfulness), how you treat yourself (compassion), and how you advocate for your desires. With others, relationships are built through mutually respectful listening and co-creating mutually delightful interactions. I see relationship as a spiritual path.

If you feel hopeless or unsupported, or you feel depressed or anxious...or if your husband or wife or partner isn't willing or able to talk about problems, I offer professional, supportive, empathic, and good-humored help. I'm a psychologist, researcher, and former clinical supervisor and professor at The Wright Institute, in Berkeley, California, who helps adults and teens facing difficulties and dilemmas, and couples with low to high conflict, including infidelity, who may want to save--or simply improve--their relationship.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficult life transitions by helping them to turn their challenges into sources of individual growth and strength. I use a Psychodynamic/Integrative approach, utilizing Mindfulness, Cognitive therapies, Imaginal/Dreamwork, and EMDR. My areas of focus include Grief and Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Panic disorders and Midlife Transitions. I also have specific experience with Cult Recovery and Spiritual Crisis issues. I offer online and phone sessions for anyone who would like to work with me from their home, and have found this to be an extremely beneficial platform for therapy.

As a therapist with 40 years of experience, I've helped hundreds of people overcome their challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, difficulty finding the right life partner, or loss and grief resulting from a separation or death, I have the counseling skills and experience to help you solve your problems. You don't have to feel stressed from repeating old patterns that no longer work. Counseling with me can bring more joy and fulfillment into your life. I'm also specialized in and love working with couples. In addition I am trained in EMDR, a protocol for resolving trauma.

Sometimes it is helpful to talk to a professional, to gain perspective or hear a different point of view. In my virtual office you can be free to express private thoughts and feelings, in a safe, non-judgemental, confidential manner. With compassion, encouragement and humor, I will help you examine the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that contribute to the current distress in your life, and to offer suggestions on how to make changes.

Accepting New Clients! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have about 8 years of experience with adult individuals, couples, adolescents and families in agency settings and private practice. I like working with adults and mature teens with a variety of mental health and relationship concerns. I have a relaxed, relational approach, and practice from a person-centered basis. I seek to know those that I see at a deep level, and believe that everyone is capable of understanding and changing aspects of themselves given a positive and supportive therapy environment. I strive to instill hope and promote personal growth and healing.

Growth and healing is often a process of rebuilding a sense of self, self-worth, shifting patterns and creating new, healthy ways of thinking.

As a multi-modal therapist, I use an array of interventions and tools, partnering with you to achieve your goals. Deep healing takes a lot of courage and I commend you on taking the first step!

Welcome! I am glad you are considering getting support as you gain clarity and confidence for your next steps. I am a professional counselor associate offering a caring and compassionate space for you to explore, heal, and change. I am committed offering actionable approaches to mental health and behavior change to help transform your life. If you are looking for someone to help with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict or feel like you just need help figuring things out, I offer individual and couples counseling focused on your needs.

Existing in the world today is challenging on its own, now add depression, anxiety, panic attacks, interpersonal and family relationship concerns, money and health issues, etc. This makes daily functioning sometimes seem like an impossible task. It is within my personal belief that every individual has the ability to manage these symptoms and thrive in the world, we just sometimes need additional support. This is where therapy comes in. I provide a nonjudgemental approach to helping my clients achieve overall wellness so that happiness and joy don't just feel like a distant thought.

My psychological counseling approach is an in depth, psychodynamic, very engaged therapeutic relationship that addresses the body/mind connection both verbally and somatically. It is known in medical research that we hold our feelings in our body and as stress and tension build up, we have problems and symptoms that respond to therapeutic intervention. When our emotions go unheard, unexpressed, or even unfelt, our symptoms can worsen over time, developing our personal and interpersonal problems and often actual disease and disorders - such as pain, insomnia, muscle tensions, and indigestion.

Now accepting new individual clients & couples - both in person & virtually. Choosing a therapist who best meets your needs can be daunting. Ideally, this person is experienced and competent in your areas of concern, and their therapeutic style & personality make them well suited to match your preferences & comfort level. I offer a free consultation to help you decide if you would like to embark on this journey with me. My perspective is informed by a humanistic, bio-psycho-social worldview & a long practice of mindfulness. Change starts with curiosity that leads to greater awareness, which - in turn - reveals healthier choices.
