As a psychotherapist with over 10 years of counseling experience in the Bay Area I have come to appreciate the importance of humor and honesty in developing a therapeutic relationship that encourages positive life changes. I work hard to develop a comfortable and safe space for my clients to identify and address barriers to progress in their personal and professional lives. When we are honest with ourselves, I think we so often find that our most ardent critic and obstacle to living a fulfilling and happy life is ourselves.
I specialize in the treatment of substance abuse/addiction, anxiety/depression, low self-esteem, and those struggling with intimacy and interpersonal connection. I find that I have had the best results with individuals who are struggling with self-defeating behavior and are ready to make healthier life changes.
It has been a great privilege to obtain my education and counseling experience in the Bay Area with a great diversity in client experiences, cultures, and beliefs. This experience has contributed to my non-judgmental and compassionate approach with clients.
