Great to meet you!

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed by feelings of stress, anxiety, or sadness? Burdened by problems in your relationships? While pain in life is unavoidable, trying to manage this pain on your own can make things more difficult.

Since getting my graduate degree from UC Berkeley 25 years ago, I've worked with adults from diverse backgrounds seeking help with a range of issues. I specialize in the treatment of stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems. Welcome to my practice!

My approach to therapy

I create a space for my clients that's safe, free of judgment, and unconditionally supportive. This way, you'll be more comfortable talking openly about what's brought you to therapy. And I understand that you are the expert on your life, so we'll work collaboratively to address the issues you face so that you can get back on track and move in a direction that's aligned with your goals and values.

What you can expect from me

In the early stages of therapy, we'll decide on some strategies designed to give you some relief, and help you better manage the problems you face. We'll also focus on your goals and values, and what a meaningful life looks like for you. And when you're ready, I'll encourage you to commit to taking specific actions that will move you in the direction of a life that's aligned with your goals and values.

Feeling uncertain about what to do next? I understand that finding a therapist is not easy. How about booking a free 15 minute consultation with me so that you can decide if I'm the right therapist for you? I hope to speak with you!
