There is a way out. Those who come to see me are often at a crossroads, frustrated at how they are trying to deal with problems and seeking workable strategies and solutions to cope. Therapy is meant to be a space to feel welcome to talk about thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are problematic. Understanding unhealthy behaviors, frustrations with life, and/or unsuccessful efforts to cope can help reveal the obstacles that may block your path to growth and desired outcomes.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting adults navigating challenges related to anxiety, life transitions, depression, anger management, relational conflicts, work-life balance, addiction, grief and loss, low self-esteem, and issues related to gender and sexual orientation. My training is in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which enhances clients' awareness of the interplay between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. My overall approach is client-centered and collaborative, with an ongoing effort to tailor each session to each client's specific and unique needs. I’m here to provide a safe and supportive environment where my clients can be their true selves.
I am here for you. As a seasoned Therapist, I understand that embarking on the therapy journey can be scary and bring up numerous feelings. This is "your time" to explore, take risks, sit quietly and lead in whatever way feels most comfortable for you. I do not believe that there is one way to do therapy. If you have difficulty starting to tell your story, I may ask you questions to get to know you.
I understand that just as I am getting to know you, you are getting to know me. We are mutually exploring "our fit."
Are you experiencing post-partum symptoms, anxiety, feelings of abandonment, depression, low self-esteem, or challenges related to parenting?

As a mental health professional, I am committed to fostering a safe and welcoming environment where clients can address issues related to anxiety, depression, women's concerns, or emotional exhaustion. My primary aim is to help clients establish healthy communication boundaries with themselves and others, thereby significantly enhancing their quality of life.
Furthermore, I possess extensive experience with the emotional, mental, and behavioral conditions affecting children, recognizing that they necessitate different treatment approaches compared to adults due to variations in cognitive development and maturity. Accordingly, I employ various therapeutic techniques adapted to your child's age and specific circumstances. These interventions can help your child develop coping strategies, improve social interactions, and manage emotions more effectively.
Depending on your child's age and individual needs, I may collaborate directly with you or other guardians to strengthen parenting skills or to address specific behaviors effectively.
Engaging in counseling can facilitate personal growth and development across various facets of your life. If you are prepared to begin your journey towards improved well-being, I am here to support you throughout this process.

Welcome! *I am currently only taking virtual EAP (employee assistance program) clients.*
I work with people outside in the natural world, engaging in ecotherapy practices. We would meet at a local park in the East Bay Area, where we would sit, walk, or explore the area while tending to whatever emotions or questions are arising in you. Connecting with nature has been shown to reduce stress, loneliness, depression, and anxiety and provides a rich landscape for personal growth and healing. If you are interested in learning more, please sign up for a free 15-minute consultation (please do so before scheduling an initial session).
Current openings: Thursday afternoons at Tilden Park.
Ecotherapy is somewhat different than traditional talk therapy. While there will be space for you to share what is going on in your life, we will also take time to do grounding exercises, practice mindfulness and guided visualizations, and engage with the natural world. This modality provides a uniquely large "container" for healing work associated with woundings from childhood, traumatic experiences, grief, and unlearning patterns that no longer serve you. The natural world shows us the lifecycles of plants and animals, the interdependence of ecosystems, and the colors, textures, sounds and smells that awaken our senses. In this context, there are endless ways to make meaning of the suffering you are experiencing and to gain insight into your emotions and relationships. For people who are exploring their purpose and are considering work or relationship changes, ecotherapy can support you to embody your true self and better understand your role within the community.

Jungian therapy will look at the relationship of your “self” to your experiences and look at problems as a symptom of something deeper.
Whether it be a thought or perception, dream, belief, value or current relationship that brings you to therapy, we'll look for what messages are coming to you from within.
