About My Clients

Are you unhappy, depressed or anxious? Are your personal relationships filled with conflict and sadness? Would you like to better understand yourself and why you act the way that you do? Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed and looking for better ways to cope? I may be able to help.

My Background and Approach

I received my BA from UC Berkeley and my Ph.D. in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (1993). I have provided psychotherapy in the SF Bay area for over 25 years and have worked with a diverse client population in numerous mental health settings. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and warm. I integrate psychodynamic and interpersonal therapy with CBT/ACT and Mindfulness and Acceptance approaches to help you gain insight into your problems and develop better ways of dealing with your issues and relating to others.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that it is a privilege to be entrusted with helping people who are in transition, struggling in their lives, and/or are working towards becoming the best version of themselves. I enjoy seeing people understand themselves better, make positive changes, and live more meaningful and content lives. I strive to provide a trusting relationship and safe environment in which to address those issues that are causing distress in your life. I want to help you to gain insight and understanding about yourself and to work on skills that lead to improving resilience, acceptance, self-compassion, and a more fulfilling life. Viktor Frankl said: “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.”
