Psychotherapy/Consultation
Welcome!
Sometimes life can be challenging... Do you feel stuck, depressed, anxious, angry, have relationship problems, a career impasse, weight issues? Sounds like it might be time to re-gain control of your life! And congratulations! It's exciting to see that you are already taking action to improve your current dilemma--and your life.
I have been a psychotherapist for 15 + years, and offer help to clients who face a variety of challenges; be it individually, with their partners, or their children/family. My training to become a psychotherapist, and a variety of positions held within the field of mental health (Haight-Ashbury Free Clinics, UCSF, Acalanes High School, United Airlines), have equipped me with valuable skills to help you feel better, to get un-stuck. While providing feedback, my ultimate goal is to helping you to find you the answers you seek. My style is lively, reflective and warmhearted.
My approach
I work with my clients holistically (mind, body and spiritually), according to their varying needs. We discuss your goals at the onset of your therapy (and assess your progress towards them). It is my passion to figure out what is out of balance that impedes my clients' top functioning and then brainstorm the best, individualized interventions to help them become stronger, happier, and more integrated.
I well trained in a variety of different psychological methods like: Mindfulness Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Positive Psychology, as well as Systems Family Therapy to help reduce anxiety and worry, improve your mood, and develop healthy coping styles. I also find it helpful integrate Eastern Philosophies of healing in our sessions (such as mindfulness and meditation).
Please feel free to contact me for a consultation; be it for long-term or short-term therapy.
