Philosophy:
I have a very compassionate, accepting and gentle style. Her clients often comment on how comfortable they feel with her. I assist clients in setting clear goals at the beginning of the therapy process, and as a result, I help them resolve their issues more quickly. If clients want, I can help them look at deeper, underlying issues as well.

Practice:
I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving both the East Bay and San Francisco.
I specialize in relationship issues including dating and parenting. In addition, I have helped people balance family and career obligations with self-care. I have also worked with hundreds of individuals on feelings of shyness, low self-esteem, grief, and depression.
I use an approach to therapy combining self-psychology and cognitive therapy with structured assignments designed to assist clients in developing a greater sense of self-esteem as well as an awareness of choices that are available to them. Three hour Saturday sessions as well as thirty-minute phone sessions are also available.
