As a therapist, my goal is to help my clients form better relationships, understand the patterns in their life, recognize their potential, and increase their resilience. To truly "know thyself" can be a difficult task, and I am committed to helping others embark upon their journey of self exploration.

If you would like to schedule a appointment, please don't hesitate to contact me at (650) 483-6090 or by email.

Services
I come from a multidisciplinary background and utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches to assist my clients. My style tends to be empathic, insight oriented, interactive, and empowering. Typically I tend to use Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy; however, therapy is not limited to one particular type or technique.
People who are uncomfortable with the idea of connecting past experiences with present day patterns (a more traditional form of psychotherapy), will love life coaching as an alternative! Therapy is very useful for individuals who are stuck, struggling or unhappy, but are unclear on the cause of their dissatisfaction.
Relationships are the greatest tools we have in life to grow, learn, and deepen our experience of love and purpose. Few things impact our sense of well-being like our ability to recognize, develop, and maintain healthy relationships. They can be our biggest source of connection and strength or a tremendous source of pain.
The 30's can be a strange and confusing decade in my clients' lives. They have often created goals and expectations for themselves, and if those goals (whether related to their career, romantic relationships, children, or health) are not met, they are frequently left feeling disappointed, hopeless, confused, angry, and insecure.
We've all heard of a midlife crisis but, no one talks about the quarter-life crisis that has become more of an issue in recent years. It's the "I have no job, no money, no direction and I'm living with my parents!" crisis. Entering the real world after twenty years in a structured environment can cause culture shock and disillusionment.
