I welcome the opportunity to work with young adults to older adults to help to develop a preferred self. I know that developing an identity as a young adult can be challenging. Professionals may find it exhausting to have a work-life balance, or may be seeking meaning in their lives. I appreciate and value the intersections of our identities and how we navigate our lives. I work in a relational way holding clients in positive regard, attuning to you, and helping to identify internal and external resources to apply.

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, collaborative and understanding. I strive to create an environment where my clients feel safe to openly explore the challenges of life and relationships without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. I enjoy the opportunity to learn about the unique strengths, perspectives and abilities of my clients, while working with them to create a path for change. I am passionate about personal empowerment and self compassion and strive to help my clients love and understand themselves in a new way.

Therapy can provide a safe and supportive environment leading to a journey of healing, self-discovery, and growth regarding past and current life challenges. I am a therapist who is passionate about working with people on a broad spectrum of issues on this journey. My goal is to develop trust by working collaboratively so you can identify and practice new ways to manage stress, emotional difficulties, and overwhelming times. I believe that improving the way we connect with and care for ourselves supports effective communication and more supportive relationships.

People who have been in my practice often tell me one of the things they treasure most highly about their therapeutic journey is feeling hopeful again. I welcome adults to my practice who are struggling with a wide range of issues – problems with relationships, work, love, fear, hearing voices, play, sex, confusion, being alone, being with others, paranoia, feeling stuck, despair, worry, troubling thoughts, grief, etc. I am trained and experienced in treating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychotic breaks, schizoaffective disorder, psychosis, PTSD, OCD and personality disorders.

My practice is grounded in the belief that we all have a deep desire and fundamental need to connect — with ourselves and with others. My practice melds: my collaborative approach + affirming, nonjudgmental, humorous and directive style + lived experiences as a West Indian, first-gen, queer, womxn + a trauma/somatic/relational focus and Afrocentric perspectives to curate a transformative process that allows you and/or your partners to experience: connection—healing—liberation.

I help people to better understand themselves, their psychological distress and their relationships. I focus on helping each person discover what they need to relieve suffering, to develop helpful coping skills and to improve relationships. When a person heals psychological wounds, learns helpful coping skills and makes desired personal and relationship changes, they experience not just relief but a greater feeling of wholeness . I work in a collaborative fashion and believe that empathy and understanding are key elements in my helping each person .

Giving yourself a space dedicated to self-reflection is so helpful. I work with adolescents, often highly accomplished adults, and couples in my practice. I help clients meet their own goals by building a strong relationship, encouraging reflection, and exploring alternatives. I am warm, engaging, and well trained. In my work with clients, we look at the influence of a client's family-of-origin, their current stressors and challenges, and the relationship that unfold between the client and myself. I assist my clients to work through their challenges, so they have more choices to live a more authentic life.

I consider relationships to be the single most important part of being human. My work with individuals, couples and families helps them develop the essential skills for cultivating and maintaining satisfying relationships in all sectors of their lives. A primary goal of my work is increased confidence in my clients for handling life transitions, relationship challenges, cross-cultural issues, and trauma recovery through EMDR. I bring to my work life experience from the public sector, an integrated therapeutic approach, and a rich cultural background of German-Jewish, California Indian (Salinan) and Latino. I am actively involved with my Salinan community in reawakening and maintaining our traditional ways. My private practice is located in

I have worked as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I meet you where you are, attending to the particular needs and goals you bring, helping you discover more meaning, wholeness, and pleasure in your life. The daily choices we make are often informed by our early life experiences. Despite our best efforts to change, we often find ourselves repeating unwanted patterns over and over. As we sit together, exploring your feelings, your stories, and listening to your dreams and longings, we will find ways you can open yourself up to the possibility of change, finding new energy and meaning.

Most of us enter the clinical office in search of sanctuary and healing. In my office, clients find a place where they can heal from the unexpected disruptions, heartbreaks, chronic disappointments, profound grief, and repetitive anxieties that mark their lives. They tell me that, finally, they can see what is going on, understand how it impacts their lives, let go of it, and develop more productive and joyous ways to engage life.

I've been in private practice since 1987, working with individuals and couples. I work with men and women, ages 19 and above, who may be overwhelmed and confused by a life crisis or transition; who may find themselves holding back in their lives, not knowing what they want or afraid to go after it; repeating the same patterns in each of their unsatisfying relationships, leaving them feeling lonely and unseen. I am honored to accompany each client on a journey toward wholeness and peace of mind. Having traveled extensively, I have a deep appreciation of other cultures and languages.

What do you want? What are you doing to get it? Is it working, and if not, what can you do differently? Your personal goals for therapy, once defined, will be at the heart of our work together. I'll support you in applying your strengths, deepening your sense of connection to yourself and those you love, and finding healthy ways to relate to negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Suffering is part of the human condition, but together, we can learn to respond to it skillfully. Slowing down, healing and integrating life experiences will be our focus!

You’re ready to take one step forward, toward healing. Most of all, you’re ready to be on the other side of this seemingly insurmountable hill, I want to help you get there.
