Taking only returning clients. For 30 years, I've successfully treated those suffering with the pain and frustration of depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, creative blocks, and life transitions (several of these overlap!). I earned my doctorate at UC Berkeley, and, in addition to my psychotherapy practice, taught clinical psychology at UCSC until 2018. Psychologists are ethically required to use demonstrated treatments for clients' backgrounds and difficulties. I'm fortunate to have trained in many effective therapeutic methods, tailored to each client's needs & personality. I'm available only via video/phone sessions.
My website ('psychotherapy' section) offers more info about my practice, office photos, what to expect in a first session, insurance and different license types info., and immediate self-help tips on depression, anxiety, stress, and relationships. Although I am no longer taking new clients, please feel free to share this information with those who need it!
If you are a current or returning client, please speak clearly and repeat your phone number if leaving a voicemail, and please check your spam box after emailing (no texts). Thank you!
