I work collaboratively with clients to alleviate symptoms, change behavioral patterns and negative thinking, transform family-of-origin dynamics and improve relationships. For more than 20 years, I have helped clients with anxiety, depression, relationships, work stress/burnout, grief/loss, self-esteem, racial identity, chronic illness, postpartum, infertility and life/career transitions. I specialize in working with women at mid-life, new mothers and women in transition. I provide a supportive environment where clients learn to be present with their experience and explore emotions and thoughts with acceptance and non-judgment.
My therapy approach is insight-oriented and interactive. I help clients increase self-awareness, identify their values and intentions and gain tools to better manage life's challenges. I believe that with heightened awareness and insight, individuals can make healthier choices and live more authentic, integrated lives.
As a native Californian from a diverse background, I appreciate and understand the complexities of identity and cross-cultural issues. I am trained in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) and vipassana meditation. My experiences as a writer, avid reader, meditation practitioner and mother influence my work.
