My Approach to Helping

As a Marriage and Family Therapist, my expertise is helping people live fuller, more satisfying relational lives. My style is engaged and interpersonal and integrates body centered, experiential, mindfulness, cognitive, psycho dynamic and trauma resolution approaches. My specializations include:
* Body-centered psychotherapy
* Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy for identifying and repairing painful and chronic relationship patterns that lead to disconnection and and argument.
*Group therapy for men and women seeking healthy, intimate and authentic relationships
*Treating anxiety, depression and disturbances associated with trauma
*Life Transitions
* LGBTQ issues of identity and relationship
I have offices in the Noe Valley neighborhood of San Francisco and the Lake Merritt area of Oakland.
Trained in somatic ( body-centered) psychology, emotionally focused couples therapy, group dynamics and EMDR (a trauma recovery therapy), my practice is influenced by over thirty five years of mind-body practice including Kripalu yoga, Phoenix Rising yoga therapy and Aikido as well as over twenty years of corporate business experience.
