My Approach to Helping

I offer mindfulness-based psychotherapy, with a warm and non-judging approach, for people who are experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, post-traumatic stress, infertility, and people with pain andor chronic medical conditions. Sessions involve mostly talking therapy, and may also include (depending on your needs and interests): breathing & body sensation awareness practices; emotional regulation & distress tolerance training; simple yoga & meditation; compassion, acceptance, gratitude, and loving-kindness practices; and interactive guided imagery.

Psychotherapy, consultation, andor classes are available, depending on your preferences and needs. Sessions last 60 minutes. Supervision for clinical LCSW and MFT interns, and mentoring for MBSR instructors are also available on a limited basis.

Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) programs: I teach courses for the Palo Alto Medical Foundation (2 courses every quarter), Google, Inc., Apple Computer Inc., Stanford University, and other schools and organizations in the SF Bay Area.
