My Approach to Helping

I work with adults and couples who struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship, or family difficulties. I also help my clients navigate infertility, new motherhood, and pregnancy. I offer both long-term insight-oriented therapy and solution-focused therapy to hep clients with a range of issues related to relationships, moods, emotional and physical issues, and life circumstances. I also work with interfaith, interracial, and intercultural couples to facilitate productive communication about sensitive issues.

I have spent the last twelve years honing my expertise in a range of clinical settings, including university counseling centers at USF, Augsburg, and Stanford University and the UCSF AIDS Health Project. I completed a two-year post-doctoral fellowship at the Hamm Clinic, where I deepened my intensive psychodynamic training. I offer brief and powerful work to help my clients heal from trauma, accidents, and painful life experiences.

I believe in the power of mindfulness, as well as cognitive re-framing of old and unproductive thought patterns to help you cultivate a more joyful and compassionate world view.

More Info About My Practice

I am an out of network provider for all insurance networks, which means that my clients pay me up-front, and I file all of their insurance claims for them. Once they hit their out of network deductible, they are reimbursed by their insurance company anywhere from 50%-100% of my fees. I charge $170 for an individual session and $195 for a couples session. Please call or email with any questions, I would be more than happy to talk you through this process.
