Counseling & Psychotherapy for Individuals and Couples


Life can present us with challenges that we are not prepared for or that can be overwhelming.  Counseling can help you move through these challenges with more confidence and better outcomes. 

I am a licensed psychotherapist and I provide counseling to individuals and couples with a wide variety of difficulties.  My hope is that this website will assist you in finding what you need in learing more about me.  If at any time you feel it would be helpful to talk with me, please call me at (415)454-6007, or email me at

Offices in San Francisco and Central Marin.


Welcome

People come to counseling for a variety of reasons.  In some cases, you may be experiencing difficult moods like anger or irritability, depression or anxiety, sadness and grief.  These moods can color how you feel about the problems you face along with your options for dealing with them.  Other reasons people seek counseling include relationship troubles, unresolved trauma, demanding life transitions, stubborn and self-defeating patterns, or low self-esteem that's undermining your life.  Ultimately, people come to therapy to resolve difficulties or for exploration, expansion, and personal growth.

As adults I believe that we have the capacity to grow and change throughout our lives.  In therapy we will draw on your natural tendencies toward continued growth and build on your strengths.  We’ll look for the patterns and obstacles that keep you stuck, as well as the ways which you hold off from directly engaging with certain problems or people.  We will identify coping strategies that are not working, as well as develop and put into practice new ones that make a positive impact on your life.  To me, the main goal for my clients is to develop inner freedom – the freedom to be yourself, to love and be loved more fully, to do work that’s suited for you as well as to express your creativity.

I work with individuals and couples with people of all gender orientations.  Together we’ll develop an individualized plan to resolve your difficulties, find or renew your sense of purpose and gain greater fulfillment in your life.  We’ll consider your needs and financial resources in order to establish the timeframe for therapy.  As a therapist I am committed to providing a warm, non-judgmental and safe environment where you can explore the full range of your concerns. 

Please call me if you have any questions or would like to set up an appointment.
