As a Marriage and Family Therapist I am fascinated with the connection between our needs and desires as individuals, and the influence and responsibilities of our primary relationships. As individuals we choose and maintain our relationships. We nurture them, fight for them, sometimes harm them, and continuously define and influence them. In turn, our relationships shape us as individuals, guiding our behavior as we assume different roles with different individuals under continuously changing circumstances. The notion of “family,” however we define it, is always an important part of us.
With this is mind, I offer a range of services designed to help individuals, families, and couples meet the challenges of their present circumstances. These services range from traditional talk therapy with individual adults and couples to the use of play, art and experiential approaches with school-aged children.
I proudly serve individuals of all ethnic backgrounds, economic circumstances, lifestyles, sexual preferences and gender identities. During our initial phone consultation, I will answer your questions honestly and openly as we determine if we are a good fit to work together. If I'm not the best fit, I know many experienced and incredible therapists in the Bay Area to whom I will be happy to refer you.
