Psychotherapy For Individuals, Couples, Families, Groups, Teens and Children

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist MFC #50516

We deceive ourselves when we fancy that only weakness needs support. Strength needs it far more.
- Anne Sophie Swetchine

The focus of my practice is on your strengths, which may, due to temporary crisis or difficulty, be hard for you to name and build on. My expertise lies in truly assisting people to change their lives, by helping them discover what they want, what they need, what works, and how to do more of it.

What's unique about me is that my commitment to you and this work is from the inside out. In addition to my education and training, I offer you the added benefits of a rich life experience based on facing challenges, and actively building the resilience and courage needed to create real happiness.

When you come to meet me, you'll enter a tranquil office where you will experience unconditional, non-judgemental regard for who you are, right now. You will find mirroring and faith that you can achieve the change you long for, but may have felt out of reach. We will work together as a team, discovering your gifts, talents, and resources. We will use these to deepen your self esteem, improve your relationships, and enrich your education, your work, and your community.

I will serve as a warm and confident guide for you, helping you discover your natural wisdom, so you can begin to guide yourself through any challenge toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams.

I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families. My approach is supportive, creative and integrative, and psychodynamic. I offer some sliding scale appointments for people who can't afford my regular fee; please inquire if you think this applies to you. Please call me for a free phone consultation, at (415) 289-6500.
