Empowering Your Journey to Emotional Wellness
Compassionate therapy for personal growth and healing.
Compassionate therapy for personal growth and healing.
Whether you are experiencing personal or relational issues related to the past or the challenges of living in today's times, if you are wanting to arrive at a deeper understanding of yourself, welcome.
I can help you find a way to navigate these disruptive difficulties. Life is an ongoing process of becoming. As we begin to talk about the changes you seek we will explore how to re-attune your life towards greater harmony with your values and what makes you happy and fulfilled.
When the road does not rise up to meet you...
When you feel no wind at your back...
When the vigilance of contorting yourself into who you think you should be...is just too much, welcome
Let’s understand how you got here.
You are welcome you just as you are.
We can help you find your way through to more satisfying experience of living.
Your path is there waiting to be discovered.
I am relational, supportive, culturally sensitive and caring. I treat everyone as a unique individual and work with people not a diagnosis. There is no “one-size-fits-all” or formulaic path. I offer a safe place to explore whatever issues are most important to you. I am experienced in helping with depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship and communication concerns, medical and emotional difficulties and loss. We will talk together and reach into a tool box of lived experience including therapeutic conversation, somatic experiencing and relational therapy. Together we will find a path leading towards healing and growth. We will discover what works best and gives meaning to your “wild and precious life.”
With warmth, respect and an engaged presence I follow your lead. I provide a safe enough space where difficult feelings can be expressed.
I listen deeply for what is unspoken, to think with you about what remains unknown wanting to be found.
I am also ready to invite what needs to be challenged so that you can have the life you want, the destiny you were meant for and the ability to bear what comes.
Together we can discover what it means for you to be fully human in this place and in these times and prepared with the needed tools for what lies ahead.
If you have found your way here you are ready. The long and winding rod has led you here to this door.
As a registered nurse, neuro-movement/Feldenkrais practitioner and educator I’ve worked with folks on a myriad of paths: autism spectrum disorder, addictions, ADHD, relationship challenges, trauma, sexual abuse, life transitions, anxiety, depression, aging and hospice.
I offer psychotherapy for individual adults, teens and couples from all walks of life with the goal of uncovering patterns that keep you stuck and empowering you to move forward.

All sessions are by appointment only. Individual sessions are 50 minutes long. I hope to resume seeing clients in person at my Berkeley office by early 2022.
For best outcomes it is important to commit to coming to sessions at least once a week. Multiple times a week are also possible.
My fee is $155. When me meet we can discuss current fees and questions about payment. If you are experiencing financial hardship, call and we can discuss accommodations.I take a limited number of sliding scale clients. Payment is due at the time of service. You can pay by check, credit card, check, Zelle or Venmo.
Once an appointment is set, I require 48 hours advance notice to cancel or reschedule appointments. If you cancel or reschedule less than 48 hours before your appointment, you will be charged for the full session.
I am not an in-network provider for any health plans and only accept private pay clients.
