I’m an experienced, interactive therapist who brings a compassionate heart, an action orientation, and a calm presence to this work.
I strongly believe in a collaborative approach to therapy. I’m deeply interested in learning what you know about yourself, including your strengths, pivotal experiences, and challenges. Integrating techniques from therapeutic models such as Internal Family Systems, EMDR, the Flash Technique, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, my multi-dimensional approach to our work is attuned to your uniqueness and refined by your input along the way. While I’m warm and caring, I’m also direct and focused on the change you seek; in the words one of my teachers, Terry Real, uses to describe his approach, I “avoid being heavy on nurture and short on truth.”
I bring diverse professional and life experience, a responsiveness to culture and all other components of your identity, and an array of tools that you can use to find the growth, solutions, well-being, or healing you seek. I’m in my 18th year of practice, and work with clients in-person in Marin County, CA and via Zoom with clients who are anywhere in California, Arizona, or Florida.
I know it can feel vulnerable and challenging to find a therapist. I offer a complimentary 30-minute consultation to see if that feels like a good start to our collaboration.
