What is unique about my practice is that I've made a commitment to you and this work from the inside out.  I bring more to you or your child than education and professional training.  I offer you the added benefits of a rich life experience based on facing challenges, and actively cultivating the resilience and courage necessary to create true happiness. 

When you come to meet me,  you'll enter a tranquil office where you will experience unconditional regard for who you are in this moment.  You will find mirroring and faith that you can achieve the transformation that may have been eluding you.  We will work together in a collaborative manner, discovering your gifts, talents, and resources.  We will use these to effect change and growth in your sense of self, your relationships, your schooling or work, and your community.  I will serve as a warm and confident guide for you, and a catalyzer in helping you discover your innate guidance, so that you can navigate yourself through any challenge toward fulfillment of  your dearest goals and greatest potential.

I work with individuals of all ages, couples, and families.  My approach is supportive, creative and integrative, and psychodynamic.  As a registered Marriage and Family Therapist Intern under expert licensed supervision, I offer a sliding fee for quality work.  Please call me for a free phone consultation, at (415) 289-6500.
