I provide a place that is welcoming and confidential where you can talk about whatever you’re going through and receive skilled help to make positive changes in your life. I specialize in helping you:

— Heal your relationship with your partner

— Heal your relationship with yourself

— Emerge from depression

— Become less anxious, more relaxed, more confident

— Heal from upsetting and traumatic memories

— Develop more self-​compassion and self-​acceptance

— Decrease unnecessary fear responses (phobias)

— Grieve losses in a healthy way

In addition to traditional counseling and psychotherapy, I also offer hypnotherapy to facilitate healing and change, and I have a specialty in using medical hypnosis to reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and chronic pain.

History

Established in 1999.

I am a psychotherapist and clinical hypnotherapist in San Francisco, and I have been working with clients from a wide range of backgrounds and lifestyles since 1993. I earned a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies in 1994 and was licensed by the State of California as a Marriage and Family Therapist in 1999.

I worked as a therapist at Bridge to Wellness Partial Hospitalization Program and then at New Leaf Services before transitioning to full-​time private practice in 2004. I am passionate about studying and refining ways to help people heal and realize more of their potential for a meaningful and joyful life.
