I am an experienced psychotherapist with a focus on helping women identify their strengths and move past the obstacles that have held them back. Whether you are considering therapy because you want to address a specific problem or because you are interested in knowing yourself at a deeper level, our work will include understanding you as a person and not as a diagnosis, and help you build a more solid and confident sense of yourself. My approach to therapy is supportive, honest, and collaborative, as well as intelligent and engaged.
I especially welcome people who have doubts about therapy or who have tried therapy before but did not find it helpful; LGBTQQ+; and therapists looking for a confidential, psychodynamic approach. It can feel overwhelming to reach out for help with the issues that are getting in your way and I strive to make this process safe, respectful, and approachable.
Prior to becoming a psychotherapist, I worked for both large and small companies, and I was the owner of a small technology consulting business. This practical, down to earth, real world experience is always at the core of my work. Based in the SF Bay Area, I offer telehealth services for residents of California, Colorado, Florida, and Illinois.

Although I utilize many therapeutic approaches, I am a grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy. This means that while we will focus on what is going on for you now, your past experiences hold many keys to unlocking whatever is holding you back. I also hold in mind the fact that we are living in very complex times and this has an impact on how we experience ourselves and our relationships.
