Live Fully.​

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
​for STRESS and anxiety
You wake, startled by another bad dream that feels all too real. Pacing around the kitchen, you feel tense and exhausted. Another missed opportunity this week, something that you skipped because you felt too stressed out. No matter what you do, you can't shake the anxiety and worry. On the outside you look like you have it all together, but you know better. Your mind has become a battlefield.

​​Sound Familiar?

You want to live a meaningful and engaged life. To feel connected to others and to yourself. After going through a stressful event, it's common to feel disconnected, anxious, and fearful. You might start to wonder if this is the "new normal," and doubt you'll ever be able to fully engage in the things you enjoy, feel close to others, or be at ease again in the world. I'm here to tell you that there is a way out. And I want to help you get there.

Your life is waiting for you on the other side of fear.

​​As a licensed psychologist based in California, I am passionate about helping people change their relationship to fear, work through past traumas, and develop skills to cope with stress, in order to live rich, radically authentic, and meaningful lives.

​
My orientation is holistic, collaborative, and always guided by the most up to date psychological research. I provide time-efficient, personalized services, so you can effectively align your actions with your deepest values, and make lasting, powerful changes in  your routines, relationships, and mindset.

The Help You Need, Wherever You Are

Picture
I primarily offer therapy services through video-teleconferencing. This allows you to connect from home or a private office. Most people find online therapy is more convenient and easier to fit into their busy schedules. I offer both evening and weekend slots for my online clients. Online therapy is available to all California residents.
Picture
I offer a few in person slots at my downtown San Francisco and Oakland offices, when available. You may prefer an in-person format if you do not have a private place to connect for your sessions, you need a service that I do not offer online, such as virtual reality therapy, or you do not have reliable internet service.
