About

I work with individuals and couples willing to get curious about what ails them. I think therapy should feel authentic and fresh. I embrace radical acceptance and find laughter can be healing. Many of my clients come to me feeling trapped in patterns of worry and rumination, people-pleasing, self-criticism, avoidance, or self-destructive behavior. We gain clarity and freedom by getting curious about how we manage emotion, often through unconscious strategies that can feel protective, but are also limiting. Much of my practice focuses on trauma-related problems, mood, anxiety, psychosis, personality disorders, and addiction. As Clinical Director of a trauma-focused crisis stabilization program for women in Marin, I often meet people in the most chaotic, uncertain, or stuck moments of their lives. Those moments call for real presence and clarity. In my private practice, I bring that same attunement into deeper, often longer-term, work. I'm direct, but not pushy.
