I view the therapy room as a safe and confidential place...

...where you can discover and untangle your thoughts, emotions, and personal goals. It is a place where you can examine how you might be stuck and learn to take progressive steps toward personal growth, healing, and wholeness.

... where you and your partner can gain insight on your relationship so that you can arrive at the mutual place of nurturance and understanding. Practical collaborative conflict resolution will also be used in order to meet your individualized goals.

... where a family of any size can learn to understand how each member affects the whole family system. Goals include learning how to move toward unity and harmony while affirming differences and diversity.

... where a child or adolescent can work out their unique experiences and receive empathy, support, and holistic growth through techniques such as play therapy, art therapy, and modeling.

Being a Bay Area native, I am attuned to the fast paced culture and its accompanying stresses that affect individuals, couples, and families on a daily basis.

In addition, I have experience working with children and their families in multiple local school districts. As a result, I have a passion to walk alongside those families and parents who experience the unique stresses of caring for a child with special needs.
