Welcome!
You are probably considering therapy for yourself or someone who you know and care about and are looking for the best psychologist or therapist for your needs. My hope is that the information provided in these pages will help you to get to know me and my practice and assist you in taking the next steps in getting the care that you need by calling me and/or other therapists to consult directly.
As a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience, I can provide support, guidance and insight into the challenges you may face. I have extensive experience exploring understanding the sources of multiple problems, and the changes needed to experience less anxiety, less depressive symptoms, and more life satisfaction. I understand the challenges in managing stress and finding new pathways to happiness, self-care and connection with family members and community in the face of the additional stressors of living through the COVID epidemic and our current socio-political situation.
I work with clients ages 14-90 and am aware that these challenges impact you differently depending on your stage of life. If you are a teen or young adult, you may need support and assistance with identity exploration and/or ‘adulting’ challenges. If you are a young adult, you may need professional assistance creating a meaningful life and learning how to navigate relationships. If you are any age, you may need assistance in re-thinking what is meaningful in your life and how to implement self-care that works for you in our current times.
I have found that the care and attention that I provide to my clients is a foundation for change and healing. My work with you will be customized to your unique needs and is based on us creating a safe, supportive working relationship.
I encourage you to feel free to call me and ask me any questions you have about how therapy would be if we chose to work together. After this phone contact, I would most likely recommend that we meet in person either in my Half Moon Bay office or via Teletherapy so I can hear more details about your goals and we cam develop a strategy together for addressing your or your loved one’s psychological needs.
I look forward to our shared journey!
Therapy is an intimate journey that has the most power when engaged honestly and fully.
