I have been in private practice as a State Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist/Psychotherapist for 14 years. Whether it is depression or emotional distance, communication, sexual issues, roadblocks in work or love, anxiety, agoraphobia, trauma, addictions of all kinds, anger mgt., and disorders of the self -I can help. My approach can be brief or long-term.
I am experienced in helping people who are searching for answers and/or containment related to their
core conflicts and maladaptive patterns. If it is difficult to quiet your mind and self-regulate your ups and downs you may need to learn Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation Skills.
If this sounds like you remember that medication is not always necessary and is often not optimal by itself. I use a special method which is influenced by a technique called DBT -or Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This technique is particularly well suited to people who have the following traits:
ADD, PTSD, Bi-Polar and Borderline Personality, Trauma survivors.
CALL TODAY. I help people find a safe atmosphere in which we emphasize respect, caring, good boundaries, and research -based techniques.
In addition to the experience gained in my private practice work where I specialize in treating adults, adolescents, couples and families, I have extensive post-graduate training beyond my Masters in Psychology. Currently I am an advanced candidate in the Certificate Program, and in the Doctoral program of The Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California in San Francisco.
Paying for counseling or psychotherapy with a seasoned, well- trained psychotherapist who uses research-based, custom-fit approaches can be quite helpful. It can save one money in the long run and added stress from the seemingly endless merry-go-round of approaches.
