PSYCHOTHERAPY
FOR ADULTS AND TEENS

Sometimes the way we feel inside doesn't match what we expected, or what we've shown the world. The ways we learned to cope may have once kept us feeling safe, but can become the very patterns that keep us feeling stuck. Therapy offers a space to make sense of those patterns and find your way toward a version of yourself that feels more whole.

HOW I WORK

I believe an accepting and attuned therapeutic relationship is essential to creating change.

I approach our work with curiosity, warmth, and without judgment, seeking to understand your current life and inner world, as well as the experiences that have shaped you.

​

We'll work together to deepen your connection to the different, and sometimes conflicting, parts of your experience. I also see myself as your partner in developing effective ways to navigate difficult emotions and experiences.​

ABOUT ME

​​Before opening my private practice, I worked with people across a range of clinical settings, including university counseling centers, community outpatient clinics, and specialized eating disorder treatment programs. These experiences shaped an approach that integrates depth-oriented therapies with practical strategies for coping with overwhelm and distress.

​

Over the years, I’ve developed particular areas of focus in anxiety, eating disorders and body image, and the challenges that can arise throughout pregnancy and the transition into motherhood.

 

I believe we all contain an inner wisdom and capacity for healing and growth. I find deep fulfillment in supporting others in discovering and appreciating more of who they are, and in moving toward a life that feels aligned.

​

I am a licensed psychologist based in Marin County, offering in-person sessions at my office in Corte Madera and virtual therapy throughout California.

I offer a free 15-minute Discovery Call to answer questions and see if we might be a good fit.
