So often we live in the grip of anxiety and depression. Our families pull out our worst, the realities of adulthood drain us, loss of loved ones or our own capacities become existential reality. Despite these challenges, we can always make changes in ourselves to increase our resilience and sense of fulfillment in life. Psychotherapy is serious work. While humor and levity in the present can help lighten difficult memories, we will dive deep into the past with expert attention to inform movement into a more complete future. While earning my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley CA, I trained for 5 years in different mental health clinics around the Bay Area. Prior to graduate training, I worked in residential settings with teens and kids who had severe behavioral needs as well as providing case management at a homeless shelter. I have experience with research-supported and intellectually-based therapy for a wide range of symptoms and issues. While I use several approaches to help, I mainly practice psychodynamic therapy. Cultural awareness and sensitivity are of central importance, and I have been fortunate to have worked with people from many walks of life.
