Psychotherapy for adults, children and couples

I don't just listen; I actively engage. My role is to help you see the dynamics you cannot see yourself, so we can work together to disentangle the patterns that are preventing you from living the life you want.

* Offering in person meetings and telehealth.

Adult psychotherapy services will help you get un-stuck from repetitive patterns. If you find yourself struggling to break free from emotional experiences that feel automatic, self defeating or out of your control, or feeling misunderstood in your relationships, I can help you understand the 'why' and shift to a new 'how.’ For those seeking deep, sustainable change, I offer intensive psychoanalytic and neuropsychoanalytic psychotherapy. We move beyond surface-level symptom relief to address the root unconscious patterns, creating long-lasting structural changes in how you think, feel, and relate.

If you’re looking for parenting support or child individual therapy, a foundation of support for parents and children now can have a lasting impact on mental health long into the future. Parent support and child play therapy helps children and parents enhance their attachments and relationships, understand their emotional lives, increase ways to use words to express needs and feelings, decrease challenging behaviors and gets development back on track. In addition to child play therapy, and parent support, I also offer parent/child relational therapy to enhance attachment experiences for both parents and children.

Couples therapy offers space to decode frustrations and rediscover the security you both deserve. Underneath every frustration, every ‘no,’ and every moment of withdrawal, there is an unmet need. You aren't fighting or distant because you want to hurt each other; it’s because you don’t know how to reach each other.

I work with chilren, adults and couples navigating a range of challenges, including:

  • Relationship dynamics and attachment struggles

  • Anxiety, depression, and mood regulation

  • Trauma and the impact of childhood experiences

  • Life transitions and personal growth

  • Emotional regulation and behavioral hurdles in children including ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

If you would like to know more about my therapy services, please feel free to contact me for a free brief phone consultation to see if my services would be a good fit for you or if I can help you find what you’re looking for. My office is located at the border of Berkeley and Oakland near the Rockridge BART station.
