I view psychotherapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client, an encounter between equals, where the relationship itself is healing. I help clients who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, relationship distress, life transitions, and existential dilemmas (questions about the meaning of life, questions about dying and death). I also have experience working with individuals struggling with dual diagnosis (addiction and mental health issues combined).

I am a reproductive mental health therapist, which means I work with adults during the chapters of life that revolve around fertility, pregnancy, hormones, and loss. That includes postpartum depression, anxiety, and rage; frightening intrusive thoughts and postpartum OCD; infertility and the strain of trying to conceive; grief after miscarriage, stillbirth, or termination for medical reasons; PMDD and severe PMS; perimenopause and menopause; and the grief and adjustment that come with chronic pain or illness. I also treat OCD at any life stage using Exposure and Response Prevention, the gold standard treatment. All of my sessions are held online by secure video, so you can meet with me from anywhere in California. For my clients, that often matters: new parents who cannot leave a sleeping baby, people in the middle of fertility treatment, and anyone whose energy is already spoken for. I am in network with NorCal Kaiser through Allminds, and with Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, Meritain, and Nippon through Alma. Superbills are available for other plans. Every new client starts with a free 15 minute consultation, which is simply a conversation about what is going on and whether we are a good fit.

I'm obsessed with all things communication, connection, and conflict and I love helping couples rewrite their relationship patterns and talk about the tough stuff. I compare myself to one of those Comedy Traffic Schools; even though relationship work can get challenging, I make it as fun and engaging as possible using pop culture references, humor, and homework you actually want to do.
