First, let me introduce myself. I am a licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the evaluation and treatment of depression, anxiety, burnout and post-traumatic stress. I also help people who have concerns about their alcohol and drug use. I specialize in treatment that can help coping with intense and often painful emotions.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, genuine connection with my clients because of my strong belief that without trust in a relationship, therapeutic or otherwise, no lasting change can happen. I also recognize that being overwhelmed is common when someone is trying to create change in one's life. Consequently, I take an active, practical, empirically-based approach to help my clients formulate their goals and to support motivation on their journey to restore a sense of control and well-being.

Thank you for visiting my web site. I hope it will allow you to get a feel for some of what I do. Included is information about my credentials, the services I provide, and answers to frequently asked questions. You will also find some information about common mental health concerns. If you have additional questions or would like to make an appointment, please feel free to call me at (510) 260-7342.

Sincerely,
