My communication style

After working for many decades at the Veterans Administration and Kaiser Permanente, I have learned how difficult it may be to open that door to engaging in therapy and being open to a process of change. As a therapist, I provide a safe and non-judgmental environment to help engage in a collaborative process of change.

My journey to mental healthcare

In college, I was unsure about a major. After co-leading T-groups (sometimes called Sensitivity Groups) at UC Berkeley and then working in the Psychology Department at York University in Toronto, I was hooked on the idea of helping people change. When I returned to California, I decided to get my MSW graduate degree, also at UC Berkeley.

My goals for you

My job is to listen without judgment and create an environment that supports healthy change. I offer tools that may be helpful, but you decide what works for you. As I tell clients, my job is to throw spaghetti at the wall, but you decide what sticks.

Our first session

I'll take cues from you while guiding us to clarify what makes now the time to seek help and what you hope to gain. Together, we'll arrive at a plan to accomplish the goals that are important to you.
