MINDFULNESS, BALANCE, GROWTH, AND EMPOWERMENT. It is possible to achieve a higher level of inner peace and reduce unnecessary suffering. We all can "lose our way" at times and find ourselves in situations that are difficult and painful. I believe that these crises can hold within them tremendous opportunities for growth and strengthening. Although most enter therapy during a crisis, the therapeutic process need not also feel painful or traumatizing. I will create a safe and validating therapeutic environment in which to transform personal suffering into strength and wisdom. We will collaborate to establish clarity and direction in our therapy. My therapeutic approach may include EMDR Therapy, Neurofeedback, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy. My style is warm, interactive, and direct. My background spans mental health and medical settings. Trauma, attachment, stress management, LGBTQ, diverse lifestyles, and cross-cultural issues are strong interests. I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR Consultant. I am an out-of-network provider, and can provide an invoice that you can submit to your PPO insurance for possible reimbursement. I work with adults and adolescents. I have ADA accessible offices in both Palo Alto and San Jose.
