Individual Psychotherapy is personally tailored to each client. I employ a solution-focused approach for short-term issues and work with an in-depth model for longer-term problems. In both the goal is to foster understanding and change. I work with a broad range of issues. Problems I can help you solve.
 
In Couples Therapy my goal is to establish and strengthen positive connections of closeness and depth, fostering intimacy and trust. I weave in the teaching of needed communication skills; work with the influence of family patterns while focusing on present day issues. Problems I can help you solve.
 
Domestic Violence, Abuse and Anger Therapy is offered to treat problems of physical, verbal and emotional abuse and to create healthy relationships based on trust, cooperation, and mutual support. My clients are people whose lives have been affected by giving or receiving abuse, including abused spouses, batterers, survivors of child abuse and victims of violent crimes. I work in conjunction with other therapists who specialize in domestic violence and anger management to provide a systemic team approach to problems of abuse. Group therapy for women in abusive relationships.
 
Therapy for Habit Change uses a combination of techniques including hypnotherapy, EMDR and EFT to change unwanted, problematic habits such as: transforming compulsive eating to mindful eating, addressing test or performance anxiety, increasing sports abilities and developing mindfulness based stress reduction skills. See more about this aspect of my work at the The Milton H. Erickson Institute of the Bay Area (MHEIBA) where I am a founding board member. MHEIBA
