Specialties
Anxiety or depression affecting relationships, work, school or family life? You know that 'thinking happy thoughts' is overly simplistic and if it worked, nobody would need a therapist. You need coping skills for your anxiety and depression but you also need to understand what's keeping you from making the changes you know would make your life better. Perhaps you're thinking that there's something deeper going on. --Some things you're afraid to learn about yourself, but if you did, it would free you up to live your dreams. When you sit in the room with me, I listen thoughtfully, partner with you to take a look at and understand what you're struggling with, and work with you on how to not only use strategies to cope, but to examine what's going on at a deeper level so you can move forward with respect to your feelings and inner life. If you wish to know more about my therapy services, please feel free to contact me for a brief phone consultation to see if my services would be a good fit for you. My office is located in Oakland on the border of Berkeley and conveniently located midway between Rockridge and Ashby BART stations.
