I am a clinical psychologist with 25 years of experience. I worked for the UCSF Medical School in the Medical Student Well-Being Program in the early 2000's. I also provided consult/liasion services in the UCSF hospitals for over a decade. I have been supervising psychiatry residents for the last 20 years. I see a number of medical professionals in my practice and specialize in helping people who deal with chronic medical conditions, complex trauma (and related sequelae), relationship issues, an...

Therapy is truly an odd place. It is a social, emotional, and mental experience unlike any other. You are plucked from your life and placed in a room or screen where the process and conversations revolve around you and your life. This can be daunting and debilitating, but also transformative, fascinating, and full of wonder and opportunity. Sometimes our lives ask that we be machines like everyone else, regurgitating what everyone else is doing. We are conditioned to disconnect from ourselve...

Profound change occurs at its best in the context of supportive, empathetic, and insightful relationship. Throughout our lives we will all reach certain times where we feel stuck, overwhelmed, helpless, and disconnected from ourselves and our relationships. Maybe this has been you for some time, or maybe this is a more recent state that feels jarring. Wherever you are today, psychotherapy can be the confidential and safe place to show up just as you are. We will work together to uncover and shif...
Many of those I work with feel anxious, overwhelmed, and exhausted—stuck in overthinking, weighed down by self-doubt, or disconnected from themselves and others. On the outside, their lives may reflect what society sees as 'successful'—doing well at work or school, keeping things together—but something feels amiss. They may feel restless, on edge, isolated, and drained by painful relationship patterns, often feeling unseen and emotionally distant. Some cope by shutting down, distancing themselve...
I love to work with students and young adults. Many of my clients face mood challenges (anxiety and/or depression), career questions, difficulties with relationships and/or the repercussions of early life trauma. Some are high achievers, but feel held back by self-esteem challenges or imposter syndrome. Others are in the process of individuating from their families of origin and benefit from guidance as they find their way in the world as adults. I have great empathy for the stresses of studen...
Are you looking to make a change in your life? Feeling stuck with behaviors that used to serve you and now seem to weigh you down? Do you have plans and dreams that you never quite get around to enacting? You are not alone. We have all been there at one time or another. I know I have been. In fact, by some estimates, at any given time 80% of people are feeling ambivalent about a significant decision or change they want to make in their lives. It was with this in mind that Time for Change, Psycho...

You're ambitious, kind, hardworking, and yet, something in life isn't working out. It feels like you're trying so hard, and yet, you're stuck, or somehow falling behind in a part of your life. Maybe because of stress, a past romantic relationship, or maybe because you're feeling overwhelmed. Talking with someone about worries and circumstances to heal emotional wounds takes courage. Counseling could be intimidating and stirring. Thankfully, we offer an attentive and supportive environment that i...
