I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a diverse background that cuts across a variety of treatment modalities and philosophies. Our therapy will be collaborative, tailored to your goals and needs. We can work together to change persistent self-defeating patterns and facilitate personal transformation as well as to address specific challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, career changes, divorce, and major life transitions. In addition to my private practice, I am a professor at Stanford University, where, among other duties, I teach classes aimed at psychological, career, and life development for law students. Over and above familiarity with approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness, my formal training covers two somatic disciplines (Somatic Experiencing and Bioenergetics) along with Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), an evidence-based approach that aims at deep change as well as symptom relief. Feelings, beliefs, and behaviors operating outside of our awareness often impede our ability to identify our deepest desires and to satisfy them. My training and life experience position me to work with you on this front, work that can help you experience greater aliveness and fulfillment on an enduring basis.
