Trauma, EMDR & Neurofeedback Therapy in San Francisco & Palo Alto
Stop Struggling With Your Feelings. Feel In Control Again.
Even when your career and life look successful on the outside, anxiety, unresolved trauma, depression, or ADHD can quietly drain your energy, focus, and sense of control.

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Many high-achieving adults in the Bay Area reach a point where willpower alone is no longer enough.

There Is No Need to Suffer Unnecessarily
I love what I do and have been doing it for a long time. For more than 25 years I have devoted my professional life to helping men and women feel better — finding more joy, more love, more confidence, and more peace.
Being more in control of your emotions is the foundation for a healthier, more balanced life and closer intimate relationships. It is time to stop what isn’t working and start feeling better. I would like to help you find the calmer, happier version of yourself that is already waiting inside.
