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.

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

Everyday life starts to feel like a grind, a test, or a roller coaster. Patience runs thin. Success feels distant. You long for resilience and real support.

I specialize in helping adults in San Francisco, Palo Alto, and throughout California regain emotional stability through evidence-based approaches including trauma therapy, EMDR, neurofeedback, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and more.

My Clinical Specialties

My work integrates deep trauma processing (EMDR & IFS) with nervous-system regulation through neurofeedback and somatic psychotherapy — a combination particularly effective for high-functioning adults who have tried traditional talk therapy without lasting results.

Therapeutic Approaches I Use

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.

Ready to Feel More in Control of Your Emotions and Your Life?

I offer a thorough 90-minute intake so we can understand what’s going on and create a clear plan forward.
