Nice to Meet You

I have been working as a licensed clinical psychologist in the Bay Area since 2003. Trained in psychodynamic, humanistic/existential, cognitive-behavioral, and other therapies, I adapt my approach to the personal needs and goals of each patient. During an initial assessment period of two to three sessions, I will listening carefully to what you have to share with me. If we decide that working together can be of help to you, we will engage in short-term dynamic psychotherapy (12 to 16 sessions), where we will work through the issues that you have presented. We will process difficult situations and emotions, look at patterns of thought and behavior, and examine your beliefs about yourself and the world. We will also work to lower personal distress and reactivity to life's stressors, increasing your capacity to create healthier solutions to life circumstances and challenges. Afterward, we will evaluate the outcomes of our collaboration and discuss whether or not to continue on to long-term therapy.

Appointment Confirmed!

Your registration is complete and your appointment is scheduled. Review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
