I am a Training and Supervising Psychoanalyst and faculty member at the Institute of Contemporary Psychoanalysis, and a member of the American Psychoanalytic Association. My Oakland office is in the Market Hall building in the heart of Rockridge, steps from the Rockridge BART.

I have helped a variety of clients with a wide range of psychological difficulties.  I work with adults, college-age and up. My patients range from those suffering from debilitating anxiety, depression, and trauma to those who come in simply for relationship issues or greater self understanding.

I can help you with:

  • Relationship problems (gay or straight)
  • Anxiety & Depression
  • Low self-esteem
  • Intimacy issues
  • Trauma, PTSD
  • Grief/Loss
  • Divorce/Separation
  • Recovery from difficult childhood events

I approach therapy collaboratively and view the work as a joint effort to support, encourage, guide, and challenge clients to make the changes they want.  My goal is to create a safe, containing space, where any issue can be discussed and explored.

I put together this website to give prospective clients a better idea of my approach, training, and experience.  I find that the best way to discover if my approach works for you is to take advantage of the free initial consultation I offer.  During this initial consultation we can discuss your needs, my approach, and how well the two fit together.  This initial meeting is free and can be set up by e-mailing me or calling me at the number below.
