COUNSELING & CONSULTATION PRACTICE

I have maintained a private practice working with individuals and couples during the last 15 years. Areas of specialization include stress reduction, relationship difficulties, life balance, anxiety, codependency, parenting, and mindfulness practice.

I would be happy to talk with you about the possibility of accompanying you on your journey--whether through psychotherapy, spiritual guidance, or consulting on creativity or writing projects.

My primary office is located on the Mountain View/Palo Alto border, near the beautiful San Francisco Baylands. I also have a part-time office in Santa Clara.
