It can be challenging to find a qualified psychologist, especially when you are in need of help in other areas of your life. I understand that choosing the right psychotherapist to help guide you is an important decision and a real investment in time, resources and trust.
My approach to helping my patients as a psychologist is based on developing a solid, comfortable therapeutic relationship. With a solid foundation of trust and respect, therapy with a qualified and caring professional can spur personal growth for a richer, more compassionate life to emerge.
Therapy with me from this perspective is typically not short-term. I will meet with people for shorter-term treatments when indicated; sometimes a short session is just the help you need to begin new ways of thinking about yourself. However, my practice as a psychologist is primarily one of longer-term treatments where I meet with people one or more times per week. By developing a more personal relationship over time, a therapist can more fully understand the patients and provide better help.
If you live in San Francisco, Oakland or the Bay Area and would like more information about me as a psychologist, feel free to contact me. I can be reached at either of my two offices, or online through the contact form.
