Warm, Nurturing Therapy and Counseling for Individuals and Couples in Pleasant Hill, CA
If you're looking for a therapist who's also a real person, you've come to the right place. I use warmth and humor to help my clients find relief from anxiety, stress, addiction, overeating, codependency, depression, and relationship problems.
I love helping my clients create an inner sense of peace and confidence. I am filled with awe every day, as my clients grow stronger, more confident, kinder to themselves - while letting go of shame, self-judgment and old patterns that are no longer working.
I also love working with couples as they learn to communicate in caring, respectful and playful ways, rebuilding trust and closeness.
My office is in Pleasant Hill, CA, a short drive from Walnut Creek, Lafayette, Concord, Martinez, Alamo, and Benicia.
I'm in the office Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and every-other Wednesday from noon to 9pm. And I offer a free, in-person, 30-minute consultation so that we can see if I'm the best therapist to meet your needs.

Convenience and Flexibility
I have day and evening hours Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and every other Wednesday. I am happy to schedule sessions as short as 45 minutes and as long as 90 minutes (which many couples find useful). I offer sessions weekly or every-other week in the beginning of therapy, and monthly for clients who prefer to taper off gradually.
I accept all major credit cards as well as checks and cash. I don't accept direct payment from insurance, but we can provide a monthly statement for clients with PPOs so they can be reimbursed for services. Click Here for more on insurance and fees
