Psychotherapy for Women in California, Colorado, and Illinois

Counseling and Psychotherapy for Women
Photo of Therapy OfficeI offer secure and confidential online psychotherapy services to residents of California, Colorado, and Illinois.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area/Silicon Valley, I am an experienced psychotherapist helping women who have been successful in their careers, but not in their relationships. This includes women who may be in relationships that are not what they had hoped for, as well as women who feel they will never find the relationship they have been seeking. My practice also offers general psychotherapy services for women, couples, therapists seeking a psychodynamic approach, and members of the LGBTQQA++ communities.

My Approach to Helping People

I offer an intelligent, warm, and supportive approach that is also down-to-earth and grounded in deep and active listening. I bring many years of training and experience, along with a sense of humor and a passion for helping people find their strengths and move past the obstacles that have held them back. I strive to demystify the process of psychotherapy and make it as “user friendly” as possible. I welcome people who may have previously found therapy to be unhelpful, as well as people who wonder whether therapy actually works. (You are not alone if you are thinking this!) I also welcome psychotherapists who are looking for a safe, confidential, and experienced psychodynamic clinician who can help them look at themselves both personally and professionally.

Wherever you are at on your journey, whether you are lesbian, gay, bisexual, straight, queer, questioning (LGBTQQ++), or none-of-the-above; comfortable with your identity or not; therapy can help you to see your life through a new lens by uncovering the places where you are blocked and opening new possibilities for engaging more fully with yourself and in your relationships.

I invite you to explore my website for more information about psychotherapy and to see whether my approach might be helpful to you.
