Personal Statement

Personal Statement:
I offer psychotherapy services for individuals, couples and groups. I specialize in the treatment of depression and anxiety, trauma and abuse, eating disorders/body image issues, life transitions as well as gay and lesbian issues. I offer an ongoing lesbian therapy group. My theoretical orientation centers on the self-psychology model which focuses on restoring the self through such basic therapeutic tools such as listening, understanding and clarifying as a means of addressing injuries of the past that intrude in present relationships. I work in Oakland and Orinda.
