Psychotherapy

My practice is based on direct, honest and supportive interventions to help adolescents, young adults, adults,  couples and

families improve their quality of life. 

    I believe that psychotherapy is an important resource for people who are grappling and struggling in their life.  Psychotherapy provides a means of practical problem solving and can allow for a new perspective on the way one's thoughts and feelings can affect our daily lives.

I received my education and training at San Francisco State University in psychodynamic clinical psychology.

Over many years of practice, I have worked with adults, children and families who have experienced psychological problems, trauma, mental illness or  struggled with substance abuse, and others who have sought to understand  themselves on a deeper level.

I hope to hear from you and to help with your life and psychological development.  

Divorce Mediation 

Divorce mediation is a way for divorcing couples to come to a fair and equitable divorce agreement.  In a less contentious environment and process, couples who use a divorce mediator are able to go through all the steps needed to dissolve their divorce.  People tend to save financially by using a mediator compared to using lawyers, and much of the pain and suffering of divorce can be minimized with the help of a divorce mediator.

Divorce mediation covers child custody issues, child support, dividing the marital home, assets and financials and spousal support. At the end the mediator will provide a Memorandum of Understanding that can be taken to court as a divorce decree.

Note: Child support issues will use the California legal calculation that is established by the state based on income.  Spousal support is related to income and expenses for each spouse.
