◘ Services/Fees ◘

I provide individual and couples psychotherapy/counseling and referral services primarily to adults. I have day and evening appointments.

My style is active, compassionate and collaborative. I use an integrated approach working with my clients. Because I believe that not one type of therapy works for everyone, I use a variety of approaches and techniques (e.g. psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, client-centered, eastern concepts like mindfulness) depending on your needs and personality.

Some examples of issues I address are:

• depression
• anxiety/panic attacks
• self-esteem
• relationship/communication problems
• stress management
• career and work
• finances
• grief and loss
• cultural issues
• personal growth/self-development/spirituality
• gay & lesbian concerns
• and other issues

After our initial meeting, if we are not a good fit or I believe another provider would be more appropriate, I will provide you with appropriate referrals.

Fees
For those needing a reduced fee, I offer a sliding scale (range of fees) based on your ability to pay. Please call (510) 594-4003 to discuss fees and sliding scale availability.

I also accept some insurance such as PPO plans (clients are reimbursed).
