Therapists for college students near 94305

I help thoughtful, driven students break old patterns to build more connected lives: where impact & soul align. As a former tech leader, Stanford student-athlete, and experienced therapist, I know how achievement can hide inner conflict, and that lasting growth happens when we feel both secure and challenged. In therapy, we explore the pull between ambition and ease, connection and distance, and deeper healing.

Welcome! I am a former lawyer, turned second career psychotherapist, practicing as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California, Colorado and Utah. In the meantime, I raised three adult kids, all with ADHD and LD’s. I specialize in navigating complicated relationships, managing anxiety and depression, exploring more recent and childhood traumas, and honestly, navigating life as a student. Want to talk about law school; I’m your girl. Want to blame everything on a parent? Happy to do it. Want to make real progress and laugh along the way? Let’s go!

Are you interested in a type of counseling that is practical, goal-oriented, and short-term? Want to figure out what's causing you struggle and learn and practice tools to make it better? Tired of endless talk therapy without any change? I use an approach to counseling called TEAM-CBT that was developed by David Burns, MD, at Stanford. Clients who are a good fit are highly motivated to make changes in their life, willing to set specific goals to recover from their struggles, and ready to do the needed work. Good treatment is much more than just venting! I aspire to teach my clients to become their own therapist. Contact me to find out if we're a good fit to work together.
