My private psychotherapy practice is a wonderful place to address your relationship with yourself and others, your family history, depression and other "mental disorders," substance abuse and addiction.  I have over 27 years of experience working with clients with various strengths and challenges, and I am particularly fond of meeting with families who are caring for a mentally ill adult.  If you'd like to contact me for a consultation, please feel free to email me or call me at ~510~~632~~2244~.


......a little bit about me......

I am a long-time activist for social justice, which over the years has included opposing the war in Viet Nam, participating in the developing of the modern wave of feminism, engaging in the study of constructive criticism and examining the ways that race and socio-economic class affect the fabric of our lives.  Of late, I have turned my attention on how the Fat Liberation movement has developed into the study and practice of Health at Every Size.  

I am also a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and I bring those tools, along with my multi-faceted approach to how we humans move through the world, to my work as a therapist.  I believe in change, renewal and recovery and I delight in the creativity each person brings to the table.

Finally, as a 58 year old woman with two joint replacements, I am facing aging with the same gusto and rambunctious attitude I approach most things with.
