Hi, I’m Barbara

I believe in the power of relationships to help us heal and grow. Building a solid, trusting connection with you is the most important task as we begin the journey of therapy together. Through a strong collaborative effort, I help you to re-discover your strengths and skills in order to resist the current difficulties in your life.

I am an ally, a coach, and an advocate for your well being.

I can help you strengthen your relationships and increase connection with the important people in your life. I bring a wealth of life experience to my work with you. From my former careers as an artist in television & film, I bring creativity, humor, compassion and mindfulness to problem solving. As a parent of teenagers, I understand the unique challenges young people have today. I listen.

My approach is engaged, deeply empathic, with a healthy dose of humor.

I see myself as a collaborator with you in bringing more compassion, self awareness and acceptance, and ultimately deeper connections with yourself and the ones you love.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#109771) with the State of California and a certified Mediator with the SF Bar.
