Greetings;

After 39 years, I am closing my therapy practice effective December 15, 2024. These years have been more than a job for me; they have been an opportunity to walk with others thorough their evolution of healing.

To say it has been a privilege being a therapist does not at all articulate what it’s meant to me. It continues to amaze me that people – all of us – can reach out and trust others even in the face of past failures, injustice, uncertainty, and heartbreak. It is only through the window of hope that I have been able to provide a helping hand and the knowledge and skills available to me. And so if you are still searching, have hope. Change is difficult but affirming.

This website will be current through 2025. You can reach me by email and also by my office phone: 925-253-0740 if you have messages or questions for me. However, please know that I may be checking both infrequently.

If you are looking for a therapist, I have compiled a list of trusted colleagues following. All of these clinicians are EMDR trained but you may also find others on the EMDRIA website; www.emdria.org. Click on “find a therapist.”

 

Clinicians I can recommend:

• Teresa Allen, MFT
• Alethea Gard’ner, LCSW
• Susan Overhauser, Ph.D.
• Antonia Fokken, MFT
• Jade deFrates, LCSW
