I began Piedmont Psychotherapy in 2004, when I became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since then, I've grown my practice to include psychotherapy services, supervision for post-graduate interns and practice-building consultation for helping professionals. My goal is to be helpful to you. Here's my philosophy: Life is about authenticity and connection.
It's about being healthy and making good choices for yourself while living a meaningful life in our community. My clients are ready to feel better and are open to new insights applied to old problems and new circumstances. They need a safe space and a good person to talk to.

Services
Although clients come from all over the East Bay, Piedmont Psychotherapy serves primarily the Oakland and Piedmont areas.
It's conveniently situated between the 580 Freeway and Highway 13, and between Pleasant Valley (Grand Avenue/51st Street) and MacArthur.
A perfect place to take a walk, have a cup of coffee or a piece of pizza, and window shop.
We love our local Piedmont Avenue businesses!

Clients who carry medical insurance, generally have behavioral/mental health benefits which apply to psychotherapy services.
I am an Out-Of-Network provider, as I am not enrolled in any provider networks.
My services are rendered and charged to the client.
Clients must pay the full fee for services out-of-pocket, later to seek their own reimbursement.
If you wish, I can provide you with a monthly superbill, which has the medical coding information needed to submit this information to your insurance company.

Psychotherapy is a path toward wellness and balance, determined by the client and guided by a mental health professional.
It includes talking with a therapist, either directly or symbolically about the experiences of the client.
Art, music, dance, play and the spoken word (among others) are all forms of expression used by therapists to understand the internal world of a client, and facilitate transformation.
Therapists use different means to guide clients.
Most pick their techniques based on their own professional identity and experience, and match these to the client's concerns, personal style and preferences.

It's not all about credentials and designations, it's about finding a person you can trust who can guide you through a personal growth process.

I am currently offering off-site supervision for graduate student and post-masters interns.
I am licensed by the BBS and qualified to supervise Associate Social Workers, and Marriage and Family Therapist Interns.
I stay current with my supervision CEUs so I can sign off your hours toward licensure.
I am very chosey with who I supervise.
As my intern, your work happens under my license and affects my relationships in our East Bay community.
I screen candidates thoroughly, because I care deeply.
My goal for pre-licensure supervisees is two-fold: Clinical Excellence and Developing Your Own Professional Persona.
