One of my joys in life is making a positive difference in my client's lives. Maybe you’ve tried everything; talking to friends/family, reading self-help books, ignoring the problem hoping it will go away, or just accepting how things are and yet you are feeling unhappy and stuck. I believe there is hope for you, a life filled with love, fulfillment and fun. I've had a variety of life experiences (good, not so good) that's given me wisdom and insights about people/life. I work with couples, women/men issues, trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD. I'll travel with you on your journey of healing/growth with understanding and compassion.
I specialize in creating a supportive, empathetic space for healing and growth. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex emotions and find empowerment in their lives.
Growing up in California, Colorado and Tennessee concocted a Midwestern warmth with an open-mindedness and appreciation of our differences. These experiences gave me a curiosity for how humans develop in their environments and with their unique histories, leading me to pursue psychology.
I studied Political Science at Vanderbilt University before a seven year tenure in the corporate world. I am grateful for this experience as it has added depth and perspective to my work with clients. In 2014 I began my counseling psychology degree at The Wright Institute in Berkeley and then completed my training in San Francisco. My training journey encompassed internships at community mental health clinics, elementary and high schools, group therapy practices, and social service sites where I received intensive supervision in a variety of modalities. I regularly attend trainings and consult with colleagues to hone my craft and provide the best possible care.
Hi, I'm Ellen, a psychotherapist who treats adults and adolescents 19 and up. I combine psychodynamic techniques with spirituality to create a session that offers both common sense and compassion, and also some creative and fun interventions! I work with anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationships, and more. My approach is individualized to respect you and what you need or hope for in therapy. I am a marriage and family therapist with experience in school, clinic, and private practice.
I specialize with the symptoms of anxiety, depression, ADHD and high spectrum autism.

I am a Bay Area native and veteran of the US Navy. I have spent my entire career providing mental health support in the schools and community,
I have been practicing as an LCSW for 17 years in a variety of settings.
Hello, I’m Jessica Anderson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s Degree in Child Development from Sarah Lawrence College and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from New York University. Since 2004, I’ve had the privilege of working in many different settings—community-based organizations, hospitals supporting children and adults, and now private practice. These experiences have given me the opportunity to work with people from all walks of life, each facing unique challenges and strengths.
In my practice, I approach every individual with curiosity, empathy, and unconditional positive regard. I believe we all have an innate ability to heal, grow, and create change. Sometimes, though, life’s stressors—whether loss, trauma, transitions, or biological factors—can make that feel out of reach. My role is to provide support and guidance as you navigate those moments, helping you reconnect with your resilience and sense of self.
Therapy, to me, is a space for exploration and growth—a place to make sense of your experiences and learn new ways of being. I understand that being human can be complicated: we’re constantly figuring out how to live in a world that’s both beautiful and unpredictable, how to love deeply, face pain, and keep moving forward.
I work with children, adults, individuals, and couples. My areas of focus include depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, as well as supporting those in the medical field, military personnel, and individuals or couples navigating the perinatal and postpartum experience.
I didn’t take a conventional route to get here. Discovering my life’s work included a career change, two graduate programs, and countless paths less taken. I’m particularly interested in helping people explore their trauma and find self-acceptance. I believe everyone – at every age – deserves safe, quality mental health care. I love to spend my down time doing Pilates, exploring flea markets, and trying new recipes. I look forward to supporting you on your mental health journey!
Hello! My name is Julie and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist with a passion for helping adults of all ages make improvements to their mental and emotional well being when facing challenges that can benefit for skillful guidance of evidence-based treatment modalities.
