I believe in our ability to heal ourselves. I provide a warm, safe, accepting space to explore issues and to promote your growth and healing. I see our relationship as collaborative and I seek to empower you to make new choices for yourself. The greatest power we can have is the ability to respond differently to situations rather than automatically react in our old, familiar patterns. These patterns of behavior/feelings/beliefs once served us and helped us to survive but are no longer working.

There are cutting-edge, effective, mind/body approaches such as EMDR and EFT that help us to release those negative patterns and access our resources and strengths. They can free us from stuck places and allow us to focus on positive feelings and beliefs about ourselves. It is possible to no longer be run by triggers from the past that make you feel anxious, depressed, angry or believe you are not good enough, unlovable, unsafe, not in control. I am very excited about the potential of these tools to make a difference in your life. You can heal and make new choices!

I have been counseling clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide range of issues for 19+ years. I am especially good at helping with anxiety, depression, trauma/abuse, self-esteem/empowerment, relationships, difficulty adjusting to life changes, stress management, grief/loss, and women's issues. I have expertise in working with pregnancy and postpartum issues in particular. Please contact me to see how I can be of help.

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 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!

I have been practicing as an LCSW for 17 years in a variety of settings.

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.

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.
