I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and also work with school-age children, adolescents and their families. In general, I will encourage you to think about yourself in relation to others, particularly to important people in your life. Therapy often leads to a significant reduction of feelings of distress, as well as facilitating resolution of specific problems and better interpersonal relationships. However, there is no guarantee that this will happen.

Psychotherapy varies depending on the personalities of the therapist and the client(s), as well as the particular problem that the client brings. A number of different approaches can be utilized to address the issues for which you are seeking my assistance. Any approach requires a very active effort on your part, both during therapy sessions and at home.

I have had the most success treating clients who have self-esteem, sexual, anxiety, depression, eating, relationship (marriage, family, friends, partners) and school/work issues. Please feel free to contact me therapy@tinamft.com or (650) 223-3312 with your specific issue so you can decide if we are a good fit. In the unlikely event that I cannot be helpful to you, I would be happy to refer you to another therapist.
