Since my undergrad years at Stanford, transforming mental health has been my passion. I specialize in women who struggle with anxiety, emotional overwhelm, or trauma related to relationships — things like feeling stuck in painful cycles or choosing unavailable partners. You might find yourself stuck in the same kinds of relationships: anxious, uncertain, or drawn to people who can’t meet you halfway. I help women understand and change these patterns by addressing underlying mental health with therapy, including medications when needed.
My therapy style is psychodynamic, meaning we look at elements of your unconscious that affect conscious life. Sometimes, it's helpful to uncover those things directly. Other times, when it's too overwhelming, we gently build up your support and mental resources till we can get to that point. I also use DBT techniques to help with coping day-to-day.
Sometimes therapy is not enough. Medications can offer the full spectrum of treatment options. Occasionally medical conditions even masquerade as mental ones, since they have psychiatric symptoms. Together we explore what more might be going on, and lay your foundation of mental health for personal flourishing and better relationships.
