I have been in private practice for over 30 years. I have had extensive experience with ethnically diverse women, men, couples, Veterans and immigrants, from young to older adults.

I am interested in exploring these issues through a dynamic process of understanding your emotional life and thoughts; and, how it manifests in your behavior in the world. Available for clinical consultation or supervising licensing hours. By appointment: Office, phone or virtual.

Adolescence can get complicated...therapy shouldn't be. As a licensed psychologist, I offer treatment exclusively for teens navigating anxiety, depression, social issues, ADHD and self-harm, in the East Bay area (Walnut Creek). With over 15 years experience as a school psychologist, my strengths-based approach is grounded in evidence-based strategies to guide teens to build skills to apply to real-life situations. When something shifts (increased withdrawal, irritability, overwhelm) it is often a signal worth understanding. When you are ready, call for a consultation to help your teen feel more confident, capable, and steady.

Money is a powerful tool, but when our financial behaviors are driven by unconscious patterns or unresolved emotions, it often results in stress, confusion, and conflict. Whether you're overwhelmed by debt, struggling to stick to a budget, facing money-related tension in your relationship, or simply feeling lost about how your finances align with your life goals, you're not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.

My greatest privilege and joy in life is helping people move through suffering, lack of clarity, and the patterns that keep them feeling stuck. I do this through implementing empirically supported therapeutic modalities, including EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, narrative therapy, and interventions drawn from cognitive behavioral therapy. I firmly believe that while coping skills can be helpful, the deeper work of therapy lies in getting to the root of the patterns, wounds, and experiences that shape how we think, feel, behave, and relate to others.

I try to create a light-hearted and non-judgemental environment that allows individuals to build confidence and autonomy while gaining back control over mental health struggles. It's important to me that people feel supported as they navigate a journey of personal growth. Oftentimes, people are nervous to share thoughts or worries they have had for years without talking to someone about it. I challenge people to take the risk to open up and work to solve difficulties that have come up, to make enjoying life just a little bit easier.

The world doesn’t feel safe anymore, does it? I hear you, feel you. There is allot of uncertainty out there, fear, betrayal. The world burns.
I have this thing I read to myself sometimes, let me read a bit to you while you are here, looking for someone safe, someone to trust.
“You say that your sky has been changing lately. That you’re tired and broken. That the answers you thought you found don’t seem to work right anymore,. We’ve been down these sad roads a hundred times before..”
I am safe. You will have to decide how safe, but I’m betting you can figure it out.
I work with who you are, inside….the real you.
