Healing and growth, which can be uncomfortable and painful, sometimes take time and support. These are shifts that we do not have to experience alone. Through authenticity, warmth and collaboration, I work with clients to cultivate understanding of their thoughts, feelings and behaviors and we work together to decrease stress and achieve defined goals. Whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues or health concerns, I integrate evidence-based practices to allow for the transformation of pain into growth.
I specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), health psychology, relational work, and am trained in IFS, ACT & DBT. My practice utilizes evidenced-based treatments for effective care, as well as applying embodied approaches such as mindfulness-based interventions and biofeedback holistic integration. I work in person and via telehealth in CA & Hawaii.
I attended Palo Alto University, Pacific Graduate School of Psychology. My doctoral internship was in Colorado, and dissertation focused on burnout, vicarious trauma and mindfulness in clinicians. Originally from New York, I have lived in the Bay Area 15 years, I enjoy surfing, playing ukulele, teaching AcroYoga, travel and Vipassana meditation.
