I enjoy working with tweens, adolescents, adults, and families at all different stages in their lives. I am a licensed psychologist who received my undergraduate degree from Stanford University and a doctorate from the California Institute of Integral Studies. I have worked extensively with both youth and adults with a wide variety of presenting problems and mental health issues. My approach to therapy is integrative drawing on client-centered, psychodynamic, CBT, attachment, and family systems models. I conduct individual therapy for adults and for youth along w/family sessions w/their parents as well as parenting support.
With adults, I specialize in working on issues that stem from one's family of origin. With youth, I view them as being embedded within their family system and work jointly with tweens/adolescents & their parents with the goal of improving both youth & family functioning. I have a sub-specialization in trauma treatment for children, adolescents, and adults.
I understand that it is essential for you to find someone you can trust and work closely with when facing challenging times; therefore, I provide a free consultation so that we can both feel confident about working together. My job is to help people use what they already know plus what we can discover together to live more fully and joyfully.
