I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a strong commitment to providing high-quality individualized mental health care to adults. I offer both individual and group psychotherapy. I enjoy working with a diverse range of people, ages, and issues. I bring specialized training and experience in working with young professionals, people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse and relationship challenges. If you’d like to learn more about how I’d work with you or have any questions about starting therapy, please email or call me for a free phone consultation.
Therapy offers a safe relationship that is rooted in trust and respect. Successful therapy can take different paths. One path may be helping you developing tools to cope more effectively with mental illness. Another path may include learning more about yourself and how you relate to others. I will help you design a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of education, training, and clinical experience in the mental health field. I have offices in Pleasanton and Redwood City where I provide therapy to adults living in the Bay Area.
