As a psychologist, I provide psychotherapy and psychological evaluation services. I typically utilize a CBT approach when providing psychotherapy. However, each parent and client comes to therapy with specific concerns which they would like addressed. To provide the most effective treatment, other modalities may be incorporated after taking into account concerns, diagnosis, and age. Whether it's CBT, mindfulness techniques, ACT, schema therapy, Gottman method, or narrative therapy, our sessions will be unique and goal driven.

I have supported my clients to reconnect with their true self by working through old wounds, building healthier attachments, and developing new strengths. My dedication in working with you is to empower you in taking charge of your path, past the hurdles, and find clear steps towards your goals. Prior to my practice, I gained my clinical expertise in direct care and management roles at the San Mateo Hospital and their outpatient programs.

You may think that big things have to change in your life in order for you to feel better and experience improvement. But I've come to believe that a key, gentle shift in perspective can bring about more positive change than many realize. That is a shift from taking a critical approach with yourself to taking a Kinder Approach. With this shift in how you approach yourself and your experiences comes greater self-awareness and feelings of confidence, hopefulness, empowerment and knowing your value. You can begin to see and feel new possibilities and choices for your life.

My approach to therapy integrates evidence-based practices grounded in the psychological literature. I have experience working with adolescents and adults to reduce or eliminate: anxiety, stress, and anger issues; depressive and bipolar mood symptom management; relationship, work, and school issues; problems with rumination and repetitive behaviors, and substance use problems. The structure of sessions varies based on a client's needs and can focus on: processing life events, understanding past and current issues, moving through difficult emotions, or learning skills for sustained behavior change and improved emotional processing.

The majority of my practice has focused on anxiety, depression, and relationship catastrophes. Maybe you have experienced childhood trauma which takes many forms and continues to impact your adult relationships, functioning and wellbeing. Maybe you live with someone who causes harm or is controlling, antagonistic and narcissistic. Maybe you want to see if your relationship with your children or partner can be restored. Maybe you are super worried about your child and seek guidance for yourself or them. Maybe you struggle with guilt and shame and finally want to rid yourself of that stress.

I have over 25 years working with clients, who struggle with chemical dependency, codependency, depression, anxiety, anger, dysfunctional relationships, marital discord, family of origin issues, internet porn, pervasive negative patterns & phase of life problems.

I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults around a variety of issues. I aim to create an authentic connection with each client that allows us to explore a path towards a higher quality of life. Within a safe and non-judgmental space, we can examine the effectiveness of current thoughts and behaviors to determine potential areas of change, while also identifying those aspects of life that may require acceptance, coping, and tolerance. I strive to balance validation and empathy with a directive approach that offers concrete tools and strategies.

As a therapist/coach, I seek to treat the whole person and begin where they are at. Through depth listening, positive regard, and an open being, I partner with you and use approaches from various modalities (cognitive, solution-focused, client-centered, mindfulness, somatic, humanistic, and positive psychology) to create a path to help you discover your abilities, strengths and most of all resilience to address the issues which are facing you.

I also use a Family Systems perspective to improve interpersonal relationships and family dynamics. I am a believer that every obstacle or hardship can be a platform for growth.
