“People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds.”― C. Rogers I firmly believe that having a space to process and plan, albeit uncomfortable a times, translates to healing and a more fulfilling life. An understanding of ourselves brings forth self-compassion, self-awareness and alignment between goals and day-to-day actions.As we become attuned to our true selves and our vision for our lives we can foster better personal and professional relationships.

I am a licensed psychologist with vast experience in diagnostic evaluations of children, adolescents, and adults. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the Stanford Department of Psychiatry where I train and supervise Forensic Psychiatry Fellows. In my practice, I offer a variety of evaluation options to help you understand your, or your loved ones', strengths and challenges as well as their root cause. The purpose of these evaluations is two-fold: to present a "full picture" understanding of a person, and to provide individualized strength-based recommendations.
