Alcohol Use Therapists in Palo Alto, CA
Whether life is going well or you are struggling to feel well, therapy could be a helpful and powerful tool in moving forward. Finding the right therapist, however, could be overwhelming. With investments of energy, time, and money, it is important to select a therapist with whom you feel comfortable—someone that "gets" you and in whom you have trust and confidence. I enjoy helping adults understand their barriers and strengths to help them meet their goals in the various aspects of their lives, such as relationships, work, school, and health.

How might you show yourself compassion today? Where can you exercise more curiosity, in place of judgement? Imagine speaking to yourself with the same gentle grace and care you would typically give to a friend, loved one or child. Many of us struggle to be kind and patient with ourselves, especially if we have endured or been witness to traumatic experiences. I believe that we are all capable of change and healing, if we lead with compassion.

As a licensed clinical psychologist with over a decade of experience, I integrate evidence-based approaches with a compassionate and collaborative style. Together, we’ll explore both the “why” of your struggles and the “how” of creating meaningful change.
Therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you can show up as your full self-struggles, strengths, and everything in between. My role isn’t to “fix” you, but to walk alongside you as you move toward clarity, growth, and relief from patterns that no longer serve you. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together - you can slow down, reflect, and focus on what you need.

Welcome — I’m glad you're here. Many of my clients have tried talk therapy and gained valuable insight, yet still find themselves repeating the same painful cycles. They may overthink, over-function, people-please, shut down, or feel anxious in relationships. Insight is an important part of healing, but understanding something intellectually and feeling better are not always the same thing. Often, we're living by lessons our nervous system learned long before we had words for them.

Do you ever find yourself living in fear and going down rabbit holes in your head? Do you base your well being, enjoyment and serenity on what is going on with those around you?
