I am a licensed psychologist with 20+ years of experience in diagnostic evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. I am also an Adjunct Professor at Stanford Department of Psychiatry where I train and supervise Forensic Psychiatry Fellows.
In my practice, I offer comprehensive evaluation options to help you understand your or your loved ones' strengths, challenges, and their root causes. My assessments provide a "full picture" understanding of the individual and deliver individualized, strength-based recommendations designed for real-world application.

If anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, or chronic illness is making it hard to feel grounded in your daily life, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to manage it by yourself.
Many of the clients I work with feel overwhelmed, tense, or stuck on high alert, even when things look “fine” on the outside. Mental health difficulties can affect sleep, focus, relationships, and your sense of safety in the world, but therapy with me can be a place to slow things down and begin feeling steadier again.

My expertise is working with patients who struggle with chronic medical conditions or neurological/neurodevelopmental disorders that impact wellbeing and functioning. If a patient is struggling with noticing changes in their thinking skills and not knowing why or they have a medical condition that impacts their cognition and they feel lost and are looking for direction and hope, then my practice is for you. Sometimes you've been given a medical diagnosis previously and don't know what this might mean for your future or how to balance these changes with the demands of life and are looking for direction and support.

I have extensive experience working with post-traumatic stress and TBI ( traumatic brain injury) following motor vehicle accidents and other injuries.
If sadness, worry, stress, disturbing memories, and daily challenges are making life difficult and you are missing the joy ... It might be time to speak with someone to reduce the pain and renew your hope. I offer an empathic connection, a transpersonal approach, and EMDR to help reduce the long term effects of relational wounding, trauma and loss. Acceptance, insight, and hope are keys to personal growth. I hope to be a guide on that path to self-discovery and healing.

For over 24 years, I've collaborated with people to resolve their psychological trauma, phobias, anxiety & stress as well as maximize responses to their medical diagnoses, treatments & conditions. This clinical focus stems from both a personal medical challenge since age 12 and research on treating women with breast cancer and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Yet Kaiser research (1998) finding 70% of primary care visits are driven by mental, emotional and relational issues highlights how mind and body are interwoven for each of us. This interplay provides leverage for preventive medicine, for responding to illness and for maximizing peak performance.
