I specialize in assessing for neurodevelopmental disabilities, like Autism and ADHD, among other mental health challenges.
Working with children, teens, and caregivers is a unique opportunity to provide families with support during an important time in life. Using a collaborative and empathic approach, I work hard alongside my clients to make meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. It's important to meet each person where they are at and help them meet their unique goals. In addition to my private practice, I am on faculty with UC Davis Health, where I provide virtual therapy and supervise and teach psychology trainees and psychiatry residents.

I specialize in issues of self-identity, body image, eating disorders, LGBTQIA+, religious trauma, emotion regulation, neurodivergence ( autism, HSP, ADHD, etc.), and boundary work.
Therapy is a vulnerable experience that can often feel scary and overwhelming in the beginning. It's important to find a therapist who aligns with our unique values and beliefs as human beings. Motivation to change is often present, but putting hopes and dreams into action can be daunting and feel next to impossible in the grand scheme of life. I love empowering my clients to tap into hidden strengths, embrace challenges, and foster a deeper level of self love and acceptance. Life feels lighter and brighter when we learn how to love ourselves, flaws and all.

I have over 10 years of clinical experience working with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, autoimmune disorders, ADHD, and Autism and also with Creatives, Millennials, Caregivers, and HSPs.
Hello there. So 2025 has already been a year- devastating wildfires and a polarized and divisive political climate. This is a place to process how scary, angering, exhausting, depressing, confusing, lonely, and stressful it all feels right now. We probably won’t solve the world’s problems, but we can start by listening to you and your internal world to make sense of all this chaos.
