The most important thing in working with me is your positive desire to change. Given that I'll bring you into the office, we will discuss your issues of concern and design and implement suggestions to create growth , understanding and lasting solutions. Many clients see me once for behavior change through hypnotherapy. Others see me for ongoing psychotherapy appointments. Some clients combine both modalities to insure continued growth and change. I am optimistic about the possibilities of health and healing through our work together. After forty years in practice I remain committed to my clients and their work with me

A Harvard and Stanford trained clinical neuropsychologist and therapist, my passion is helping individuals heal after trauma, chronic illness and major life changes. Has something happened and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Do you feel overwhelmed simply trying to get through the day? Do you feel anxious, angry, or stuck? If so, you're not alone! People who have experienced major events and illnesses often feel frustrated, uncertain, and overwhelmed. They worry that this will go on forever. But there is hope. I can help you to focus your mind, calm your senses, process your feelings, and rekindle joy.

I think of therapy as the opening of a conversation. Often, the struggles that bring us to therapy are actually invitations—doorways to growth, change, and new possibilities. I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology and licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I offer Telehealth services to support clients throughout the state. My approach is tailored to the individual. I work collaboratively with each client to identify personal strengths and inner resources as the foundation for navigating life’s challenges. My style is warm, open, and actively engaged.

We all at some point in our life face crises or transitions that can become an opportunity for growth. Bob Dylan's song, "Times are a changin'" aptly describes our current state of the world. It's easy to be negatively affected! Seeking psychological help is not a weakness, but a sign of strength. I love working with clients who have a desire to grow stronger & happier. I help clients break through patterns of anxiety, depression, anger, & low self-esteem. I work with both individuals and couples, teaching nuanced communication skills towards the goal of deep, fun-loving, relationships.

I initially specialized in treating PTSD, and trauma therapy continues to be one of my main passions. I have a diverse experience with a wide range of mental health/neurological disorders but more importantly, an ideal patient would be one who is open and willing to process difficult topics and memories as opposed to continuing to engage in avoidance (a short term bandage for a long term injury). I describe my style as collaborative, directive, and solution oriented, but also find power in allowing clients to process deep rooted issues in a non-judgmental way. **Please note I do not accept insurance***

I work with adults, couples, families, adolescents, and older adults navigating anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, caregiving stress, life transitions, and longstanding patterns that can leave people feeling stuck.
My approach is relational, psychodynamic, and collaborative. I attend to both immediate concerns and deeper emotional and relational patterns that shape your experience. I provide therapy in person, by Zoom, and by phone, and offer home and care-facility visits when appropriate. I work at a pace that respects each person’s readiness and capacity for change.

My work embraces two levels. 1. Licensed clinical psychologist with a range of classical methods. 2.

Clients develop a more powerful sense of relaxed self-esteem and an effective understanding of how to manage life traumas and stress more effectively. Several publications in mental health and medical neurofeedback. "The Encyclopedia of Mental Health", "Neurofeedback First 50 Years". The combination of clinical therapy and medical neurofeedback can be powerful, healing, and transformative in its ability to change lives.

Many people, perhaps like yourself, find relationship issues with family, spouses, work colleagues very challenging and often these relationships evoke anxiety, anger and fear. Some people have had very difficult upbringings, and while they appear to cope, they are often emotionally surviving rather than thriving. This is a valid reason to seek therapeutic attention.

People-pleasing. Comparing yourself to everyone around you. Feeling like you're still not enough no matter what you accomplish, while your own needs sit last on the list, if they make the list at all. You learned to read a room before you learned to trust your own reactions in it. My individual clients are often Asian American professionals untangling an enmeshed or narcissistic parent, dating or married across cultural lines, or adjusting to a new city or country while family expectations don't adjust with them. 如果中文更能表达你的真实感受，欢迎用中文预约咨询——一起探索原生家庭与自我认同的议题。

People can feel stuck in their lives for many reasons. You may have vague feelings of dissatisfaction, or have an idea of what isn’t working but struggle to find a way forward. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed by familiar feelings from earlier difficulties or trauma that are being stirred up by current situations. My aim is to help you uncover the meanings and underlying causes of patterns of thinking, feeling, and interacting that may be holding you back. These can emerge in addressing day-to-day challenges, or while untangling old narratives formed by deeply rooted experiences.

My work is grounded in a relational and body-oriented approach to therapy. I draw on the immense resources of the body-- its rich wisdom to support the cultivation of mindful presence, internal resource, gentle self inquiry/guidance and embodiment. Creating space for you to listen to your voice and inner experience allows for both depth and breath of understanding, as well as authentic expression and acceptance.

I work with individuals and couples who feel disconnected, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. My approach is warm, relational, and grounded in both evidence-based therapy and mind-body practices. I believe healing happens not just through insight, but through creating safety in the nervous system and building a deeper relationship with yourself and others. Many of my clients are high-functioning, thoughtful people who appear “fine” on the outside but feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally disconnected on the inside. Together, we slow things down, get curious about what’s beneath the surface.

My experience working in the helping professions ranges from public schools to private practice. As well as a therapist, I am a mother; a partner in a bi-cultural household; the daughter of a single immigrant mom; and currently a care provider to my aging parent. Apart from family and work, I focus on political activism and community development projects in Mexico.
I work best with clients who believe in change. Our work might focus on removing the grasp that worry and fear have on them or on removing other obstacles to well being such as grief, oppression, resentment, life transitions, unhealthy relationships, and self-doubt.
