We all experience stress, anxiety, and sadness, so it is important to have a safe place to express yourself with compassionate guidance. I am a clinical psychologist committed to helping you work through life's challenges, in a warm, supportive, and empathic environment. I specialize in working with individuals who experience depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, grief/loss, caregiver burden, as well as to those who struggle with assertiveness, effective communication, career/life transitions, and relationship difficulties. Finally, I also offer testing for adult ADHD and targeted therapy to decrease the impact of ADHD in daily life.
I have formal training in evidence-based practices, and most commonly use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I tailor treatment to meet your unique goals. I have extensive experience working with adults across the lifespan, including students, aging populations, first responders, and their adult family members.
Using a collaborative approach, along with evidence-informed interventions, I aim to help you reconnect to what is important so that you can live a meaningful life. I am based in the Bay Area community, and work with anyone who resides in California. To decrease burden of accessing services, I offer telehealth appointments.

I specialize in supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, interpersonal stress, and balancing demands of life. During our initial sessions, we will identify the areas that you would like to address in therapy. We will create a plan that allows you to more fully connect with your life in a meaningful way. Most clients attend weekly sessions for 3-4 months, and taper based on progress.
