Contemplating therapy is a brave first step. I specialize in trauma, psychosis, couple and family dynamics, children/adolescents, and immigrant/cultural issues,. As Assistant Professor, I am up-to-date in the latest research and treatment methods. With 20 years of Bay Area experience, I would be honored to support you in your journey to flourish in life and relationships. Teletherapy or in-person. New group forming in January 2026 Wednesday and Friday evening.
Starting with hearing your concerns or pain, we'll then select effective, evidence-based processes to suit your needs: depth therapy for deeper issues, short-term solution-focused sessions, exploring the bigger meaning of life, or practicing with the power of acceptance and mindfulness.
Hallmarks of warmth, understanding, and a safe space will give you confidence in yourself and in me for collaborative work. I truly believe that all people can heal, find their true self, and live a fulfilling life.
