I was trained as a clinical scientist at UC Berkeley and have been dedicated to providing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) in a compassionate, warm, individualized, flexible, and collaborative manner for over 10 years. Many of my patients are accomplished and highly intelligent people who are objectively doing well in their lives but experience feelings of shame, depression, irritability, trouble sleeping, anxiety, and difficulty managing their emotions. I am also passionate about working with parents and caregivers who are supporting a neurodivergent child or adult loved one.
I work with each patient to implement an individualized treatment plan that integrates evidence based, change-oriented strategies with awareness of each person's unique goals, values, and strengths. My patients and I work together actively and flexibly to help them implement practical tools and learn new ways of thinking and behaving.
I believe that each person has a depth of wisdom and strength. Effective therapy helps us tap into this wisdom and strength so we can challenge ourselves to change, learn, and grow. Please see my website for data on my treatment outcomes. I look forward to hearing from you!
