I work with clients who are struggling with anxiety, challenging life transitions, or new roles (e.g., caregiving, parenthood, breakups, juggling family and professional life). I often work with high-achieving individuals in demanding fields (e.g, physicians, attorneys, entrepreneurs) who are facing burnout and barriers to growth. I also have expertise working with family caregivers of loved ones with dementia or chronic illness. I have training in evidence-based therapies (CBT, ACT, EFT) for a wide range of problems.
I completed my APA-accredited doctoral training at the SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program and my clinical internship at UCLA. I also hold degrees from Stanford University and LSE. I am volunteer clinical faculty at UCLA and formerly Internship Training Director and Assistant Professor at the Alliant/California School of Professional Psychology.
My approach is to develop a plan that is most effective for your particular needs and is realistic for your lifestyle. My practice is currently fully virtual using a HIPAA-compliant platform and I offer early morning, evening, and weekend sessions.
