I’m a Columbia-trained psychologist specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship challenges. My approach blends Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help resolve the emotionally charged experiences that keep you stuck in outdated patterns. Therapy with me is focused, collaborative, and often surprisingly clarifying. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back—and help you move toward a more grounded, meaningful, and balanced life.
Unresolved trauma often echoes through how we connect with others, shaped by early family dynamics and attachment patterns. These old imprints can lead to conflict, withdrawal, or emotional distance. In therapy, we’ll trace the roots of these patterns and work toward building deeper trust, emotional balance, and more fulfilling relationships.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist offering in-person therapy in Berkeley, CA, as well as online across California. With a PhD from Columbia and extensive experience in trauma treatment, I bring both expertise and a deep commitment to my work. My passion is helping clients turn psychological challenges into opportunities for growth and lasting change.
