I listen carefully to your needs and tailor treatment accordingly. In most cases my approach is Mindfulness-based, which heightens awareness of thoughts and feelings, teaches skills for stress management, and promotes more effective choices. When working with relationships/couples I focus on improving communication, safety, intimacy, and resolving past upset. My therapeutic style provides encouragement, skills-training, and insight in a safe and non-judgmental space. Helping others is my life's greatest passion, which is reflected by the curiosity, humor, dedication, and kindness in my work. My goal is to give clients the tools they need so therapy is no longer needed. Expect to both laugh and cry.

In my generalist practice I have expertise in the treatment of anxiety disorders (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, trauma, phobias, panic attacks), managing intrusive and unwanted thoughts and compulsions (OCD), attention problems (ADHD), and relationship challenges. Other areas of interest include dating etiquette, mindfulness meditation training, life transitions (e.g., new job, city, divorce), and supporting people who've experienced emotional neglect and abuse. Recently, I've been supporting people cope with new political realities. I am a psychologist, which is a doctoral level degree (Ph.D) that allows for a broad scope of practice including assessment, research, teaching, and treatment. I have worked in a variety of large institutions such as Kaiser Permanente, a California state hospital, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, and a university counseling center. I work with adults and teens in individual and couples therapy.
