Welcome! I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a focus on anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.

Psychologist in San Mateo, CA

About My Clients

It is very common to experience distressing emotions at various points in our lives. When this happens, we often engage in unhelpful patterns of behavior or thought that maintain and exacerbate the problem. This leads us to feel stuck and even hopeless. I hope to be able to help you better recognize and understand your emotions, and provide a place of validation and support. In addition, I will work with you to adopt new and healthier coping strategies.

My Background and Approach

I received my BA in Cognitive Science from Johns Hopkins University, and my MA and PhD from Hofstra University. I have worked in a variety of settings including university counseling centers, community clinics, and outpatient hospital clinics. I specialize in working with young adults and adults struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and general life stress. I have expertise in CBT, and also utilize skills from ACT, DBT, and Gottman methods for couples therapy when appropriate.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
