I am a licensed psychologist working with adults navigating depression, anxiety, PTSD, insomnia, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and chronic pain. I earned my PsyD in Clinical Psychology through the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium at Palo Alto University.
My approach is collaborative, humanistic, and grounded in evidence-based care. I draw primarily on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches — but the specifics matter less to me than the fit between us. I am as interested in what gives your life meaning and direction as I am in addressing what brought you in, and I try to build a therapeutic relationship that feels like real teamwork, where we work side by side.
In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you. I will ask about what brings you to therapy right now, gather some background, and hear about any past experience with therapy. I hope to cultivate a space that feels welcoming and unrushed, at a pace that works for you. Above all, that first session is about figuring out together whether I am the right fit.
