I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California with many years of experience, including a decade focused on working with military members, law enforcement, and corrections professionals. I now work with a wider range of clients through telehealth, bringing that same focused, no-nonsense approach to everyday mental health challenges. Whether you're navigating anxiety, major life transitions, or something you've never quite put into words — I'm here for all of it.
I believe the most important thing I can do in a session is be fully present with you — tracking what you say, how you say it, and the things you don't say. I'm direct and collaborative: I'll share what I'm noticing, ask questions that push you to think, and work alongside you to build real skills and insight. My style is warm but honest — I'd rather help you make genuine progress than just make you feel comfortable.
Our first session is a conversation, not an evaluation. I'll want to know what brings you in, what you've tried before, and what you're hoping life looks like on the other side of therapy. I'll share a bit about how I work, too, so we can both decide if this feels like the right fit. You'll leave with a clear sense of direction — and hopefully a little less alone with whatever brought you here.
