Great to meet you!

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California with 27 years of experience helping individuals navigate life's challenges. I offer tele-health only sessions from the comfort of your home, making care accessible no matter where you are in California. I accept Anthem and Magellan insurance. My practice is intentionally small — I keep a limited caseload so every client receives my full attention and care. I am warm, experienced, and deeply committed to showing up for the people I work with.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in building a genuine, trusting relationship with each client. After nearly three decades in practice, I've learned that lasting change comes when clients feel truly heard and understood. I tailor my work to each individual — drawing on evidence-based methods while remaining flexible to what you actually need. Sessions are 45 minutes, focused and intentional, designed to help you make real progress without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

What you can expect from me

Our first session is a conversation — not a quiz. I'll take time to get to know you, understand what brought you in, and hear what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with right away. By the end of our first meeting, we'll have a sense of direction and a plan for how we'll work together. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and a little less alone with whatever you're carrying.
