About Me
Hi - I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience providing therapy to adults. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, grounded in science, and tailored to meet the individual needs of my clients. I provide in person sessions in my office in downtown San Mateo. I have extensive training and experience working with a range of clinical issues, including anxiety, life transitions, stress, trauma/PTSD, adjustment challenges, and relationship concerns.
Education & Experience
I completed my PhD in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in health psychology at Syracuse University. I then went on to complete my pre-doctoral internship in Behavioral Medicine at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System. I also completed a 3-year postdoctoral fellowship in PTSD at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System and Stanford University School of Medicine, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.
