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 culturally responsive. 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.
