About Me

As a licensed Clinical Psychologist in California, my intention is to provide warm, attentive, empathetic, and results-oriented care to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. Collaborative problem-solving is emphasized in an effort to ensure that each person in the family system feels heard and understood. Through a compassionate approach and a space in which vulnerability, mental health, healthy boundaries, and self-compassion are normalized, we can cultivate the kind of therapeutic relationship that leads to relief, true transformation and lasting change. The therapeutic process involves commitment, courage, and teamwork; as a result, I have deep respect for those who are willing to seek help during difficult times in their lives.​ By identifying and disrupting distorted response patterns, it is my hope to help find healing and forgiveness around past hurts and restore appropriate self-worth, realistic optimism, relational health and the courage to act from love.
