About

Hello and welcome! I have been working with individuals and couples for over a decade, helping them improve the way they feel about themselves and enhance the quality of their relationships. Common feedback from clients is that they can’t believe the details I remember from past sessions and how they feel listened to and understood in a way they haven’t experienced before. It’s with this close understanding that I’m able to help clients create solutions to problems they didn’t think were solvable.

Modern day life increasingly necessitates managing multiple roles and stressors, but it also has numerous ways to distract and numb ourselves. It’s easy to become disconnected from our relationships and ourselves, and lose sight of our values and goals. Engaging in therapy provides a unique opportunity to slow down, examine our emotional and behavioral patterns that may no longer be effective, and make more conscious choices about how to live. In a warm and respectful environment, I will help you define your goals and create a supportive and collaborative partnership that empowers you to achieve them.

I’m a doctoral level psychologist who trained at Stanford University. My previous career was in the business world, so I have a keen ability to connect with stressed out professionals who want to find a balance between the demands of one’s career and family. Some of my specialties include working with relationship and interpersonal concerns, feelings of anxiety and depression, self-doubt and insecurity, assertiveness training, parenting concerns, women’s issues, and life transitions. I use an integrative approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and solution-focused techniques.
