My clients are adults from diverse backgrounds who seek therapy for a variety of issues. I enjoy working with individuals who are open to examining their experiences and who are interested in creating meaningful lives for themselves. I specialize in the treatment of issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, grief and loss, health concerns, and life transitions.

My approach to therapy is client-centered, collaborative, and strength-based, with a therapeutic style that is compassionate and genuine. I utilize evidence-based therapies including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), as well as interpersonal and psychodynamic approaches.
One of the most rewarding aspects of this work is seeing my clients gain insights, make positive changes, and engage more fully in their lives. My clients inspire me with their resilience and perseverance and I feel grateful to be able to assist them toward greater psychological flexibility and well-being.
I believe in my clients’ potential for change. The therapeutic relationship is a unique context that can facilitate such healing and growth. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them better understand their experiences, connect with their values, engage in effective behaviors, and lead fulfilling lives.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with a doctorate from the PGSP-Stanford Psy.D. Consortium. I completed my predoctoral internship at the VA Loma Linda Health Care System and my postdoctoral fellowship at the San Francisco VA Medical Center. My training also includes clinical practica at the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the VA Palo Alto Health Care System, San Jose State University, UCSF AIDS Health Project, and Santa Clara University. Prior to joining the SF Stress and Anxiety Center, I was a staff psychologist at Notre Dame de Namur University Counseling Services. Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy running, going to the beach, and spending time with family and friends.
