Introduction

As a clinical psychologist, I find it to be a tremendous honor and privilege to guide people back to their true and best self. I have over 20 years experience in the field of mental health. I've enjoyed working in a university counseling center with young adults and spent several years providing therapy and assessment services for an outpatient Kaiser Psychiatry adult clinic prior to opening a private practice. I am a mindfulness based practitioner using a client-centered approach and employ evidence based practices as appropriate. Creating a non-judgmental and safe therapeutic space that allows for connection, curiosity, and transformation is my goal! As your therapist, it is my task to understand your particular situation and bring forth the appropriate tools and techniques that will allow you to flourish.
