The ultimate investment in yourself
The most important relationship you’ll ever have is the one you cultivate with yourself. When you strengthen this foundation, it transforms how you navigate relationships, work, parenting, and life as a whole. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply seeking greater clarity, therapy provides a space to explore, heal, and grow.
I approach therapy as a collaborative partnership. You define the areas to focus on, and I bring my expertise to help create meaningful change. Together, we’ll unpack how you arrived at this point and develop a roadmap for your journey ahead. Throughout the process, I’ll be by your side, offering practical tools, thoughtful feedback, and genuine encouragement.
Partnering with you to make lasting change
I utilize my 15+ years of training and experience to meet your unique needs. Using a trauma-informed and pragmatic framework, I draw from evidence-based therapies such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment theory, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic approaches.
My work is grounded in warmth, curiosity, and a deep understanding of your individual experiences. I listen attentively, offering support and honest feedback as we address the challenges that hold you back. Together, we’ll build on your strengths and innate resilience to help you achieve growth and create a more fulfilling life.
Background
Before discovering my life’s work as a psychologist, I worked in the corporate world, exploring various roles that never felt right. My life took a transformative turn when I began volunteering on a parental crisis hotline. This experience opened my eyes to the work I was meant to do. I pursued my doctoral degree, earning a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I was fortunate to complete an American Psychological Association accredited internship at Sharp Healthcare in San Diego, CA followed by a postdoctoral fellowship at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA. Since obtaining my license, I have spent many years working part-time in Behavioral Medicine at Kaiser Permanente. In addition to this role, I maintain a private practice in Danville, CA.
Each day, I have the privilege of working with individuals who courageously choose the path of growth. It is an honor to be part of this process, and I look forward to supporting you.
