I am a licensed psychologist providing compassionate evidenced-based psychotherapy to adults in the Bay Area. I specialize in helping people with difficulties like depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship problems, life transitions including pregnancy and parenthood, health problems and pain conditions. Through my work I aim to help people improve their well-being, self-fulfillment, health and relationships. I enjoy my work as a therapist immensely and feel honored to be given the opportunity to work with people during some of the more challenging times of their lives.

I view therapy as a collaborative, dynamic process that increases ability to cope with adversity while also improving self-awareness and acceptance. I can help with a new problem or work on difficulties you have struggled with for years. I use an integrative approach that incorporates cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, relaxation and acceptance strategies.

My style is often experienced as warm, thoughtful and collaborative. I value working with diverse individuals and creating a safe space in which you can experience personal growth and healing. Please feel free to reach out for a free 20 min phone consultation to discuss what you are going through and see if my skills and experience are are good fit.
