About me
Evidence-based treatments for overcoming anxiety, panic, phobias, and OCD and healing from trauma.
As a Clinical Psychologist licensed in California with more than 17 years in practice, I have experience helping clients manage and overcome depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, anger, health concerns, insomnia & parenting challenges. I also specialize in working with older adults to address the mental, emotional, and health changes that aging brings. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and related treatments, which focuses on understanding current challenges and developing new skills and ways of thinking. It is an active form of therapy where I view myself as a coach/mentor who collaboratively establishes goals and helps clients build the skills and thought patterns needed to achieve those goals. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I look forward to supporting you on your journey.
