About me
Experienced psychologist dedicated to helping adults tackle their anxiety, depression and anger so as to reach their full potential.
My professional background is diverse having worked in corporate, academic, sports environments and of course clinical private practice. I worked as an Employee Assistance Program psychologist onsite at Lockheed Martin, General Electric and PG&E counseling employees and providing consultation to managers and supervisors at many different companies. I was the Sports Clinical Psychologist at Stanford University for over a decade. And most important to me was maintaining a private practice helping adults improve their functioning and emotional well-being. To do this, I use a variety of tools such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment therapy, and Interpersonal therapy with a Humanistic background. Rather than being tied to any one approach, I prefer to blend elements from different approaches and tailor treatment according to each client's needs.
My belief is that people generally want to grow and be in charge of their growth so my job is help them see what is possible and to aid them in removing emotional, cognitive and behavioral barriers to reaching their potential. I am doing a lot of online work now since during Covid times I found that online therapy works really well (to my surprise back then!) and my clients like it and appreciate the time savings of not commuting to an office. If my description resonates with you, I invite you to email or call me to set up an introductory session.
