Warm, understanding and insightful. I see the best in my clients and help them rediscover the best parts of themselves or provide the tools to do so.

I draw on multiple theories (attachment, person centered, CBT, motivational interviewing, family systems, narrative) to reflect how past experiences shape current feelings and behaviors. I help remove shame/guilt through education and reframing.

Collaborate to 1) uncover root causes for present feelings and behaviors and 2) develop strategies and tools to reduce unwanted feelings or behaviors and 3) build confidence, a sense of agency, and greater understanding of self and others.

Are having relationship difficulties, such as feeling tension and frustration or finding themselves in the same unwanted situations. I work with clients who want to feel more confident, motivated and able to make choices that meet their values/goals.

Everyone deserve a voice in therapy and I work with people that have typically been marginalized, including neurodivergent or disabled.

I offer therapy to everyone in California and Washington state, via Telehealth.

I enjoy the science behind psychology and have Ph.D. in clinical psychology with 25 years of medical research, which has led to understanding of people. I would love to explore your story with you to see if we can find the reasons you feel this way.
