I am a licensed clinical therapist in California with 21 years of professional work experience. I believe strongly in understanding the connection between our physical and mental health. I provide evidence-based psychotherapy that is values-driven, mindful of our individuality and culture, and emphasizes the importance of physical health and lifestyle to direct appropriate treatment plan. I utilize DBT, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, solution focused, motivational interviewing and psychodynamic modalities to treat a broad range of mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, stress, grief, adjustment and problems with mood. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
