Hello! I received a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University and completed my clinical training at Stanford University. I have been a licensed psychologist in California with over 10 years of experience, working with diverse individuals struggling with life's stressors, hardships and obstacles. I hope to work with you and guide you to gain meaningful understanding and insight into your life by making positive changes that promote emotional and physical health.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The first session is an opportunity to do 2 things: 1) to determine whether we would be a good fit in starting treatment together and 2) to spend time talking to you so I can better understand your needs, struggles and goals and what you are hoping to gain from therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is creating a safe, therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust, openness and collaboration. I believe this serves as the foundation in exploring difficult or painful feelings, identifying areas of growth and making lasting changes outside of the therapeutic space that will hopefully lead to notable growth and progress.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Interpersonal
I use an integrative approach to tailor the treatment to each client's needs and goals with a focus on exploring relationships that may be impacting our lives (relationship with ourselves, our family and friends, partner, work relationship, etc).
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my treatment, I also utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy to target negative thoughts and assumptions that may be playing a role in creating and perpetuating our emotional distress.
