Dublin, CA - Accepting clients in CA
Do you feel that you have been pulled in a thousand directions? Are you struggling with self-care, low self-esteem, negative thinking, your job, or your relationships? Is it hard for you to relax? I help clients manage anxiety, and depression and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify your work/life balance. We'll use a whole-self approach addressing the needs of your body and mind to achieve your therapeutic goals. I also use mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and Psychoanalytic therapy to help identify and build a stronger relationship with yourself.
Whether you are dealing with relationship issues, being overwhelmed, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, life transitions, acclimation, addiction, or recovery, I'm here to support you. Seeking therapy can be scary but it is the first step in helping your well-being. You deserve a space where you can grow, heal, and become more reflective.
In our sessions together, I'll meet you with comparison and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the issues and habits that are holding you back. I want to help you improve the quality of your life and provide you with a support system. I look forward to working with you.

I have been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in southern California for 15 years, working with children, adults and families.
I have over 24 years of experience with the neuro-atypical diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. Individuals with either of these neuro-atypical disorders experience many social challenges, sensory challenges, and misperceptions by the outside world (along with a lot of bad/unhelp advice). It can bring tremendous relief to receive relevant suggestions and understanding of the life experiences that accompany these diagnoses.
I have extensive experience working with individuals their and families in navigating what to do next after receiving a developmental diagnosis, such as ASD. It surprises so many families that there are many resources to assist with the struggles they have gone through or anticipate that they will go through. I have helped parents to understand their neuro-atypical child better, and the neuro-atypical person to understand themselves and their roles in life better. This has lead to the person with the neuro-atypical diagnosis experiencing more successes in their roles as a student/co-worker, classmate, family member, partner, and friend.

Growing up in Silicon Valley, I learned to live from the head and to achieve, seriously burning out at several points along the way and being gravely disconnected from my body and my voice. Yearning for a more grounded and alive way of being, I turned to the traditions of mindfulness, Buddhism, and somatics (body-based practices).
I now connect to my clients from this place: recognizing something needs to change, some pattern(s) need to be interrupted, and wanting to come into a more present, alive, and whole-hearted way of living. By returning to the body, we can tap into your wisdom, your aliveness, and your true self for you and within your relationships.
I love to work with fellow recovering over-achievers, caregivers/ parents, neurodivergent folks, queer folks, and teens and I also offer parent-teen & family sessions.

About
Are you feeling unfulfilled in your relationships, choices, and just life? Those who feel detached from those around them often believe they're a burden and bring no value to those around them. If any of that resonated with you, you may feel disconnected from different areas of your life, such as work, relationships, family, and interests. Many individuals go through life never feeling like they belong and lack fulfillment, joy, and a sense of identity. You're here looking to finally put yourself first, to find a sense of satisfaction in your life, and I'd love to be part of that journey so you no longer feel alone.
I take great pride in helping individuals find their sense of belonging and overcoming deep negative schemas that they aren't worthy of love. I do this by helping you work through those fears of abandonment, criticism, and rejection. Forming healthy relationships and attachments are instrumental in my approach, and you'll never feel alone.
Life is challenging, and it's an even bigger struggle when we are our worst enemies. You may feel like a burden to those around you, but you won't have to feel that way in our therapeutic relationship. I invite you to have a free 15-minute consultation with me to ask any questions or concerns you may have.
I look forward to being part of your journey.

As a clinical psychologist with a background in the medical field, I bring an evidence-based, integrative approach to therapy that considers the full complexity of mind and body. Whether related to health, school, relationships, or job stress, I help individuals navigate life’s challenges by identifying maladaptive patterns and fostering healthier, more effective behaviors. I work collaboratively with clients to enhance personal effectiveness, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of purpose and meaning in life.
I earned my doctorate from the PAU-Stanford Consortium in Palo Alto. I also received my undergraduate degree and medical training from UCLA.

I work towards building trust with clients. My practice focuses on helping those who struggle with managing stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, and women's issues. People tell me often that i have a calm presence. I do enjoy providing realistic skills, people enjoy practicality and need immediate relief from distress at times. Why wouldn't i teach my clients to find relief from the overwhelming stress.

Hello. I am an LMFT and I have been practicing for over 30 years. I specialize in life transitions; how to look back to move forward, how to become unstuck and unafraid, how to find strength and courage to face whatever comes next. I meet and honor each client where they are without having an agenda of where they should go. That is up to them and hopefully, through our work together, they will dicover their path.

Hi there! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in California with 20 years of experience in the field. After earning my Master’s from New York University, I’ve dedicated my career to supporting young adults and teens who face challenges in peer relationships, anxiety, and confidence. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique struggles this age group faces and have had the privilege of guiding many individuals toward becoming their most empowered, authentic selves. My approach combines compassion, evidence-based strategies, and a strong belief in each person’s ability to grow and thrive.
