Therapists in California

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Gerontologist/Life Coach and hold three master's degrees in clinical psychology, social work, and gerontology. We age from birth with many challenges and changes as we grow older. A burden shared is a burden lifted. Accomplish your goals and move forward. Learning lessons from the past, and understanding your thinking process and internal dialogue will empower you with new insights and direction. There is no need to drive to your therapist's office at rush hour. The therapist is zoomed via a HIPAA compliant platform into the comfort of your home. Let's get started now.

Building solid, trusting relationships is among my greatest strengths as a therapist. It is essential for me to help you work on your issues without fear of criticism and a secure sense that you feel accepted. I strive to create a safe, productive place for you to grow, learn and change. I take a comprehensive approach in my work so that we may consider your life experiences, biology and social environment - all of which influence who you are. We will work collaboratively to identify and change repetitive patterns that may be getting in your way. I work with eating disorders, body dysmorphia, depression/ mood disorders, anxiety, as well as various other issues as they pertain to relationships. I have had success in working with individuals who struggle with high emotional reactivity, as well as having difficulty coping and self soothing. Through this journey, we will work together to understand and improve each unique life circumstance.

I'm a bilingual licensed clinical psychologist who values the unique stories and backgrounds each person brings into the room. I believe that change begins with feeling seen and heard, and I am committed to creating a space where you can explore your thoughts, experiences, and goals. I take an inquisitive approach to therapy where we explore patterns and challenges while also encouraging my patients to take meaningful steps towards the goals they set for themselves.

I attended internship (our version of residency, more or less) at the UC Davis Medical Center, where I received world-class training in the treatment of childhood trauma and early psychosis, both separately and together.
