About me

What makes me different

Education

I hold a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Palo Alto University and completed my predoctoral residency at Denver Health Medical Center and an advanced postdoctoral fellowship in OCD and other anxiety disorders.

Experience

My experience is diverse, ranging from neuropsychology training at Stanford, couples therapy at the Gottman Institute, and working in integrated healthcare, trauma recovery in a county jail, and consulting for a biotech startup, all leading to a specialization in anxiety and couples therapy.

Approach

My therapy approach is grounded in evidence-based, data-driven methods delivered with unwavering compassion. I strongly believe that taking care of ourselves is the most important, authentic, powerful, and rebellious action we can take.

My specialties

I specialize in treating a variety of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (such as hair pulling and skin picking), and Sleep Disorders.

Anxiety

I specialize in treating a variety of anxiety disorders, including Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, PTSD, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias and Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (such as hair pulling and skin picking).

Anxiety

With three additional years of specialized postdoctoral experience in OCD at EBTCS, I have successfully worked with a variety of OCD themes. I incorporate ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) in a time-limited format to provide effective treatment.

OCD

My approach involves trauma-informed care, specializing in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and exposure therapy. I create a safe and supportive space for healing at your own pace.

Trauma

Grief is an inherent part of the human experience, one that often finds its way into our lives, sometimes unexpectedly. I am dedicated to exploring and understanding the complex facets of grief, including the loss of loved ones, breakups, pet bereavement, and the often-overlooked realm of disenfranchised and anticipatory grief.

Grief

As a Gottman Level-2 trained therapist, I am committed to helping couples navigate through different phases and transitions in life. With almost a decade of experience in working with diverse couples in various treatment settings, I understand that couples therapy can be a powerful tool to strengthen relationships.

Couples

Based on my research training at Stanford University School of Medicine and clinical experience in various hospital settings, I am deeply passionate about the relationship between sleep and mental health. Whether you are dealing with a diagnosed sleep disorder or simply looking to improve your sleep, I am here to assist you in achieving more efficient rest.
