LICENSED CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I am a licensed psychologist in the state of California (PSY #32312). I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety and mood disorders, OCD, experiences of trauma, and eating disorders. Often, my clients are navigating challenging life circumstances or have identified something causing distress or interfering with their goals. My clients benefit from time and space to explore and share their inner experiences in a supportive and nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where we work together to identify recurring themes and patterns, and modify those that no longer serve them.
I recognize that participating in therapy takes courage. My approach is warm, empathetic, and focused on behavioral changes, growth, and solutions. I emphasize collaboration and tailor treatment to each individual, understanding that every client is an expert on their unique experiences and that therapy is a partnership.
I provide evidence-based treatment for a range of mental health concerns. I work primarily from a CBT framework, and regularly integrate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I practice from a Health At Every Size (HAES) ® perspective to support my clients in healing their relationships with food, body, and self. I have specialized training in Family Based Treatment (FBT) for eating disorders, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Behavioral Activation (BA), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and use these techniques and modalities to help my clients get “unstuck” and grow. In addition to my clinical practice, I am actively involved in medical and psychological research, and integrate the most up-to-date findings to support my clients in their healing journeys.
