I'm a licensed clinical psychologist serving youth and adults in Marin County. I earned my Ph.D. from Palo Alto University and my undergraduate degree from Loyola Marymount University. I have extensive experience providing therapeutic interventions from a variety of modalities, including individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, group therapy to children, adolescents, and families, and parent coaching to address needs across a range of developmental stages.

Joining Bridge to Bridge as Co-Director was an easy decision to make, as I knew I was amongst a deeply talented group of clinicians, many of whom I have worked with in the past. Prior to this, I was the manager of the Child Psychiatry Department at Kaiser in San Rafael and Petaluma. I spent more than five years treating youth in the Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program. Before Kaiser, I worked at UCSF Benioff in the Psychological Services department. I have specialized training in the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (S.P.A.C.E.) treatment program and in the Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) approach for OCD, anxiety (of all kinds), and phobias.

My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in evidenced-based treatments, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure therapy (ERP), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which I tailor to an individual's specific needs and goals. While the focus of our sessions will be on navigating challenges you may be facing, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship difficulties, trauma, or some other difficulty, my approach is always through a lens of strength and resiliency. The goal is never to prevent problems or stress, but rather to provide tools to withstand adversity, bounce back, and grow to one’s full potential. I strive to support authentic identity-development, setting of meaningful goals, and accountability to one’s values, in a warm, collaborative, and judgment-free way. 

I look forward to meeting you!
