Compassionate Therapy for Anxiety, Relationships, and Mental Health
I am a licensed psychologist with over two decades of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, and families. My practice focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal skills to address anxiety, mood disorders, and health challenges. Specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, I offer tailored support for diverse populations including LGBTQIA+, neurodiverse individuals, and those with chronic medical conditions. My collaborative approach emphasizes creating a safe, confidential space for clients to achieve personal growth and strengthen relationships.With a background in multidisciplinary pain management teams and school-based settings, I integrate medical and psychological expertise to address complex needs. My work with teens, young adults, and families addresses parenting challenges, behavioral pain management, and neuroimmune conditions. Publications and professional contributions reflect my commitment to advancing therapeutic practices. Located in Redwood City, California, I provide services to local communities and individuals seeking specialized mental health support.
