​

​

I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing compassionate evidence-based psychotherapy to adults and adolescents. This work is a life calling to me and I am passionate about helping clients quiet the self-critic that lives inside us all. My clients learn how to practice self-compassion and use mindfulness to cope with the challenges in life.  I specialize in helping people with difficulties like anxiety, depression and stress. I use an integrative approach to therapy that incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, relaxation and acceptance (ACT) strategies. My style is often experienced as warm, thoughtful and collaborative. 

 

I completed training at University of California, San Diego (UCSD), Rady Children’s Hospital, San Diego and in Primary Care offering integrated behavioral health. I am a trained Mindfulness teacher through the UCSD Center for Mindfulness and I practice mindfulness and self-compassion in my everyday life. I look forward to collaborating with you; it is truly a privilege for me to sit with people in times of healing, growth and change.
