People often think therapy is a place to vent; it definitely CAN be that - validation is important. Therapy is also a place where you are challenged to see things differently, face your fears and take steps toward creating the life you deserve. It can be scary, which is why having a therapist is so helpful. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I will point out the barriers in your way (even the ones you might be accidentally putting there yourself), so you can overcome them. Therapy can be long-term, but it doesn't have to be. Part of my job is to help you become your own therapist, so you don't need me as much (or at all!)
I got my PhD in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University with an emphasis in neuroscience and women’s health in collaboration with Stanford University School of Medicine. I also trained at Sharp Mesa Vista, where I used CBT and DBT interventions to address self-harm, suicidal ideation, and intense anger.
In the first few sessions, you and I will set realistic goals that will guide our treatment. I may also give you homework to practice outside of session to build on what you learn with me, including setting boundaries with loved ones, challenging thoughts, or planning activities. I see clients in-person in San Diego, and virtually all over California.

People usually see me for help with affairs, problems at work, or conflicts at home. Therapy can help you completely change your internal narrative to quiet the "inner critic" that might be talking you out of living your life (or talking you into a conflict!). I'll help you design a treatment plan that involves changing that inner voice and tackling your current problems head on.

The approaches I use (CBT, DBT, Gottman Method) focus on exploring situations happening in your life right now that are upsetting you, figuring out why they're upsetting, and then learning new ways to deal with them. These are present-focused therapies to help you make changes right now, to feel better quickly, while also creating space to understand the reasons these issues are happening.
