Effective therapy can address our problems while helping us bring more meaning, self-awareness, and joy into our lives. I feel honored to get to do this work with my patients and aim to meet each person with warmth, compassion, and flexibility. In therapy, we work together to implement an individualized treatment plan that integrates evidence-based CBT strategies with awareness of each person's unique goals, values, and strengths. My patients and I focus on enhancing their understanding of their experience, figuring out what they need to live more fulfilling lives, and implementing practical tools to help them reach their goals. I aim to help each person I work with make deep and lasting changes and leave treatment with learning and a set of tools they can continue to use on their own. I see patients via telemedicine throughout the state of California as well as in person in San Diego, CA. I work with adults and specialize in: Insomnia and other sleep problems Adjusting to major life changes (parenthood, work changes, etc.) Trouble regulating emotions Depression Bipolar disorder Worry and rumination Frequent feelings of shame and guilt Difficulty taking action or making decisions OCD, or intrusive thoughts and behaviors that are difficult to control Feelings of overwhelming physical anxiety and panic Social anxiety Dissatisfaction and stress in relationships and/or the workplace TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS I received my PhD from the University of California, Berkeley in 2011.
