Biography
As a licensed Clinical Psychologist in San Francisco, CA, I offer individual psychotherapy to adults struggling with stress management, anxiety, and physical health conditions exacerbated by stress.
My integrative, client-centered approach is rooted in interventions that have been empirically validated and include cognitive behavior therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, acceptance and commitment therapy, motivational interviewing, and internal family systems frameworks.
Despite being a scientist, my approach is not sterile! I balance my use of evidence-based methods with empathy and compassion. I aim to cultivate an atmosphere of caring curiosity with the goal of increasing self-awareness, enhancing self-compassion, and establishing more effective strategies for coping with life’s challenges.
I have three main areas of specialization:
Women in High-Demand Fields:
Helping high-achieving women struggling with anxiety and perfectionism increase their self-confidence and live fuller, more meaningful lives.
Chronic Health Issues:
Helping individuals with chronic health conditions learn skills to reduce the impact of stress on their physical health.
Stressful Life Transitions:
Helping individuals manage stress and anxiety while undergoing life transitions.
