ABOUT ME

What would need to change in order for you to be living the life you want right now?

 

My goal is to help you answer to this question and begin the process of change.

 

I am a California licensed clinical psychologist, practicing therapy since 2005. I have a private practice located in the Cow Hollow neighborhood of San Francisco. I also work part-time in the Department of Psychiatry at Kaiser Permanente in Union City, California.

 

I work with adults, teens, children and their families.  My experience consists of working with clients on a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, impulse-control problems, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, as well as adjustment to difficult or changing life circumstances such as loss of loved one, relationship problems or separation/divorce, job loss, living with a chronic medical condition, post-partum depression, parenting, school-avoidance, school stress and social skills.

 

My philosophy is to form a collaborative and warm working relationship with my clients and families.  Therapy is typically focused on increasing healthy coping skills, identifying and developing strengths, symptom reduction and increasing awareness about unhealthy patterns. 

 

I offer both traditional in-office therapy sessions and/or walking therapy sessions called Walk & Talk therapy.  Please see the Walk & Talk page of my website to learn more about this innovative and dynamic approach to therapy.  The choice of traditional therapy or Walk and Talk therapy is totally up to you.  You're welcome to try both!
