Providing Services In Person And On-line

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (CA license PSY26908) with nearly 20 years of experience providing psychological services to adult and adolescents. I offer evidence-based psychotherapy to clients in the Bay Area and Silicon Valley, including Los Gatos, Campbell, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Menlo Park, Los Altos, Cupertino, Saratoga, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Gilroy, Redwood City, Belmont, Foster City, San Mateo, San Francisco, and the East Bay. Video conferencing therapy is also available.

About Me

I completed my doctoral training through a consortium program affiliated with William & Mary, Eastern Virginia Medical School, Norfolk State University, and Old Dominion University. I went on to complete my internship and postdoctoral fellowship at the Durham VA Medical Center, where I specialized in treating combat veterans and survivors of sexual assault. During this time, I trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) under some of the nation's leading experts in trauma treatment.

At the VA, I also received training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), CBT for Insomnia (CBT-i), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I continue to work part-time at the VA and have maintained a private practice since 2018.

My private practice work has focused on treating a range of anxiety- and depression-related concerns, while also supporting people who may not be experiencing significant symptoms but want to better understand themselves, improve their functioning, or make meaningful changes in their lives. This work provides clients with an opportunity to gain insight into patterns that may be holding them back, develop new skills, and cultivate greater confidence and life-fulfillment.

Education and Training

Outside of work, I am a dedicated mother and step-mother to four amazing teens. I spend a lot of time on the sidelines — cheering on AAU basketball, youth softball, and Little League games. We travel anytime there is a break in kids activities and school commitments and I like to think I have become a bit of an expert on traveling with a blended family. On the rare occasion where my husband and I find ourselves with a free weekend, you will find us hiking the bay area trails with our dog, Remi, or enjoying a sunset on the beach.
