About Me
My Approach
I believe therapy is about more than symptom relief—it’s about developing self-awareness, emotional flexibility, and a stronger connection to yourself. Many of us operate within patterns that once made sense but now keep us stuck. Therapy provides space to explore these patterns with curiosity, creating clarity and lasting change.
My approach is grounded in therapies that help shift unhelpful patterns—not just in how we think, but in how we respond to emotions and challenges. This work isn’t about avoiding discomfort but about building the skills to navigate it with confidence and resilience.
Some people benefit from structured strategies and concrete tools, while others need space for reflection and deeper exploration—most need a mix of both. We’ll work together to find the approach that best supports your needs and goals.
Therapeutic Approaches I Use
I integrate a range of proven, evidence-based therapies tailored to your needs, including:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Mindfulness-Based Techniques & Mind-Body Approaches
Therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to you—whether navigating challenges, processing the past, or exploring new possibilities. Whether you seek insight, skills, or space to process, we’ll find an approach that fosters both reflection and progress.
Professional Experience
With a decade of clinical experience, I work with people navigating trauma, anxiety, stress, identity, relationships, and major life transitions. My training and work at Stanford, the VA Medical System, and in private practice have shaped my approach—balancing depth and scientific expertise with flexibility, warmth, and curiosity.
For four years, I led the Trauma, Transformation, and Resilience Program at the Center for Compassion Focused Therapy, working with individuals facing some of life’s most difficult experiences. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start.
