Licensed Psychologist, PSY28481

 

Individual psychotherapy and clinical assessment for children, adolescents, & adults.

About

Hello and welcome. I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing individual therapy and clinical assessment to children, adolescents, and adults in my office in Orinda, CA or via telehealth.

I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I completed my pre and post doctoral training at the Ann Martin Center delivering long-term treatment, interventions and assessment for children, adolescents and families in both community mental health and school-based settings.

 
Approach
 

Therapy offers a meaningful opportunity for growth, healing and change. My aim is to provide support to help manage overwhelming emotions, navigate challenging situations, and address barriers standing in the way of contentment and clarity.

Through an integrative framework rooted in psychodynamic theory, my approach is compassionate, warm, honest, curious, and respectful. I believe that healing and transformation are most accessible when individuals feel understood and authentically connected. I work to cultivate a safe space for you to bring your personal challenges and strengths. This will help us develop a therapeutic relationship that will foster openness, honesty, genuine self-discovery, and healing.
