As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability in life. Asking for help can be one of the toughest challenges, so congratulations on taking that first step! I’ve been practicing for 10 years, and my main focus are adult clients who are struggling with PTSD, anxiety and depression.

I approach therapy with the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to help you explore the thoughts, feelings, and patterns that may be keeping you stuck or contributing to stress, while creating a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered.

I bring an open mind and genuine curiosity to our work together, allowing us to better understand your experiences without judgment. While exploring the past and planning for the future can be important parts of therapy, I also believe that cultivating mindfulness and staying connected to the present moment are essential for promoting overall well-being.

My hope is that you leave therapy with a stronger sense of confidence, identity, and self, along with practical tools to navigate life's challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

I’m a clinical psychologist (doctor) in Ventura county, California, with over 25 years of experience and a practice designed to feel calm, human, and welcoming. Many of the patients I work with come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, depressed, or stuck. They may be navigating trauma, grief, relationship pain, major life transitions, or the quiet weight of having tried to manage too much for too long. My work is for people who are ready for something deeper than just getting through the day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, focused on real life, not just symptoms.

With 30 years of experience as a therapist, I earned my Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Stanford University, specializing in school and community-based counseling.

My practice is built on a compassionate approach, crafting personalized, evidence-based therapy to help you thrive. I also bring a unique perspective from my work as a university professor and international consultant, promoting mental health equity and inclusivity worldwide.
