I love teaming up with teens, adults, couples, parents, and families to improve their overall mental wellness.

​

My specialties include anxiety, ADHD, addictions, depression, OCD, and trauma. I also focus on communication issues, work-related problems, and parenting.

​

When you come to see me, we will work together to understand your concerns and goals. From there, we will find a therapeutic approach that suits you and is tailored to your needs. Being client-centered and strengths-oriented, I use scientifically supported treatment to meet your goals.

​

Prior to counseling, I was in high tech marketing and worked for Fortune 100 companies as well as innovative start-ups in the Silicon Valley. This unique experience gives me insight into some of the issues that many of my clients have due to a high tech environment.

​

As a firm believer in community support, I spoke at libraries and community events. I volunteered as an editor for the Los Gatos Community Against Substance Abuse and a Meetup organizer to enhance couples' relationships. I also manage clinical consultations among fellow therapists to foster collegial development and growth.
