Evidence-Based Therapy Creating Safe Spaces for Healing and Growth
We all feel lost from time to time. Whether your stress is tied to work, family dynamics, or your personal history, engaging in therapy is a deeply rewarding and transformative journey. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 25 years of clinical experience, my work focuses entirely on individual therapy for adults from all walks of life. I specialize in helping clients navigate life transitions, manage stress, heal from underlying challenges, process trauma, and identify a core value system that can anchor them during difficult times. Grounded in a humanistic and experiential approach, I prioritize building a strong, collaborative therapeutic relationship. This connection is the absolute foundation for meaningful change.
To support your unique journey, I draw from powerful, proven frameworks tailored directly to your needs. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you break free from unhelpful thought patterns and actively manage overwhelming life stressors, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to foster greater psychological flexibility and clarify your core values. Together, these modalities are exceptionally effective for navigating anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflict, and deeply ingrained behavioral patterns so you can move forward with purpose.
My clinical background includes five years serving as a Site Director and Clinical Supervisor for the Palo Alto Unified School District's mental health program. This leadership role gave me deep insight into the systemic stress and complex family dynamics that often carry over into our adult lives. I bring a culturally sensitive and inclusive perspective to every session, and I am deeply passionate about providing a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathic space. Together, we will work to process your challenges, help you thrive, and reconnect with the best version of yourself.

A Collaborative Space for Healing & Personal Growth
I believe that therapy is a collaborative journey. Drawing on over two decades of clinical experience, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your challenges and identify a clear path forward.
I specialize in individual therapy for adults, utilizing a holistic framework that meets you exactly where you are. I integrate the practical, skill-building tools of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the mindfulness and values-driven focus of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). This means we will look at your underlying belief system and thought patterns that are holding you back, while also practicing how to accept difficult emotions without letting them dictate your choices. Rather than fighting difficult emotions, we will focus on mindfulness and acceptance, allowing you to commit to actions that align with your deepest values.
At the core of my practice is a humanistic and experiential philosophy. I view you as a whole person with the innate capacity for healing. Together, we will focus on the totality of your experiences, build your resilience, and help you find the clarity to live your most authentic life.
