About Me.

I co-founded Mt. Diablo Psychological Services over a decade ago with the goal of providing high-quality, evidence-based psychotherapy to individuals and groups in our community. Today, I maintain a small, boutique practice shaped by nearly 20 years of experience in diverse clinical settings, including outpatient clinics, hospitals, and community mental health agencies.

 

My practice supports individuals across the lifespan, helping them navigate challenges, improve effectiveness, enhance relationships, clarify goals, and pursue meaningful growth. Grounded in compassion, practicality, and respect, my approach is guided by the belief that therapy offers both relief from distress and tools for lasting resilience and well-being.

 

As part of my commitment to exceptional care, I stay current with the latest psychological research to ensure clients benefit from the most effective interventions available.

 

I bring a thoughtful, collaborative presence to the therapeutic process and deeply value the trust clients place in me.
