“I am a clinical psychologist with 11 years experience treating adults from a holistic and psychodynamic perspective.”
About Me
I am a clinical psychologist with 11 years of experience, guiding adults to explore their inner world. My holistic and psychodynamic approach invites you to understand how past experiences shape your present. We can collaboratively uncover deeper patterns, fostering lasting change. This style suits those seeking profound self-discovery and a comprehensive path to emotional well-being.
Approach
Work unfolds through attentive exploration of how earlier relationships shape current patterns, pairing reflective curiosity with practical, paced interventions. In my Oakland office or via English-language telehealth, sessions feel steady and focused—leaning into emotion while tracking behaviour and themes between meetings when useful. I use assessment findings to tailor the work—sometimes longer reflective talk, sometimes skill-focused experiments—to gently challenge entrenched responses and deepen self-understanding. People facing trauma, relationship struggles, or major life transitions often find this blend grounding and clarifying.
