About Me

With over two decades of experience, I offer compassionate, client-centred psychotherapy. As a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I work with adolescents, adults, and couples. I support you in exploring your unique path. We will navigate life's complexities together, moving at your own pace. My approach is ideal for those seeking a seasoned professional. I prioritise your individual experience and offer a truly understanding environment.

Approach

Twenty years have taught me to let each person's pace set the rhythm of sessions, so we shape goals that feel manageable and real. Based in Oakland, I offer sessions in English with flexible online availability to fit work, family, or displacement challenges. In-session we track patterns, practice concrete coping skills, and try small relational experiments between meetings to support recovery, life transitions, or steady personal growth. This practical, collaborative pace tends to suit adults and couples seeking thoughtful, sustainable change.
