Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Mountain View, CA

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, relationship issues, substance abuse/addiction, and trauma.

My communication style is calm, accommodating, and reassuring. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking with me about anything, and I pride myself on my ability to listen without judgment.

I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help people. Whether it was as an epidemiologist working with the physically ill, mentoring high school students in relational and life decisions, or being a loyal friend, I have always naturally been drawn to helping people through difficult times. Now, as a therapist, I get to enjoy seeing people realize their full potential, heal from their pain, and identify and begin working toward a new future of hope for themselves.

I offer a warm, inquisitive, and direct approach for couples and individuals ready for meaningful change. Whether you’re navigating a major life transition, preparing for a baby, adjusting to life with young children, or adapting to the ever-changing demands of life, our work together can help you move through this season with greater ease, clarity, and connection.

Becoming a parent was one of the most meaningful and challenging experiences of my own life. It gave me a deep appreciation for the extraordinary demands that parenthood can place on individuals and couples. I have a special place in my heart for partners and individuals navigating the many stages of family building—from preparing for a baby to adjusting to life with young children and beyond.

At the same time, I work with folx dealing with life's many challenges, and I will meet you wherever you are. Together, we’ll create space to better understand what’s happening, strengthen your relationships, and move toward the changes you’re hoping to make.

I am currently a licensed psychologist in California, having previously worked as a psychotherapist under supervision for over 14 years. As an independent practitioner, I am accepting new clients, both in person and by remote means.

I seem to work especially well with younger and middle-aged people who are creatively inclined and having difficulty with self-realization and/or interpersonal relationships, from important relationships to everyday interactions with others. In the past, I have worked in community-based and private addiction recovery settings across a wide demographic. I specialize in trauma informed treatment that includes PTSD, depression, anxiety and phobias.
