I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Santa Barbara, California. My practice blends both psychological approach as well as eastern wisdom. With a diverse background of professional and life experiences, I bring empathy, warmth, and a solution-focused mindset to my clients. My goal is to help clients alleviate suffering, boost their productivitiy, and enhance well-being.
Weather you have been considering therapy, worked with therapy in the past or loved ones are suggesting reaching out-welcome to my practice. I work with individuals, couples and families in the assessment and treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career issues, job dissatisfaction. My specialty areas included the assessment and treatment of Perinatal and Postpartum Depression/Anxiety and Grief and Loss.
I was always drawn to people who went unseen or unheard. Others told me I had a calm voice and that they could tell me anything. That led to a lifelong study of how people free themselves from their own patterns, later deepened by psychoanalysis and professional work in eating disorders, addiction treatment, and managed care settings like Kaiser.
I work in a collaborative process with older teens (15yrs old and above), couples, and individual adults who are motivated to find their inner voice and know their highest selves. My clients are focused on setting boundaries, assertive and effective communication skills, healthy relationships, self-advocacy, and self-efficacy. My clients are willing to reflect on sessions outside of the therapeutic hour, and are receptive to occasional homework. I am here to meet you halfway.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Palo Alto, CA
Searching for therapists in Palo Alto starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit that need. People often look for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, work stress, grief, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.
Palo Alto has local therapists across areas like Downtown, Midtown, and Professorville, but nearby availability may vary by schedule, office location, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options across California while still letting you work with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. When narrowing your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointments that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and what to expect from the first visit.
Therapy in Palo Alto can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you find Palo Alto therapists who match your preferences and are accepting new patients. You can enter your insurance details to confirm whether a specific therapist takes your plan. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
