Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Pleasanton, CA

My passion is to help others find more joy and meaning in their lives. I work creatively and collaboratively with adults, teens, and children to explore the heart of the matter. I have experience working in the schools, with a team at a counseling clinic, and in private practice. I specialize with teenagers and their families and moving into couples work as well.

I have close to two decades of experience treating adults, children, and families in the Bay Area. My focus is on providing integrative psychotherapy (IP). IP is an approach that is generally flexible with an inclusive attitude toward the different psychotherapeutic models depending on the client's needs.

Anxiety and perfectionism have turned your mind into a battleground. Your inner critic nitpicks every interaction, leaving you exhausted by thoughts of “Damnit, why can’t I just be better!” Painful memories get louder, no matter how hard you try to ignore them. Daily invalidations of your Latina, queer, or immigrant identity sting, and you feel isolated as you keep your suffering to yourself. You’ve tried everything: doom scrolling, drinking, and self-help books, but nothing has worked. You're left feeling hopeless and weighed down.

I am a LMFT who regularly supports adults and teens. I specialize in relationship issues, anxiety, depression, identity, self-esteem, stress management, and life transitions.

I earned my M.S. in Psychology at Cal Poly SLO and earned my B.A. in Psychology at UCSB. I have worked in a variety of settings including private practice, community mental health, and school-based programs. I am dedicated to learning about and utilizing the latest research and interventions to best support her clients.
