You don’t have to keep forcing yourself to fit into a world that wasn’t built for your brain. If you’ve spent your life feeling “too much,” “not enough,” or wondering why things seem harder than they do for everyone else, you’re not alone. As a neurodivergent Clinical Psychologist (PhD) with eight years of clinical experience and specialized training in ADHD and autism—including a postdoctoral residency at Kaiser Permanente focused on autism assessment—I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work. I provide neurodivergent-affirming therapy for adolescents and adults navigating ADHD, autism, burnout, trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, life transitions, and identity-related concerns.

Therapist

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Berkeley, CA, and I’ve worked in mental health care since 2012. My background includes community-based work, trauma-informed care, and leadership in training and clinical development. I earned my MSW from NYU and specialize in treating anxiety, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I enjoy working with adults navigating changes - career shifts, identity questions, or simply trying to feel more at home in themselves. Clients often say they feel safe, understood, and more at ease after we talk. I believe therapy works best with a good sense of humor - even in hard sessions, there’s room for relief and laughter.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Corona, CA


My patients can expect me to be warm, empathetic, and genuinely interested in their story. I take time to understand not just current struggles, but also personal history and experiences that have shaped who they are. I believe that mental health is deeply connected to overall health, and treating psychiatric conditions can positively impact all areas of life. I work with all patients and conditions, and I always meet people where they are. If someone isn’t ready for medications, I fully support their choice and will be there to provide guidance, education, and care until the time feels right for them. Above all, I listen, I value each person’s perspective, and I aim to create a safe space where patients feel truly heard.
