About My Clients
If you're seeking a therapist, you likely feel something is "off" but unsure how to address it. Feeling exhausted, stuck, and dissatisfied, you may wonder, "What about me?" and realize “I matter too.” My clients find a safe space to explore emotions, prioritize themselves, rediscover their needs and reconnect to what matters. They aim to understand why they are stuck and find a path to a vibrant, joyful, and fulfilling life. Unsure if you need therapy? You don’t have to do this alone.
My Background and Approach
I served as the Licensed Attending Physician/Medical Director, Clinical and Research Coordinator and Psychologist at VA Palo Alto Health Care System. Throughout my career, I have gained invaluable leadership, clinical, and research experience across various VA healthcare systems, Stanford University School of Medicine, the National Center for PTSD, and both community-based and private practice settings. I believe it is important to provide a warm, collaborative, safe and non-judgmental environment that allows my clients the opportunity to express themselves and feel understood. I use a variety of well-researched, psychological approaches and treatments that can help clients address their concerns. I am committed to clients' goals on what they want to accomplish, and I work hard towards helping them build on their strengths and resiliency. I truly enjoy helping people to continue to grow and advance in life, while embracing the unique qualities that make them who they are.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Throughout my life, I've embraced values such as understanding, kindness, compassion, sincerity, gratitude, trust, respect, dependability, dedication, strength, resiliency, and hard work. These values guide every aspect of my work. As your therapist, I aim to earn your trust through compassion and understanding, treating you with kindness and respect, and showing gratitude for the opportunity to support you on your unique journey. I believe everyone has a special story to share and a distinct path to follow.
