With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field working with adults and older adults, I bring an evidence-based and structured approach to therapy. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s degree in Social Welfare from UC Berkeley and I am a certified Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) Provider. CBT-I is a highly researched, structured treatment for insomnia that helps you change unhelpful sleep habits and thoughts, restore healthy sleep patterns, and improve long-term rest. I also have advanced training in CBT for anxiety and depression, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Seeking Safety.

In addition to clinical work, I have spent four years as a manager in a healthcare setting, giving me a firsthand understanding of the stress and complexity faced by professionals in management and executive roles. I'm here to help you find solutions that will help improve your life and help you connect with your values. We can try out several different research backed therapies until we find what is most helpful for you.

Specializations:

• Managing Anxiety, Depression, Burnout, and Life Transitions

• Challenges with aging and caregiver stress.

• Sleep Difficulties and Insomnia

• Trauma Recovery & PTSD

• LGBTQ+ Affirmative Therapy

• Mental Health Support for People Living with HIV and Chronic Health Conditions
