I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT), with a video therapy practice in the Los Altos, California. I am also licensed to work with people who live in Idaho and Ohio. I have over a decade of experience helping people help themselves through disordered eating/body image struggles, anxiety, and depression. Having grown up in the Silicon Valley, I understand the unique pressures that come along with living here, and love helping people break free from the chains of anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. I am passionate about helping people create change in their lives.
I have extensive training in an advanced form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy called TEAM-CBT, based on the work of Dr. David Burns. I also incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Intuitive Eating, Self-Compassion, and more. I have experience working in Eating Disorder treatment centers, Partial Hospitalization/Intensive Outpatient (PHP/IOP) clinics, schools, and community mental health clinics.
I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco (2012) and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Sociology & Psychology from San Diego State University (2004).
I am a member of the following organizations:
CAMFT (California Association of Marriage & Family Therapists)
