About
People often think therapy is a place to vent; it definitely CAN be that - validation is important. Therapy is also a place where you are challenged to see things differently, face your fears and take steps toward creating the life you deserve. It can be scary, which is why having a therapist is so helpful. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I will point out the barriers in your way (even the ones you might be accidentally putting there yourself), so you can overcome them. Therapy can be long-term, but it doesn't have to be. Part of my job is to help you become your own therapist, so you don't need me as much (or at all!) I got my PhD in clinical psychology at Palo Alto University with an emphasis in neuroscience and women’s health in collaboration with Stanford University School of Medicine. I also trained at Sharp Mesa Vista, where I used CBT and DBT interventions to address self-harm, suicidal ideation, and intense anger.
