About Me

I support individuals and couples navigating a variety of concerns, including stress, trauma, anxiety, interpersonal distress, identity exploration, and struggles with social injustice.

Culturally attuned psychotherapy is the cornerstone of my practice. I firmly believe that understanding the cultural, social, and generational contexts of clients is essential for creating safety within the therapeutic relationship. I integrate the current evidence based practices to provide a personalized experience.

My Approach

I provide relational, compassionate, and flexible individual and couples therapy at Stanford University School of Medicine and my private practice. My hope is to create an empowering space that allows for reflection, insights, and a new path forward.

My
Story

I am a licensed clinical psychologist in California (PSY33732) and a Clinical Assistant Professor in the department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine where I work in the PTSD Clinic, DBT Clinic, Female Sexual Pain Clinic, and Couples and Family Clinic.

I have developed clinical expertises in working with people with a variety of challenges, including trauma recovery, anxiety, interpersonal distress, identity issues, and experiences of discrimination and oppression. I use evidence-based practices focused on client’s resilience, values, and goals. My approach integrates behavioral, mindfulness, and systems practices to meet the client’s tailored needs.
