Welcome!

I'm glad you're here. Finding the right therapist is no small task! I will do what I can to help support you in that process, beginning with telling you a bit about my work. I am passionate about working with women who have experienced trauma. I currently serve as a member of a trauma team (part-time) at Kaiser Permanente and also treat clients privately or through a platform called Headway (see link to check insurance and book an appointment below).

Treatment always depends on a client's specific needs but many clients I work with participate in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured trauma treatment that is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy. CPT helps clients identify ways in which trauma has impacted how they think about themselves and the world, and may be keeping them stuck in their trauma. I work with clients to help them identify how trauma might be impacting day to day life and begin to gain more control over emotions and behavior. This type of structured therapy is highly effective in decreasing trauma symptoms.

For clients who prefer a less structured approach I provide therapy that combines my training and interests in developmental psychology (how we grow and adapt throughout life), attachment theory, and Buddhist philosophy.
