CALIFORNIA PSY34477
As a therapist, I recognize that your personal history, culture, relationships, and unique life experiences shape who you are. With warmth and curiosity, I strive to deeply understand these factors and tailor a treatment plan that is uniquely suited to your needs.
Clients often describe my approach as collaborative, insightful, and practical. I use thought-provoking questions to foster reflection and deeper self-awareness and provide effective evidence-based strategies to help you move past stuck points and work towards meaningful, lasting change.
I work with adults and specialize in treating:
Excessive worry and difficulties coping with uncertainty
Interpersonal struggles and relationship challenges
Perfectionism and the pressure to meet unrealistically high standards
Physical anxiety and panic attacks
Social anxiety and fear of judgment
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), including intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors
Emotional regulation, including difficulty managing strong and overwhelming feelings
Adjusting to major life transitions, such as parenthood, career changes, and other significant shifts
Depression and feelings of persistent sadness
Procrastination and challenges with motivation
TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS
I am a licensed psychologist (PSY34477) and Clinical Assistant Professor in the Anxiety and Depression Adult Psychological Treatment (ADAPT) Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. I earned my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Toronto Metropolitan University. I completed my clinical internship at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, followed by postdoctoral training at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, where I specialized in treating mood and anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and emotional regulation difficulties. I have authored 20 journal articles focused on the complex factors that contribute to anxiety symptoms and ways to enhance treatment outcomes. My research explores the role that significant others can play in the persistence of anxiety, offering valuable insights into how interpersonal dynamics influence mental health.
