I'm a bilingual and bicultural psychologist that helps clients with diagnostic clarification, therapeutic guidance, and provides executive functioning coaching for ADHD/Autism. I have a lot of experience with neurodivergence and common co-occurring disorders such as trauma, depression and anxiety. Creative approaches based on you as an individual, mixed with evidence based interventions, are used to create a treatment plan for your particular needs. This is my vocation and passion!

Treatment Approach
- Behavioral Therapy Uses learning techniques like reinforcement and practice to change unwanted behaviors. It is often applied to phobias, anxiety, and habits.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Existential / Humanistic Therapy Encourages people to explore meaning, freedom, and authenticity in their lives. It focuses on personal growth and living in alignment with one’s values.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
Approach Description: My approach is integrative and eclectic: I blend evidence-based methods like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with a foundational attachment-based lens because I believe that fostering secure relationships is key to lasting change. I borrow from Maslow, Rogers, and other schools of psychology, depending on your particular needs. I love getting to know the creative side of my clients because that is how I best create tailored interventions for them! Fine print: My style includes using dark humor, laughter, creativity, guidance, silliness, psychoeducation, transparency, unconditional acceptance, and support. However, I do challenge my clients in healthy ways. I'm not a "rent-a-friend" psychologist. I'm here to help you do the hard work of creating peace, joy, and balance in your life. Think of me as your "corner person," the one who provides the support and care you need to catch your breath and regroup before life calls you back into the ring for the next round.

I am a psychologist with over 7 years of experience dedicated to providing highly specialized and personalized therapy and assessment services exclusively to residents of California. However, I began seeing clients in 2001 as part of my first master's program in Spain and had my first psychology license in 2007. My BA was in clinical psychology and child development, so my passion for this field began very early. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating neurodivergence, particularly those with ADHD and/or ASD; and those dealing with co-occurring disorders, like when trauma, anxiety, or depression overlap with neurodevelopmental differences. I also help people who struggle with chronic pain as I do. I see clients ages 9 and over for telehealth therapy, and I also offer comprehensive Diagnostic and Developmental Testing for ADHD and/or ASD for ages 4 and up. Because I run a concierge-style practice, I prioritize an exceptional level of personalized care and hand-pick my clients. If you are ready to do the hard work of unlearning ineffectual ways of dealing with life and learn new ways to find joy and calm in your life, set up a free 15-minute consultation so we can determine if we are the right fit for a productive and cooperative partnership. Getting a therapist is like trying on shoes. You have to make sure they fit well and will be comfortable for walking long distances. You can't "Amazon Prime" therapy :)
