learn moreOur approach combines evidence-based therapies all framed by a strengths-based and trauma-informed perspective that focuses on your growth and the goals you hope to accomplish.
CBT is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps individuals identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve emotional well-being.
ACT emphasizes psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings rather than avoiding or fighting them. ACT's focus is to help people live meaningful lives aligned with their values.
DBT teaches skills to manage intense emotions, reduce conflict and self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. It combines mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to promote acceptance and change.
SFT is a short-term, goal-oriented approach that focuses on strengths and finding practical steps toward positive change. It helps individuals build solutions based in what is already working.
Our team of experienced therapists is dedicated to working with young people in an authentic, approachable way that is tailored to their unique needs.
License number: 93160
I am a board-certified Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping young people know their worth and increase their confidence. I have a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California and am licensed to practice therapy in California.
My therapy approach is client-centered and strengths-based. I have always been passionate about working with teens and helping them discover their identities as they prepare for the world of adulthood. I enjoy working with many challenges teens face, but I particularly enjoy working with challenges in partner relationships, communication issues, boundary-setting needs, trauma, those in the LGTBQIA+ community, and life transitions.
I like to refer to myself as quirky - someone who can laugh at themselves and someone who loves puns and dad jokes. If I can help teens develop coping, self-soothing, and communication skills that I hadn't quite honed when I was young, they will feel more prepared for their next phase of life. Doing therapy with me is like chatting with a cool aunt: I'll hold space for you to process, vent, celebrate wins, and reflect, but I'll also give you “real talk” and challenge you to step outside your comfort zone.
When I'm not at work, I hang out with my husband and dog, play volleyball with my rec league, watch the 49ers and Sharks, dress up for a Renaissance Faire, catch a Broadway show, watch SVU or Netflix dating shows, listen to all types of music (mostly emo or Broadway), and find fun local places to eat. If I sound like I may be a good fit for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
License number: 126512
I am a board-certified, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist specializing in working with teenagers and young adults. I have a Master’s in Counseling from Palo Alto University and am licensed to practice therapy in California.
I love helping teens and young adults through issues including anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, suicidal thoughts, and self-harm issues. I also enjoy having parents participate in services through check-ins. This partnership can facilitate progress toward my client's goals. While I lean towards evidence-based therapy and am scientifically minded, I keep my communication style with clients informal and use humor when appropriate.
I believe the client is the expert on their own experiences and that how we think about things can affect feelings and behaviors. Through therapy, I aim to help my clients increase awareness of their thoughts and feelings and find new ways to solve problems. I enjoy learning about my clients' hobbies, interests, and strengths. Getting to know a person as a whole, not just their problems, is essential. This is a critical component in therapy, especially for teens.
In my free time, I love spending time with my husband, young daughter, and pets. I love taking long family walks, playing video games with friends, and watching horror movies. If I sound like an excellent fit for your teen or young person, please get in touch!
