I help people with psychosis, depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and related conditions using cognitive-behavioral therapy. My treatment combines evidence-based therapy tailored to your specific problems with a compassionate, individualized approach.

When someone you love is struggling with serious mental illness, the fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty can be as overwhelming as the illness itself. I work with families as active participants in recovery, not just bystanders to a loved one's care.
Through CBT-Informed Caring for Families, I teach practical, evidence-based skills for understanding what your family member is experiencing, communicating during difficult moments, and taking care of yourself along the way.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBTp)
CBTp is a specialized, evidence-based treatment for people experiencing psychosis — including hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking associated with schizophrenia and related conditions. I work collaboratively with the person to reduce distress and support meaningful recovery, even in longstanding or treatment-resistant cases.
I am one of a small number of Bay Area practitioners trained to this level of specialization.
Currently, I am providing therapy both in person and by video using a professional HIPAA compliant version of Zoom. If you're ready to schedule an appointment with me, visit this page:

My Approach to CBT
I am a Beck Institute trained cognitive behavioral therapist credentialed as a Beck Institute CBT Certified Master Clinician. My approach is guided by the following principles:
Collaborative: CBT is a collaborative, problem solving therapy that emphasizes practical solutions and taking steps toward important life goals.
Individualized: Therapy is tailored to you — your specific problems, goals, and circumstances — rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Problem and Goal Focused: We identify clear, measurable goals from the start so you always know what we're working toward — and can see when it's working.
Recovery-Oriented: Getting better isn't just about reducing symptoms — it's about returning to the life you want. We keep that bigger picture in view throughout. This means returning to meaningful activities in your life even if you are feeling quite ill (depressed, anxious, or confused).
Effective and Evidence-based: The techniques I use are drawn from randomized controlled trials: I don't base my practice on current clinical fashions. As a Beck Institute faculty member, I stay current with what the research actually shows.
