Beck Institute-certified CBT — scientifically rigorous, deeply human
Specialized CBT for Psychosis, Serious Mental Illness, and Complex Presentations
A brief no cost 10-15 minute telehealth consultation will help determine if I am the right person to help you.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Psychosis (CBT-p)
CBT-p 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.
I'm Seeking Help for Myself
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.
I'm Seeking Help as a Family Member
When someone you love is struggling with serious mental illness, the fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty can be just as overwhelming as the illness itself.
I work with families as active participants in recovery — not just bystanders to a loved one's care.
CBT-Informed Caring for Families
I offer a structured family skills program — CBT-Informed Caring for Families — that teaches practical, evidence-based communication and coping strategies to family members of people living with serious mental illness. Learn more about CBT-Informed Caring for Families.
Using evidence-based CBT principles, I can help you understand what your family member is experiencing, communicate more effectively during difficult moments, and find a sustainable path forward together.

My Approach to CBT
I am a Beck Institute trained cognitive 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, not current clinical fashions. As a Beck Institute faculty member, I stay current with what the research actually shows.
