How I work

Proven methods, shaped around you

I use approaches that research shows really help, like CBT and DBT, and I pay attention to both mind and body. We'll shape our time around what you need, whether you come on your own, with your family, or as a parent.

I meet in person in Carmel or by video anywhere in California. With your permission, I can also work with your psychiatrist, school, or other providers so everyone supporting you is on the same page.

Growing together

Small groups where you can connect, share, and learn alongside others who understand.

A Teen Group and a Women's Group are coming in 2027. I talk with everyone ahead of time to make sure the group is a good fit. Interested? Reach out to hear first when they open.

Not sure which fits? Let's talk it through.

A free 15-minute phone call is a no-obligation way to ask questions and see if we're a good fit.
