My current specialty is serving teens and college students who are smart, take challenging classes, and get good grades but want to enjoy more confidence, happiness, and healthy friendships.

I tend to work best therapeutically with people who are struggling with forms of anxiety (such as generalized anxiety, social anxiety, specific phobias), stress, trauma, or depression.

Since I'm licensed as a psychologist in California, I can only be a therapist for people who are current residents living in California.

Please note that we might not be a good fit if:

• you're not a teen or college student
• you are struggling with ADHD, OCD, autism, substance use, or an eating disorder
• your parents are divorced and not on the same page about you being in therapy
• you're not open to trying therapy or ready to grow

Unlike therapists who are generalists, I have highly specialized training in serving youth.

That means we'll have comfortable conversations that help you process your emotions, thoughts, decisions, and relationships. It also means I'll integrate powerful evidence-based tools if they're a good fit for your needs and goals.

If you really want the more jargony (!?) clinical explanation: my expertise is clinical child/adolescent psychology, and my therapeutic approach blends cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy. For example, I believe in the power of exposure therapy in helping people overcome anxiety.

My current fee is $200 per session, payable online by credit card.

I am not able to bill insurance directly, but I can provide you with a "superbill" at the end of each month, like a receipt for services you've paid for. If your insurance includes mental health coverage, you can then send them the superbill for partial reimbursement of those costs.
