Licensed Clinical Psychologist in Los Gatos, CA
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy to children, adolescents, and adults in the San Francisco Bay Area. My practice focuses on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can explore emotional challenges, develop coping strategies, and achieve personal growth. I specialize in working with individuals on the autism spectrum, offering comprehensive psychological assessments and tailored interventions. My approach integrates psychodynamic therapy, play therapy for children, and evidence-based practices to address depression, anxiety, social difficulties, and life transitions. With a doctorate from the California School of Professional Psychology and a background in community mental health and education, I have developed specialized programs for children with special needs and provided training to educators.

My commitment to ethical, client-centered care is reflected in my memberships with the American Psychological Association, California Psychological Association, and other professional organizations. I prioritize collaboration with families and professionals to ensure holistic support for clients. My practice has been serving the Los Gatos community since 2003, emphasizing confidentiality, empathy, and personalized treatment plans. I offer workshops for educators and community agencies to enhance understanding of psychological needs in children and adolescents. My goal is to empower clients to overcome challenges and reach their full potential through compassionate, expert care.
