I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with a passion for providing comprehensive psychological assessment and evidence-based intervention for children, adolescents and their families. I have extensive experience working with youth with a wide range of issues, including ADHD, learning differences, anxiety and mood disorders, and developmental disabilities. I take a collaborative and therapeutic approach to assessment, with a focus on highlighting a youth’s strengths and clarifying areas of need. I also aim to provide individualized recommendations along with concrete and actionable steps to maximize a youth’s potential. Additionally, I have experience consulting with school staff and assisting families in advocating for youth to ensure their individual needs are met within an academic setting.
I began my early career as a paraprofessional supporting families of children with developmental delays. I went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Berkeley and doctorate in clinical psychology from the PGSP-Stanford PsyD Consortium. I’ve trained and worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient and intensive outpatient clinics, schools, and hospitals.
Outside of my professional life, I enjoy hiking, fishing, and cooking.
