Individual psychotherapy
One-on-one care, tailored to you
Therapy is a space to understand what’s happening, learn tools that work, and reconnect with who you are underneath the struggle. Sessions are held by secure video, and every plan is tailored to your goals.
Depression
Low mood, numbness, exhaustion, excessive guilt and loss of interest. We use approaches like CBT and ACT to restore energy, meaning and connection.
Anxiety
Worry, panic, irritability and trouble sleeping. CBT, ACT and CBT-I offer practical skills that help your mind and body settle.
Trauma
For trauma that happened in childhood, during your adult life, or during active duty service, including combat trauma and military sexual trauma (MST). Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) and Prolonged Exposure (PE) are among the most effective PTSD treatments available.
Addiction
Alcohol and substance use, met without judgment. Motivational Interviewing, MET and DBT skills help you build the change you want, at your pace.
Psychological evaluations (testing)
Clear answers to guide what comes next
A comprehensive psychological evaluation, sometimes called psychological testing or assessment, uses standardized, validated measures to answer specific questions: clarifying a diagnosis, understanding how trauma, mood or substance use are affecting you and your abilities today, and pointing treatment or school supports in the right direction.
Evaluations are offered in person at my office in San Mateo, for adolescents ages 14 and up and adults.
What an evaluation can include
- Cognitive testing (such as IQ testing)
- Objective personality measures
- Projective personality measures
- Mood, attention, trauma and substance use screeners
What you’ll receive
- A feedback session to walk through it all together
- A clear written report of the findings
- Recommendations for treatment
- School recommendations for adolescents and students, when relevant
Clinical interview
We talk through your history and the questions you want answered. By telehealth or in person.
Testing day
Several hours of in-person testing, with breaks. Prefer one visit? The interview and testing can be combined into a single day.

Approximately two weeks later, we review your results and recommendations together, by telehealth or in person.
