BOARD CERTIFIED: No

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE:
Number of years treating patients with eating disorders: 5-8

EDUCATION, TRAINING, and EXPERTISE:

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and eating disorders specialist. Before starting my practice, I was an Assistant Clinical Professor at the University of California, San Francisco. At UCSF, I worked with patients and families in eating disorder treatment (outpatient and inpatient), contributed to research, and provided teaching and supervision to future clinicians. I am certified in family-based treatment (FBT) by the Training Institute for Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders. My expertise is in tailoring therapy to meet your unique needs and strengths. I lead with curiosity, compassion, and warmth.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY:

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families through challenges and times of growth. My approach is caring and active, balancing acceptance and change. I specialize in evidence-based treatments for eating, mood and anxiety disorders, including: cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), family-based treatment (FBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). My therapeutic style is informed by dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and integrates skills for emotion regulation.
