I’m a clinical psychologist (doctor) in Ventura county, California, with over 25 years of experience and a practice designed to feel calm, human, and welcoming. Many of the patients I work with come to therapy feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, depressed, or stuck. They may be navigating trauma, grief, relationship pain, major life transitions, or the quiet weight of having tried to manage too much for too long. My work is for people who are ready for something deeper than just getting through the day. My approach is warm, grounded, and deeply human, focused on real life, not just symptoms.
For over 20 years, I've specialized in Palliative & Hospice care, supporting adults as they navigate cancer, chronic illness, grief, challenging family dynamics & end-of-life concerns.

When you or someone you love is facing cancer or another serious condition, everything can feel uncertain. Together we can create space for the parts of you that feel overwhelmed or scared, and the ones trying to stay strong. You don’t have to carry this alone.
I understand the challenges of navigating the healthcare system and the importance of advocating for yourself or a loved one impacted by illness.

I also work with healthcare professionals—doctors, nurses, and social workers—who give so much of themselves and sometimes need space to process and recharge.
Throughout my career, I've worked collaboratively on interdisciplinary teams, focusing specifically on the psychosocial needs of individuals impacted by medical challenges and the family members caring for them.
