Therapy is a powerful tool to help you work through challenges, build resilience, and find new ways to improve your quality of life. Together, we can develop a plan tailored to your needs and goals at a pace that feels right for you.

Welcome to the journey of taking good care of yourself! In the initial few sessions, you will discuss your concerns and goals with your therapist. Your therapist will support you in examining and developing a deeper understanding of the goals that initially brought you into therapy and you will collaboratively develop a treatment plan to address your needs. Your therapist will walk with you every step of the way and help you in your investment of self-growth.
Hi, I’m a clinical psychologist licensed in the states of California and Iowa. I have specialized experience working with culturally diverse adults struggling with PTSD, anxiety, depression, shame, and relationship difficulties. Moreover, I have a subspecialty treating mental health symptoms influenced by women specific issues, such as postpartum depression, menopause, gender role challenges, and body image concerns. I also help couples who want to develop deeper intimacy, increase emotional safety, and communicate more effectively with one another. Overall, my passion lies in helping people 1) address shame by cultivating self-compassion, 2) develop healthy relationship boundaries, and 3) live a values-based lifestyle. In all my work, I prioritize creating a space of radical acceptance and safety for individuals to examine their lives honestly and accurately. I am confident that radically genuine living is a life worth living, and I strive to help patients develop an inner haven through which they can live unapologetically as their true selves.

Even considering therapy is courageous, and half the battle! Thank you for being here and for trying to find ways to support yourself. If you have an hesitations or anxieties around therapy, please let me know. I want you to know that therapy is a relationship and a two-way street, and I will do everything I can to help you feel in control throughout this process. Some accommodations I offer are a free 15 minute consultation call, which can be done by phone or on video, as well as a "ramp up" to hour-long therapy sessions by starting with shorter, 30 minute sessions. If there is anything I can do to help ease your anxiety or make this process smoother for you, please let me know! I cannot help you if I don't know what you need, so all I ask is you be communicative with me (in whatever form that feels comfortable to you - verbal, email, text, voice memo, etc.)!
You’ve tried everything you can, and still… You struggle to manage your emotions, and you don’t understand why your mood seems to go from 0 to 100 at the drop of a hat. Because you feel so deeply, things that seem harmless to other people cause you immense pain, panic, and distress. You feel hopeless about the future and sometimes hurt yourself in the process of trying to manage it all. You are in the right place. At Spring Day Therapy, I work with teens & young adults to provide compassionate, collaborative (and oftentimes playful!) evidence-based treatment.
