FAQs

1. What is your approach to working with patients?

I take a collaborative, structured, and individualized approach. We start with a thorough assessment so we’re treating the right problem and not just chasing symptoms. From there, we build a clear plan with practical next steps and measurable goals. My style is warm, direct, and focused on helping you function better in your real life—work, relationships, sleep, and daily routines.

2. What types of concerns do you specialize in treating?

I work with adults in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a focus on:

• Anxiety disorders (including panic and high-functioning anxiety)

• Depression and mood symptoms

• ADHD 

• Burnout, work stress, perfectionism, and executive functioning challenges

• Women’s mental health concerns and life transitions

• Sleep disruption related to stress/anxiety 

3. What do you believe is the most important part of the healing process?

Clarity and consistency. Clarity about what’s actually driving symptoms (biological, psychological, situational), and consistency with a plan long enough to see real change. Healing isn’t about perfection, but it’s about small, repeatable steps that compound over time.

4. What kinds of clients do you work with best?

I tend to work best with adults who want a thoughtful, evidence-based approach and are open to a combination of medication, when appropriate, plus practical strategies for change. Many of my patients are professionals balancing high demands, and women navigating anxiety, ADHD, burnout, mood symptoms, or transitions—who want care that is both compassionate and efficient.
