Direct, warm and structured.

I'm a licensed psychologist in California. I work one to one with adults who have ADHD or think they might. Many are capable, busy people who have spent years working twice as hard to look like they are keeping up.

My approach is direct and collaborative. I use cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy, and I explain each tool before we try it. I would rather tell you why I'm asking a question than leave you guessing.

Before private practice I worked in community mental health. That is where I learned that good therapy should be practical, plain-spoken and worth the time it takes.

    I see adults one to one, in San Francisco and by video for clients who are in California. I do not do evaluations, and I do not prescribe medication.

What I believe.

  • 01

    Therapy should be practical

    You should leave each session with something concrete: an insight, a tool, a plan for the week. Not just a question about how it made you feel.

  • 02

    You are the expert on your life

    I bring clinical training. You bring self-knowledge. Together we work out what is going on and what to try.

  • 03

    Different is not defective

    Your attention works in its own way. We start from what helps you, and we do not ask you to become someone with a different brain.

Let's talk.
