celebrating Neurodiversity
Welcome! I'm glad you're here. I'm a licensed clinical psychologist based in Burlingame, CA dedicated to helping people thrive in all aspects of life. My work is enriched by more than two decades of experience, both as a psychologist and as a mom, as well as a special passion for helping neurodiverse children, adults, and families. Common themes I treat include anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, anger & behavior management, high functioning autism, giftedness, 2E (twice exceptionality), learning differences, ADHD, OCD, PTSD, and Complex PTSD.
If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
