About Me
I provide a collaborative space to examine what is happening now, including anxiety, relationship patterns, self-criticism, or the effects of difficult early experiences. For some people, understanding context can support meaningful change; for others, practical strategies are the most immediate priority.
I draw from psychodynamic, attachment-focused, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-informed approaches. Together, we can identify goals, consider what may be maintaining a pattern, and revisit the plan as your needs and circumstances change.
Pathway Clinical Group
You may be carrying persistent worry, self-criticism, relationship strain, or a sense that familiar patterns keep repeating. You may know exactly what feels difficult, or you may simply know that something needs more careful attention.
Current concerns can have many influences, including relationships, work, health, stress, culture, and earlier experiences. Therapy can provide a collaborative setting to clarify what matters to you, consider relevant context, and decide on practical next steps without assuming one explanation or outcome.

FAQ
Common Questions
Click or tap a question to reveal more details.
I had a stable home growing up. Can emotional neglect still apply to me?
Yes. Emotional neglect isn't about whether your basic needs were met. It's about whether your emotional needs were seen and responded to. Plenty of clients tell me, "I had everything I needed, so I don't know if this counts" — and it usually does.
How is this different from therapy I've tried before?
A lot of therapy focuses on managing today's symptoms. I spend real time connecting those symptoms to where they started, so the changes hold instead of needing constant maintenance.
Do you take insurance?
[TBD — Insert once insurance credentialing is confirmed. Placeholder: I'm currently completing insurance credentialing and will list in-network plans here once active. I see private-pay clients now and provide a superbill for possible out-of-network reimbursement — visit the Insurance & Fees page for details, or ask during your free consultation.]
What services does Pathway Clinical Group offer?

Is therapy available throughout California?
Yes. Virtual therapy sessions are available to adults anywhere in California via secure telehealth. In-person sessions and assessments are conducted in San Diego.
What is involved in an adult ADHD or autism assessment?
Assessments consider developmental history, current functioning, standardized measures, and a clinical interview. The evaluation also examines overlapping conditions like anxiety or trauma that may account for some experiences.
How does trauma therapy work at this practice?
Therapy focuses on understanding how childhood experiences — including emotional neglect and growing up with a parent's mental illness — created patterns that still affect your relationships, anxiety, and sense of self today.
