My conviction is that all psychological well-being is also spiritual well-being. My approach is existential-humanistic, client-centered, and transpersonal. I specialize in helping people in transition, coping with change, undergoing a grieving process, or finding themselves in overwhelming or stressful situations. In my recent research, I gathered evidence for a new method for stress management.
I have helped people undo the patterns that had kept them stuck and find a deeper connection with themselves and with the people around them. I have worked with people who lost their home, who lost their spouse, or who were at the end of their life. Prior to joining the Community Center for Health and Wellness in Palo Alto, I worked with incarcerated youth at the California Department of Corrections.
I would like to add that I am no stranger to the fast life of Silicon Valley. Before becoming a psychologist I underwent my own transition from my previous career, in which I was an information technology professional and consulted with several high tech companies. In addition to a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, I also holds a M.S. in Computer Science.
