My Philosophy:

I believe mental and physical health are deeply interconnected.

Drawing from both integrative and functional medicine perspectives, my work focuses on understanding the root causes of dis-ease rather than simply managing symptoms or talking about the problem.

The presentation of anxiety and depression is not only linked to lived experiences, emotions, and behaviors, but may also be linked or driven by physical factors such as chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, hormone dysregulation, gut–brain disruption, or prolonged stress.

My training includes clinical mental health counseling, nutrition science and nutritional psychology, integrative health, holistic medicine, neurofeedback, and EMDR. I also incorporate mindfulness-based practices, music-informed therapeutic approaches, and executive coaching frameworks where appropriate. I am also a Hoffman Process graduate.

My philosophy is scientifically grounded, academically rigorous, and personally informed — rooted in a deep commitment to helping individuals and families move toward lasting change and vibrant health.

Before transitioning into the clinical field, I spent over fifteen years in corporate finance as an executive and portfolio manager. I hold a degree in Business Administration from UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business and earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, experiences that continue to inform my work with high-performing individuals, professionals, and families navigating complex life transitions.
