I’m a psychologist based in beautiful Mill Valley, California. In 2018, I founded Mind Rising Psychological Assessment with a passion for helping families navigate complex questions through thoughtful assessments. My journey has taken me through various settings, including medical facilities, private practices, and universities, with a focus on neuropsychological assessments for children and young adults.
 
Beyond my clinical work, I became a resource parent (foster parent) during the pandemic.  I continue to provide infant respite care to families in Marin. This experience has enriched my life and deepened my commitment to supporting families. Outside of work, I love spending time in nature, sharing home-cooked meals with family, and visiting new places.
