I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD) from the Wright Institute in Berkeley. I also earned a Master’s degree in Special Education from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor’s degree in English from Brown University.
I completed my pre-doctoral internship at Westcoast Children’s Clinic in Oakland, where I focused on childhood trauma, foster care, and family systems work. My postdoctoral fellowship training occurred at The Clinic California, a group practice where I provided individual therapy to adolescents and adults. Over the years, my clinical experience has spanned hospitals, schools, community mental health settings, psychological assessment clinics, and group practice. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients across the lifespan.
Before becoming a psychologist, I spent sixteen years as a teacher and learning specialist, an experience that continues to inform my therapeutic work today.
In my free time, you will find me out in nature whenever possible. I enjoy the company of family, friends and my dog, or time alone cooking, reading and gardening.
