Hello. I am a San Francisco therapist and psych assistant who offers integrative psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy for couples, individuals & groups.  I have been practicing therapy for the past six years and currently work at the Center for Family Issues in central San Francisco. Contact me for more information about my approach to therapy. Click here for my professional affiliations.

I completed a full-time pre-doctoral internship at the UCSF Department of Psychiatry (ranked 13th nationwide in psychiatry by U.S. News) at San Francisco General Hospital in 2007. At the hospital, I focused on individual therapy with trauma survivors and attended yearlong training at the Trauma Recovery Center (TRC). At the TRC, I developed a specialty in trauma and work to establish safety and emotional stabilization utilizing Lisa Najavits’ “Seeking Safety” skills and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills developed by Marsha Linehan.

Prior to that, at the Marina Counseling Center, I provided psychodynamic relational therapy for individuals and couples, with an emphasis on personality styles (MBTI) and communication skills (Gottman; Bader & Pearson’s developmental model). I also facilitated and continue to lead co-ed process groups in the City, focusing on interpersonal interaction, group process, self-awareness, and patterns in relationships.

Prior to my doctoral training, I spent seven years working as a management consultant, including at Bain & Company. I understand how important personal development is to professional success.
