I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist specializing in individual, couples and family psychotherapy with an east/west (or external/internal) perspective. My private practice is associated with the Community Healing Centers in Pacific Heights, San Francisco, CA.
With over six years experience as a private practice clinician, I have seen a broad spectrum of clients. My education includes a masters in Counseling Psychology from USF with an emphasis in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I went on to get a PhD in East/West Psychology to layer eastern wisdom onto western psychology. Currently I am a teacher's assistant at CIIS.
Among my areas of expertise, including depression and anxiety, I work with many clients on their relationship difficulties. I have found that an understanding and intimacy of your true self creates the same with another.
My background includes 15+ years of self-study including philosophy, spirituality, and psychology. I worked for about 15 years in the business world with roles in business development, advertising, and sales. My love of humanity has led me to volunteer at homeless shelters, a chronic illness center, eating disorder non-profit, and an organization to help end the homeless cycle.
