Bio          

My training began informally during my undergraduate years at UC Berkeley where I double-majored in Sociology and Interdisciplinary Studies with a special emphasis on psychoanalysis. Upon graduating, I moved to New Orleans and taught high school with the Teach For America corps. It was through this experience that I was able to deepen my capacity to hold psychological strife among individuals with complex cognitive, emotional, and behavioral challenges. 

Drawn to the Bay Area, I returned to Berkeley and earned my Doctorate in Psychology from the Wright Institute. I have delivered brief- and long-term psychotherapy services in a number of Bay Area settings including Access Institute for Psychological Services, BART's Peer Support Program, SFMTA's Peer Assistance Program, the UCSF Infant-Parent Program, KIPP SF Bay Area Academy, Mills College Counseling Center, the Wright Institute Clinic, and the Cleo Eulao Center.  

I have psychoanalytic training from PINC (Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California) and am on the faculty at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis, the Wright Institute, and Access Institute.  In addition to these organizations, I am also a member of the International Association of Relational Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy, and the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I supervise, teach, consult, and attend courses regularly to continue my education.
