I have been working in the counseling and public health fields for the last 25 years, primarily in healthcare settings and with traumatized and marginalized populations.  These experiences have taught me about people’s capacity to be resilient in the midst of overwhelming obstacles. I understand the tangible desire we all have to be the best we can be, whether in relationship with others or individually.  I feel honored that I get to be a therapist for my job. I love helping people make the changes the seek.  

I hold Master’s degrees in Social Work and Public Health from the University of California, Berkeley and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with the State of California.  I’m currently working on-line only with California residents.

On a more personal note, I have lived in the Bay Area since 1994 and have been with my husband for over 25 years.  I’m a parent. I love music, all kinds of performing and visual arts, hiking, biking, fiction, food, cooking, film, and travel.
