About

I am a PhD level clinical psychologist trained in both clinical practice and research methods. 

I have significant clinical experience working with adults, couples, teenagers and children in a variety of settings, including private practice, agency work and in schools.

My research experience stems from time spent as a Project Director in the Department of Psychiatry at Stanford University. I have also spent significant time working with cancer survivors at Mount Zion Hospital and through my extensive doctorate research.


 

 
I received my Doctorate of Psychology at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, CA and my B.A. in Psychology from Occidental College in Pasadena, CA.
