I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Intern and hold an M.A. in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco.  My experience has included intensive training and internship programs with a mindfulness-based orientation that seeks to integrate these perspectives with the best of psychodynamic, family systems, cognitive/behavioral and behavioral approaches.  I have worked with New Perspectives Center for Counseling and the University of San Francisco School Based Family Counseling Program, as well as the San Francisco Department of Public Health Balboa Teen Health Center.  I am also a member of the International Association of Trauma Professionals.

I practice holistic therapy because it embraces the whole person - emotional, spiritual, and physical.  Holistic psychotherapy utilizes traditional and non-traditional therapies to bring about healing, balance, and meaning.  Using your mind and body, I will help you explore explore and examine your thoughts, feelings, behavior, relationships, problems, and goals to achieve a more positive and full-filling well being.  I look forward to working together.
