About
I have been to honored work with hundreds of clients since receiving my MSW in 1998 and subsequently my LCSW. I am not only well versed in evidence based treatments such as EMDR and CBT, but I also understand the importance of how to build on the unique strengths that each individual, family and couple already has.
Raised in Northern California, I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1993 and a Master's in Clinical Social Work in 1998 from the Smith College School for Social Work-considered one of the most academically rigorous and highly regarded graduate programs for clinical work in the country.
Throughout my education and career, I have worked with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences in a range of settings, including community agencies, group homes, psychiatric hospitals, schools, and private practice. While we may have different experiences and challenges, we all share a desire for connection, meaning, and happiness.
