Seeking out a therapist is a very personal endeavor and is the opportunity to delve deeply into one's soul. It is a chance to consider new ways of living. I have been working with adults and children for over three decades providing individual, family and group therapy. I am offering individual telehealth-based adult psychotherapy that explores how one's past history affects the present, how families develop patterns that are both helpful and challenging, and how to create a life that embraces hope, joy, potential and meaning. I invite clients to bring in dreams, artwork and other forms of expression and work to discover the healing potential of these experiences.

I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley with a BA in psychology in 1981, followed by a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage, Family and Child Therapy in 1983. I practiced as an MFT providing mental health services in Oakland and San Francisco, primarily working in the Latino community. I also worked with New Bridges, a program that worked with youth and adults on unlearning racism and other social oppression. Returning to graduate school in 1989 I earned a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 1996 with a dissertation that looked at the impact of dissociative tendency on the dream content of women. I trained in a San Francisco based Latino agency, as well as several LGBT agencies. My experiences also includes program management and teaching in graduate psychology programs. I am currently the Director of Behavioral Health in a program that provides clinical services in a primary care clinic.
