About Me

I am a long time resident of the San Francisco Bay Area where I completed my education and training as a licensed therapist. As such, I have lived and worked with the diverse population who reside here in the Bay Area. For the past three years I have been a caregiver for my elderly mother who passed away on July 11, 2017. I am familiar with home-hospice care and grief work. I am currently seeking job and private practice opportunities. I am flexible and I take initiative. I am eager to utilize my many skills as a therapist. I am currently attending a weekly consultation/training group in TEAM CBT supervised by David Burns, MD at the Stanford Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences. I have been attending the group for approximately the past six months.
