Bio

I am a licensed psychologist and have been working for more than 10 years in the San Francisco Bay Area in both private practice and at the Kaiser Permanente Psychiatry departments in Pleasanton and Oakland. Currently I am working in private practice in Oakland. I received my doctoral degree at the California School of Professional Psychology. I completed my pre-doctoral internship at San Francisco Kaiser and my post-doctoral fellowship at Queen’s Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii.

I have experience working with clients struggling with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, alcohol and drug use/abuse, grief/loss, and relationship issues. I have specialized training and extensive experience working with clients struggling with eating disorders, panic disorder, OCD, and self-mutilating behaviors. I enjoy working with couples who are struggling with communication difficulties, parenting stress, and cross-cultural issues. Over the years I have taught classes and groups on depression, bulimia, anorexia, binge eating, OCD, panic, alcohol abuse, and stress reduction.
