About Me
My Career...
I launched my private practice in 2004. However my career in mental health began in 1996 when I entered a masters program in clinical social work. Having dealt with a number of difficult experiences in my own life, I know what it can be like to feel alone or trapped in pain - and how healing therapy can be. I'm passionate about making a difference in the world by helping others transform pain into power and to evolve into more authentic and self-actualized versions of themselves.
I spent the first 10+ years of my career working as a therapist with children and adults in urban clinics and public schools. Over the years, I have mentored therapists and coaches in training. I care very much about social justice and exploring the impact that eco-systems and social policy have on people's lives.
Outside of Work...
I love the ocean, travel, food, culture and quality time with loved ones. I'm an animal lover and dad to an exceptionally sweet and goofy doodle. I'm originally from the east coast and moved to San Francisco in 2004.
I've spent many years involved with theater and have an interest in metaphysical spirituality. I've explored a number of alternative healing modalities in my own evolutionary journey. I'm happy to chat with you about some of that if you'd like.
