About Me 

I am a licensed clinical social worker with a background in healthcare, I have worked for Alta Bates & Summit Medical Centers, Hospice by the Bay, and Palliative Care & Hospice East Bay.

My therapeutic approach is eclectic and informed by my experience:

• I use a strengths-based approach, working with everyone's unique abilities to help them express and discover themselves. 

• Based on individual and situational needs, I vary my approach from brief solution-focused therapy to a more humanistic/Gestalt oriented therapy. 

• My clients appreciate my transparent and interactive style, my warmth and compassionate approach.

I am currently developing an equine facilitated program for clients who could benefit from interacting with horses in a therapeutic manner. Horses have an uncanny ability to mirror our emotions and help us focus in the presence as well as transcendent belonging and order.

I work with clients of all backgrounds and spiritual beliefs.
