I obtained my Doctorate PhD in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Child and Family Psychology, from APA-accredited Palo Alto University, Pacific Graduate School of Psychology. My Postdoctoral Residency was completed at the Psychiatry Department in Kaiser Permanente, San Rafael. I hold a BA in Psychology from the University of California, Berkeley. I have worked in a variety of clinical settings with children, adolescents, and adults providing individual, family, group, and couples therapy. I provide evidence-based treatment from a strengths-based perspective and have specialty training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).

My mission is to engage the family system, working collaboratively with children and parents to facilitate lasting change using a holistic approach. I specialize in the treatment assessment of anxiety, obsessive compulsion (OCD), depression, child behavioral problems, and attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) – incorporating psycho-education, coping skills training, parent coaching, and mindfulness approaches.

On a personal note, I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA, and provided clinical services throughout the Bay Area and on the East Coast. I value time with my family and enjoy swimming, hiking, and ballroom dancing with my wife and daughter.
