Great to meet you!

With over 35 years of post-master’s experience, I bring deep clinical expertise and two decades of leadership in hospital settings, where I’ve managed departments and guided the growth of clinical teams. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of California, Berkeley, and have dedicated my career to both direct patient care and the professional development of others.

My work has always centered on supporting individuals—whether patients or professionals—in navigating challenges and achieving meaningful goals. In recent years, my focus has expanded to include coaching, clinical supervision, and training. I partner with clinicians and clients alike to foster growth, resilience, and progress in areas that have long felt out of reach.

I continue to find fulfillment in direct therapeutic work, while also offering coaching and consultation to those seeking clarity, direction, and support in their personal or professional lives.

My approach to therapy

While traditional mental health care has often focused on symptom relief and reducing suffering, I believe it must also include a commitment to personal growth, resilience, and creating a life that feels meaningful and fulfilling.

What you can expect from me

Sessions with me will emphasize a partnership in achieving the clients goals.
