Thanks for taking a look at my practice. I am a licensed clinical psychologist and work with adults, children, teens, couples, and families in my office in Oakland, California. I graduated with a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. In addition to my private practice, I am a core faculty member at the Clinical Psychology (PsyD) program at CIIS. I previously was staff clinician and supervisor at RAMS Inc., a community mental health clinic in San Francisco. I have taught at various programs in the Bay Area, and am a former board member of the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology. I write on a variety of subjects related to the field of psychology, including very infrequently on the intersection of psychoanalysis and professional basketball.
