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. Previously I was a clinician, supervisor, and program manager at RAMS Inc., a community mental health clinic in San Francisco. I am a former board member of the Northern California Society for Psychoanalytic Psychology. I have published on a variety of subjects related to the field of psychology and psychoanalysis, including community mental health, case management, electronic medical records, racism and whiteness, and professional basketball.
