My therapy style is warm and direct. I pay attention to both what's going on in your present and what happened in your past. We will engage in open exploration as well as focusing on specific skills and answers to address your questions.

I have provided therapeutic services in multiple venues for over a decade and counting, including community mental health (serving low income and unhoused clients) and college counseling (at Mills College and the University of Pacific). I graduated from The Wright Institute in Berkeley with a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology.

My previous careers in academia and the arts continue to inform my approach to therapy. In over a decade spent at Stanford University, I taught for a dozen different programs and departments, from Classics to the Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. I continue to value variety, working with families and couples (and throuples, etc.) as well as individuals.

As a theater practitioner, I always favored ensemble work, and I remain a big believer in collaboration. I bring my experience and expertise to the therapy space, but so do my clients—they have the most experience and expertise regarding their own lives.
