Experience

I’m a compassionate Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 17 years of experience, which includes 7 years of supervised clinical experience and 10 years as a licensed clinician. I hold a Master of Science in Rehabilitation Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from San Francisco State University.

I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I completed DBT Foundational Training through Marsha Linehan’s Behavioral Tech, LLC, and have used this approach to help clients build skills, manage intense emotions, and improve relationships. I’m also fully trained in EMDR Therapy Level I and am currently in EMDR Therapy Level II Advanced Training and ongoing consultation, pursuing EMDRIA certification.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of clients, including at-risk youth at Walden House in San Francisco, CA; individuals facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges in recovery at Women’s Recovery Association in Burlingame, CA; and I’ve also led clinical teams and managed a court-mandated program at Pyramid Alternatives, Inc. (now StarVista). These experiences inform my collaborative, client-centered approach today.

Since 2017, I’ve been in private practice based in San Mateo County, CA. I remote therapy to clients across the San Francisco Bay Area and throughout California. I offer EMDR Therapy and a comprehensive Adult DBT Program in my practice.
