I subscribe to cognitive behavioral therapy, emphasizing the rational behavioral therapy modality. I hold a doctorate (EdD) in counseling and educational psychology from the University of San Francisco, where I also earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy. I earned a Master's in Divinity from the Franciscan School of Theology at the Graduate Theological Union. I have been practicing since 1987 and am a seasoned therapist.
I subscribe to the Rational Emotive therapy modality mindfulness interventions and draw from philosophical theories when working with clients.
I have a deep clinical and personal understanding of the impact that living life in “survival mode” has on personal growth, mental health, self discovery and expression. I can understand the depth of what you’ve been through, and I also know that healing and transformation is possible. Let's talk about what our work could look like together.
