I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of education, training, and clinical experience in the mental health field. I have private practice office locations in San Francisco and San Rafael where I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples in the Bay Area.
I received my doctorate in clinical psychology (PsyD) from the California Institute of Integral Studies; a holistic practice-focused program that bridges depth-psychology, the latest scientific research and neuroscience, and the world’s great wisdom traditions. I am grateful for attending a unique program that emphasizes multiple ways of knowing, sociocultural factors, and spiritual dimensions of human experience.
I have trained and worked in a variety of settings including community mental health clinics doing both psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessments, in-home behavioral services for individuals on the autism spectrum, school and university settings, and a harm-reduction based drug treatment center. I have also been an active volunteer at Spirit Rock Meditation Center’s Family and Teen program as a mindful leader.
I consider myself to be a generalist, meaning I have training and experience working with diverse people struggling with a broad range of emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal difficulties.
The Process
STEP
1
I start my process with a free 20-minute phone or video consultation call to better understand why someone is interested in working with me, assess fit, answer questions, and discuss the next steps including scheduling an initial session.
STEP
2
In our initial sessions we'll begin forming our relationship and cultivating a therapeutic alliance based on safety and trust. During this time I ask more questions than usual to gather information including history and why you are seeking out therapy. This may include discussing your goals for therapy, concerns, and more specifically the history of the areas you are wanting to work on together.
STEP
3
If we are moving forward with psychedelic-assisted therapy sessions, we will then begin a more focused screening and intake process to better understand your needs, goals, and possible contraindications. This is then followed by preparation, treatment, and integration sessions that are individualized to each person I work with.
