Education & Training

After graduating from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA with a doctorate in clinical psychology, I completed an intensive postdoctoral training fellowship at the UCSF Infant-Parent Program. My training focused on improving relational dynamics within challenging situations and helping adults and children heal from trauma and difficult early childhood experiences. I obtained specialized training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at other leading programs in the San Francisco Bay Area, including CPMC Department of Psychiatry and California College of the Arts Counseling Center.

I am a certified Gottman Couples Therapist and a PACT-Certified Level II Couples Therapist and have completed an extensive two-year training program on affect regulation and psychodynamically informed couples therapy.
