ABOUT ME

 

I am a board certified psychiatrist who provides psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults as well as medication for older adolescents and adults when indicated. I am also a child, adolescent and adult psychoanalyst in-training at the San Francisco Center for Psychoanalysis. Additionally, I have received training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Infant Parent Psychotherapy.

 

I obtained my undergraduate degree from New York University Tisch School of the Arts with a major in theater and a minor in journalism and mass communication. I received my post-baccalauereate credits from Mills College and my medical training from the University of California San Francisco. I completed my psychiatry training at San Mateo Behavioral Health and Recovery Services. I received EMDR training through the Parnell Institute and my training in Infant Parent Psychotherapy through the Infant Parent Program at San Francisco General Hospital. I also have experience in early childhood education.

​

I work with people across the lifespan and whose struggles are diverse. My areas of focus are relationship issues, life transitions, mood and anxiety issues, trauma, parent-child struggles and developmental issues.
