About Me

 I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The City University of New York. I completed postdoctoral training at Access Institute and pre-doctoral training at California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco.

I have specialized training in trauma—particularly trauma originating in childhood.  I also have specialized training in addiction and geropsychology. Having worked in both inpatient hospital and residential settings, I’ve supported individuals through mental health crises, balancing life-saving interventions with collaborative crisis management that prioritizes hospitalization prevention. Last but not least, as an affiliate of MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) I am deeply interested in helping people who have had psychedelic experiences explore, integrate, and seal in the insights and lessons offered by these profound medicines.

My preferred pronouns are she/ her/hers.
