My Background and Approach
I received a doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA in 2013. As part of my training, I provided therapy to at-risk teens at Lincoln High School in San Leandro, CA; supplied mental health services to homeless men and women at Life Long Medical Center in downtown Oakland, CA; and provided individual and family therapy at the Portia Bell Hume Center’s multiple clinics throughout the San Francisco Bay Area to those with severe mental illness including schizophrenia, substance abuse and suicidality. During this time I was also fortunate to be given the opportunity to counsel adolescent parolees at a substance abuse clinic in Langa, South Africa. For my predoctoral internship, I did two years of advanced training at the Berkeley Therapy Institute where I further developed my psychotherapy skills with a wide range of adolescents and adults. I continued my training as a post-doctoral fellow at Access Institute for Psychological Services in San Francisco.
