​I received my doctorate in clinical psychology from the Wright Institute in Berkeley, where I was trained in contemporary psychodynamic therapy and depth-oriented work. I completed my predoctoral internship at Access Institute for Psychological Services in San Francisco. Before pursuing clinical training, I studied sociology at Vassar College, where I focused on feminism, identity, and systems of power—interests that continue to inform my therapeutic perspective. My clinical experience includes over ten years of working with adults and teens across a range of settings, with a particular focus on anxiety, relationship patterns, and the experience of feeling different or outside the mainstream.
