Experience & Education

 
 

my EXPERIENCE

Since 2010, I have worked in mental health as a therapist, a program supervisor and a clinical supervisor, in multiple practice settings. I have experience working with diverse populations, in regards to race, culture, religion and/or spirituality, socio-economic status and LGBTQ. 

​Early in my career, I provided psychotherapy to undergraduate and graduate students at The Juilliard School in New York City. For eight years, I worked at a large, mental health non-profit agency in the Bay Area. I provided and trained others to provide behavioral therapy and parent coaching for children and their caregivers with severe mental health and emotional challenges. Currently, I work with adults with a special interest and experience with millennials, professionals and parents/caregivers.

Prior to my mental health experience, I spent seven years in New York City working in national television media advertising and sales.  I understand the demands of working in high stress and high achieving corporate culture and challenges with navigating a work-life balance.
