Extensive experience working in out-patient dual-diagnosis and recovery programs throughout the Bay Area.

Private Practice since 2014.

TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I have extensive expertise working in and creating dual-diagnosis (mental health/addiction recovery) out-patient programs on the Central Coast. Throughout my time working with various mental health programs, I have become proficient in myriad therapy modalities. My doctoral work was focused on Jungian Analytical Psychology.

I have been fortunate to work with varied and diverse age groups and communities. I look forward to helping you recognize and claim the change you seek, the emergence of a stronger personal sense of Self in this world.
