For the past 20 years, I have been providing psychotherapy, clinical consultation and staff trainings in San Francisco's non-profit sector. I have worked in a variety of settings such as schools, transitional housing shelters, drug treatment programs, outpatient clinics, and

private practice. Through this work, I have helped people from diverse backgrounds achieve improved health and move toward greater satisfaction in their lives and in themselves. I

strongly believe that no matter what real obstacles we face, each of us has the power within ourselves to affect positive change and that therapy can be an effective tool in bringing about that change.
