I’m a licensed Clinical Psychologist with a degree in clinical psychology from The Wright Institute in Berkeley, CA. I completed a B.A. in psychology at Oberlin College.

As part of my doctoral training I worked at a variety of sites including the Wright Institute Recovery Clinic, where I treated people in early recovery and recent parolees, and the Wright Institute Clinic, where I saw adults and couples. For both my internship and my post-doctoral training, I worked at Through the Looking Glass in Berkeley, California, an agency specializing in treating children, parents and families with disabilities.

Throughout my training, I have primarily treated men, boys, and male adolescences, attaining a specialty in healthy masculine identity development.

Over the course of my career, I have developed an integrative approach to therapy that I would consider playful, creative, and adaptable. Most of my work is deeply rooted in relational psychodynamic therapy, but I also incorporate aspects from several different therapeutic modalities, depending on the particular issue I am treating. I often employ behavioral interventions, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) strategies, family systems therapy, and structural family therapy.

Additionally, I provide culturally-sensitive and disability-informed services. Throughout all my work, I strive to use the connection as the foundation to foster insight, change, and ultimately, growth.
