I received my Masters degree from the University of California – Berkeley and hold an LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, License #114040) in the State of Massachusetts. I received my B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, studying both the cultural and biological variations in human behavior and development.  
I have several years of clinical experience in private practice, community agency and medical settings. I also have experience as an elite athlete and coach, for those interested in peak mental performance in athletics.
I have been practicing mindfulness meditation for the past 9 years and often integrate mindfulness concepts and techniques into my work. Prior to my clinical career, I worked in the information technology sector in the San Francisco Bay Area.
