Bio
Prior to becoming a licensed clinical Marriage Family Therapist, I worked in both technical and management positions in information technology, marketing, and financial services. I retired early and earned a MA in Counseling Psychology to help people live better and more satisfying lives. I was licensed in 2001 in California, MFT#38345. As a psychotherapist, I have over 15 years of experience working with clients from children (4 and up) to adults in individual psychotherapy, couples and family therapy.
One of my interests is early intervention in schools and for seveneen years, I have worked in K-6 school programs in Northern California helping children, their families and school staff. My focus has been on identifying and working with children who are struggling in school due to behavioral, emotional or difficult family situations (e.g., domestic violence, addictions, abuse, divorce).
I supervise Marriage and Family Therapist interns and trainees in educational and non-profit settings and am a Certified CAMFT Supervisor.
I have served on several boards offering financial and technological insight including the Orange County Chapter and Santa Clara Valley chapters of CAMFT and the San Mateo Credit Union from 1992 to 2001. I have been a member of CAMFT since 1997.
My educational background includes a Bachelors in Economics and an MBA from UCLA in addition to the Masters in Counseling Psychology from JFK University.
