I offer psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, leadership coaching, couples therapy, and clinical consultation. Therapy, analysis, and coaching are considerably different. Please inquire to learn more.
I received my pre-licensed training in child, adolescent, and adult psychotherapy at Richmond Area Multi-Services and Access Institute for Psychological Services. Once licensed, I began a doctorate in History of Consciousness at the University of California, Santa Cruz. Between 2022 and 2023, I completed my doctorate, earned a certificate in psychodynamic coaching from Emory University, and resumed clinical training at the Psychoanalytic Institute of Northern California.
