I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a private practice in Oakland. I also work at Casa Serena Eating Disorders Program in Concord. I graduated from John.F.Kennedy University in 1994 with a Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology.
Having worked in various clinical settings since 1994, I have experience helping clients of all ages, cultures and socio-economic groups find ways to increase their quality of life. I can work with you individually, as part of a couple and/or family.
