History

Established in 2010.

i have extensive experience in the treatment of children and adolescents, as well as their families. For past 12 years, I have worked at a local non-​profit agency in the east bay that serves youth who are experiencing the most troubled times of their lives. my experience has encompassed working with youth in foster care, in day treatment settings, in residential care, and in public schools. These youth presented with a broad and, often complex, blend of clinical needs and treatment issues. Pertinent areas of expertise include the impact and treatment of trauma and abuse, attachment and relationship issues, parenting strategies, family discord, aggression, anxiety, depression, impulsivity and attentional difficulties, and behavioral, academic, and other school related problems.

I have worked in the mental health field since 1997. I received my master’s degree in art therapy and marriage and family therapy from Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont. I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC40460) since 2003. I became a registered Art Therapist (ATR) in 2001 and became board certified (ATR-​BC) in 2006. Throughout the last 13 years, I have worked primarily with children and teens, who are considered at-​risk and have unique and complex needs, as well as their families, who are often multi-​stressed and struggling to cope in many areas of their lives. I have provided these services in a variety of settings, including public schools, special education/​day treatment programs, foster care and residential treatment programs, and in the community. I have served a wide range of backgrounds and issues, related to family, home, community, peer or school-​related stressors and struggles.
