EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
I received my M.A. in Integral Counseling Psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS), San Francisco, in 1992 and my A.B. from Princeton University in 1984.
I have been a practicing psychotherapist since 1990 and in private practice, where I provide a range of therapy services, since 1995. For ten years, I was the Director of Counseling at an independent high school in San Francisco. I have been supervising therapists-in-training for nine years, most recently in the graduate clinical program at CIIS.
