She has over 15 years of experience with addiction, mood, and personality disorders. Her background and training was very traditional and psychodynamic, but over the years as she saw more patients with substance abuse issues and patients with severe emotional vulnerability, her focus shifted towards evidence-based treatments, such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Mentalization Based Therapy. In her private practice she sees individuals(18 and up) and facilitates DBT Skills groups for individuals and family members. She has been a member of the San Mateo Psychological Association since 2008, and holds the position of co-chair of the Disaster Response Network.
