I am a clinical psychologist in private practice in Redwood City, California, since 1996.

I received my B.A. from Stanford University, graduating Phi Beta Kappa and with distinction in English Literature. I went on to earn a Master's degree from Stanford in Education and taught high school English in Los Gatos, California, and later college composition classes at Deree College in Athens, Greece. Returning to Stanford, I served as an administrator for the next ten years, ultimately in the position of Assistant Dean of Research. I was responsible for fundraising, public relations, and facilities development and management for the seven interdisciplinary laboratories and institutes reporting to the Dean.

I graduated from the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology in Palo Alto, in 1995, having completed my dissertation: Attachment Style and the Reconstruction of Autobiographical Memories, and an APA-accredited predoctoral internship at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. I returned to California and a post-doctoral fellowship at the Santa Clara Kaiser Permanente. The next year, I served as Executive Director of the Samaritan Counseling Center, a faith-based counseling center in Palo Alto, before turning my attention full-time to my private practice.

Most recently, I have joined the faculty of Fuller Seminary in Northern California, as an adjunct assistant professor of pastoral counseling. In my practice, I am developing a new specialty area in Executive Coaching. I've also begun writing a book on transformation and the story of the Exodus.
