I’m a psychologist with a private practice, and am also an author and educator.

I’ve spent much of my career as a psychologist working with education and public health. I was a volunteer clinical supervisor at UCSF for over 30 years and served as the Executive Director of a nonpublic school and day treatment program that worked with troubled children and their families. Oakes Children’s Center had a diverse, highly qualified, multidisciplinary staff. It was repeatedly recognized for its excellence and the dedication of staff and board members.

I’ve lived in San Francisco for many years and enjoy the vibrancy and creativity of this city. I am an active runner and yoga practitioner. I like photography, reading, and travel. I am fluent in German. I am currently a member of the Haverford Corporation and helping to guide the College.

Education

I graduated from Haverford College, and began studying medicine in Berlin, Germany, before I transferred into the Doctor of Mental Health Program at the University of California in Berkeley.

I completed my doctoral degree at the University of California in San Francisco’s Department of Psychiatry before serving as a volunteer clinical supervisor at UCSF.

During the time I was at Oakes, I earned an MBA degree in the evening and weekend program at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. I focused my studies there on the nonprofit and public sectors. I have certifications as an adult and child analyst from the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco. Our local Institute is part of the International Association of Analytical Psychology. I was president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco from 2014-2016.
