Overview

I have worked in the field of Mental Health and Health Care since 1984. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW, State of California, LCS 14447) and a Certified Group Psychotherapist (42559, through the American Group Psychotherapy Association). I have been in Private Practice in San Francisco since 1992 and in Menlo Park since 1996. My speciality focus has included work with gay and bisexual men and their families, group work, HIV/AIDS and other physical illnesses, homophobia, stress management, burnout, and grief and loss issues.

For many years, I worked in hospital, home care and hospice settings providing Social Work services, including crisis intervention, counseling focusing on death and dying issues, case management, and other general social work and psychothereupetic needs and concerns.

My past volunteer experience included individual and couples’ therapy at New Leaf (twelve years), Social Work Psychotherapy Providers (two years), Harvey Milk Institute (five years), and Alumnae Resources (four years).

Additionally, I have provided a number of trainings, inservices, workshops and presentations for lay audiences, hospitals, health care agencies and organizations throughout the country. A listing of these can be found under trainings. For the past nine years, I have participated on a panel of Trainers with the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), providing HIV education for social workers on a national level, through a grant with NIMH.

My professional commitments have been with Gaylesta (the Gay/Lesbian/Bisexual/Transgender Psychotheapist Association of the Bay Area) providing a variety of duties (twenty-eight years), and with the American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA, Co-Chair of the LGBT Special Interest Group, 2004-2008).

Additionally, I belong to the following organizations: National Association of Social Workers (NASW), American Group Psychotherapy Association (AGPA), California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT), Santa Clara Valley CAMFT (SCV-CAMFT), San Francisco CAMFT, East Bay CAMFT, Northern California Group Psychotherapy Society (NCGPS) and the Santa Clara County Psychological Association (SCCPA).

I currently serve on the Faculty of The Psychotherapy Institute's Group Therapy Training Program in Berkeley, CA. I am also on the Faculty of the American Group Psychotherapy Association's

Annual Conference, leading two day process groups in 2019 and 2020. In 2019, I began leading the Process Group for the San Mateo County Psychiatry Residency Training Program.
