History
Before starting my private practice, I worked at the Palo Alto VA Hospital. First as a clinician in the inpatient psychiatry ward and then as the director of the MOVE Weight Management & Wellness Program-- a behavioral medicine clinic dedicated to helping Veterans lose weight & get healthy. It was during my time at the VA that I realized that healing both the body and the mind are essential to lasting health and wellness. Veterans looking for a quick solution repeatedly came back to my clinic until they were ready to dedicate the time and commitment needed to make lasting positive change. It was here that I further cultivated my skills and realized my passion in taking an integrated mind-body approach to helping clients work through issues of the past and move forward to living healthier, happier lives.
