With fifteen years of experience working in mental health as an advocate, counselor, nurse, therapist, and Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I bring a breadth of knowledge to my work. Before becoming a nurse, I completed a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology. I completed an associate degree in Nursing at City College of San Francisco. I followed that with a Master of Science in Nursing from UCSF. In addition, I am in my second year in the Psychotherapy Therapy Training Program at The Psychotherapy Institute. I am currently a volunteer clinical faculty member at UCSF School of Nursing. Previously, I was a board member of the Bay Area Hearing Voices Network. In my free time, I enjoy relaxing with family, cycling, and soccer.
