My Biography
Before coming to the field of psychology, I worked as a free-lance writer and editor, and later in the book business. I also spent a number of years working at UCSF, in the hospital and in the School of Medicine.
My training in psychology began at UC Extension, in their Chemical Dependency Program, and from there I moved on to get a master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at John F. Kennedy University, specializing in therapy with children and families.
In 1992, I enrolled at The Wright Institute, hoping to expand my training to include research. Most of my training experience was in community mental health, working with diverse populations that included adults and families, individuals with chemical dependency problems, seriously mentally ill adults, and children. I have been in private practice (first as a psychological assistant) since 1996, and have been licensed since 2001. In 2000, I also started teaching Child Therapy and Human Development at The Wright Institute. At the end of 2002, I came to Kaiser’s Department of Chemical Dependency, where I continue to work part-time, four days a week.
Having grown up in Venezuela, I speak fluent Spanish, and very much enjoy working with Spanish-speaking individuals and families. I particularly like the opportunity this work gives me to be in contact with the culture of my childhood.

If you think you have a MEDICAL OR PSYCHIATRIC EMERGENCY, CALL 911 IMMEDIATELY or go to the nearest hospital. DO NOT attempt to access emergency care through this web site. An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
