Born in NYC, raised in NJ.

Received my B.A. at Oberlin College in a self-developed interdisciplinary major entitled "The Psychology of Film: How Film & Language Influence Behavior and Belief." I also had a minor in film and attended film school for three semesters at NYU's Tisch School in NYC and Florence, Italy and at Northwestern's School of Communication.

I am a certified hypnotist, mixologist (bartender), and design human engineer. I am ordained as a minister in the Universal Life Church, raised Jewish, and involved in Vipassana meditation practices.

I've worked as a pool cleaner, banquet waiter, bar-back, substance abuse counselor, clinical psychotherapist, filmmaker, substitute teacher, and executive director for a non-profit association.

I am presently continuing the work I began in undergraduate at the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, where I am a Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology. My dissertation is exploring the effects of video guided relaxation on self-reported measures of stress in an adolescent population.

With my Ph.D., I intend to teach, work as a clinician (upon receiving licensure), and publish. My objective is to develop forms of interactive electronic media which help to supplement the purposes of psychotherapy, to "create a world of peace and freedom through personal growth and devoted service."
