Get the care you deserve.
Welcome, I’m so glad you are here.
AS A THERAPIST, I CREATE A SAFE SPACE TO QUIET YOUR MIND AND EASE THE STRESS IN YOUR LIFE.
I will guide you to examine what causes you distress & pain, and support you to respond with intention & purpose rather than reaction & distress. I am here to help you build your confidence in who you are as you navigate life's most challenging obstacles. Sometimes our fears and worries prevent us from living our life wholeheartedly and we cope with our pain in unhealthy and dissatisfying ways. The therapeutic relationship is an ideal place to grow and change.
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Miami (forever a Cane) and my Master's Degree in Marriage & Family Therapy through California School of Professional Psychology. I have held clinical positions with the Child Development Institute, Jewish Family Service of Los Angeles, and the Rape Treatment Center at UCLA.
I continue to further my education and training in the field psychotherapy, with an emphasis on Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Perinatal Mood & Anxiety Disorders, and Trauma Treatments.
