Marriage & Family Therapist

After volunteering as a Peer Counselor in high school, I knew I wanted to study psychology. I attended Emmanuel College in Boston receiving a B.S. in Psychology. I went on to receive my M.S. degree in Psychology Rehabilitation Counseling from Cal State Los Angeles. After working in the counseling field for over 20 years I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a therapist.

Masters in Clinical Psychology

In 2006 I completed my Masters in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University and after the completion of my internships I was licensed in 2009. I spent most of my internship working at an art school with artists helping them to move through creative blocks. In addition I supervised teens at Teenline, a peer to peer hotline located at Cedars Sinai Hospital.

Couples & Sex Therapy

I have completed my fellowship at the UCLA Couples and Sex Therapy Training Program with Dr. Walter Brackelmanns MD through AACAST (The American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists). I am an AACAST Certified Couples and Sex Therapist.

Trauma & EMDR Therapy

I am an EMDR Certified Therapist, a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and have a Domestic Violence Certification. I am committed to helping others improve the quality of their lives including helping them uncover what a quality life would look like to them.

I have over 25 years experience in mental health and over 10 years experience as a therapist.

Clients who come to me who are stuck, discouraged or hopeless will find that I do believe that they can have a life beyond their wildest dreams. I am convinced people can change, overcome and thrive. Therapy is a very personal experience and I take my job seriously, however, I do laugh with my clients, I believe we can use humor to heal.
