About Me:

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist, practicing in Brentwood, California. My interest in working as a therapist began early in my life, as an undergraduate at UCLA. After 15 years in the financial field, I returned to school and received my Master’s degree in clinical Psychology from Antioch University.

I trained and interned at The Southern California Counseling Center (SCCC) and The Maple Counseling Center (TMCC), where I worked with individuals and couples. I also had the great opportunity to counsel adolescents (ages 14-18) in a school environment for Counseling Partners Los Angeles (CPLA). My training provided me with the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and adolescents from diverse backgrounds.

I received my grief training from Our House having completed a one year trauma studies program at the Los Angeles Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies (LAIPS). I also completed the Trauma Resiliency Model (level one).

My background includes extensive work with relationships/couples, grief and loss, anxiety, depression and trauma.
