Welcome to my practice! I have been captivated by the field of psychology since my first day in an “Introduction to Psychology” course in college. I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and high honors Summa Cum Laude. I subsequently received my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Clinical-Community Psychology from an APA Accredited program at the University of La Verne.

I have trained and worked in various clinical settings, including UCLA’s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital & Semel Institute, Verdugo Mental Health Center, and The Help Group. After completing an APA psychology internship at the Loma Linda VA Medical Center, I went on to complete a year-long postdoctoral fellowship at the Miami VA Medical Center. Before returning to sunny California and transitioning into private practice, I was employed as a clinical psychologist at the Orlando VA Medical Center.

I strive to provide a safe, relaxed, confidential environment where we will work together to address your current concerns.

Most recently, I have worked in private practice for the last nine years. During this time, I have developed a specialized interest in work with individuals and couples struggling with life transitions, stress management, and issues related to anxiety and depression. Although I use research-supported methods, I believe that each individual is unique, as are his/her past experiences, current concerns, and environment. We will work collaboratively to develop a treatment plan that is specifically designed to meet your needs and goals.

Whether you're struggling to get out of bed in the morning, or can benefit from simply speaking with a non-biased professional, in a supportive and caring setting, don't wait. Take control of your life and call today!
