I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA), and my doctorate degree at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I fulfilled my internship hours at The California Institute for Women Prison (CIW) and completed my postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California at Irvine (UCI). My areas of study and research relate to the treatment and management of mood and psychotic disorders, as well as the personality factors that contribute to relational satisfaction. Moreover, I have worked with and have been trained in trauma-based interventions, cognitive/behavioral related interventions, crisis intervention, as well as humanistic modalities.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

The first session is usually an intake session that focuses on you and your life story. I will gather information about your current symptoms and feelings, as well as about what you have gone through in your life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am incredibly open and nonjudgmental. I believe we are all trying our best and that interpersonal support is essential for healing.
