LMFT, 15 years of experience
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Los Angeles, where I specialized in the Psychology of Trauma. I support individuals of all ages in processing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to, substance use disorder and various patterns of addiction, intimate partner issues, trauma, both current and past involving families and work environments, depression, self-esteem, anxiety, and relationship difficulties.
Your first session will be different from future visits. The initial visit is a period for you and I to get to know each other, and get an idea of how to proceed. Future visits will be more therapeutic in nature. For example, in your second session, we'll begin to explore a specific symptom, problem, or past trauma you mentioned in the first session.
I also have an MFA from UCLA in Film and Television Producing and for 16 years I worked both in the studio system and with independents. Primarily I worked in development and production of features, TV sitcoms and radio programming. I studied art in undergraduate school at the California College of the Arts and maintain a connection in the arts both locally and on the east coast. The film, television and art industries have given me a certain insight into an array of different personalities and an appreciation of the trials and tribulations that come with the creative mind and soul.
If you're experiencing relationship concerns, interpersonal challenges, or employment issues. Struggling with addiction, depression, self-esteem, anxiety, or the aftermath of trauma? As a therapist, I am here to support and guide you. I am empathetic, genuine, connected and collaborative. My role is to facilitate your understanding of what is preventing and blocking you from achieving your goals, harmony of mind and repose. Prior to becoming a therapist, I have worked for over 18 years in the entertainment industry. A process of introspection led me to discover my true passion lies in connecting with people.

Integrative psychotherapy is the integration of elements from different schools of psychotherapy. ---Kintsugi: the art of precious scars--- When an object breaks, it doesn’t mean that it is no longer useful. Its breakage can become valuable. We should try to repair things because in doing so we obtain new insight and create more valuable objects. ---This is the essence of resilience--- Each of us should look for a way to cope with traumatic events in a positive growth, learn from negative experiences, take the best from them and convince ourselves that exactly these experiences make each person unique, and precious Kintsugi: the art of precious scars
