I have been working in the mental health field for the last 14 years, and have over 20 years of education and training. 

In 2012, I completed a two year, full-time advanced training program at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA), earning a certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy.

I received my Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Santa Barbara; and a Masters in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in Child Studies from Antioch University Los Angeles.

I received my BA in Psychology from the University of California Los Angeles. 

I have worked in community clinics around the Los Angeles area, including Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, California Family Counseling Center within the Latino Family Therapy Program, and F.A.C.T. (Family, Adult and Child Therapies).
