I received my Bachelor’s degree in Human Development from Pacific Oaks College and my Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University.

 

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in Hollywood. I approach treatment with patients from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic orientation incorporating a neurodevelopmental perspective. I treat individual adults, couples, individual children, parent-infant dyads and groups.

 

My interest in the impact of early relationships on mental health informs the work I do with clients no matter their age.  I have experience working with anxiety and depressive disorders, trauma, grief, loss, life transitions, perinatal mental health, parenting and behavior challenges, and developmental delays and autism spectrum disorders. 

 

My clinical training included experience at several well known clinics in the Los Angeles area where I worked with a variety of populations. I trained at Valley Community Counseling Clinic where I worked with individual adults, children, and parent-infant dyad from a psychoanalytically oriented perspective. I gained clinical experience at Cheerful Helpers Child & Family Study Center working with children and families dealing with Autism Spectrum Disorders, developmental delays, attachment and processing disorders.  At Well Baby Center, I co-facilitated Mindful Parenting Infant/Toddler groups, Mindfulness-based parent groups, preschool readiness groups and provided psychotherapy to adults, couples, children, and parent-infant dyads. I have extensive training in several early intervention and relationship-based therapies such as: Neuro-Relational Framework; Watch, Wait, Wonder; and Resources for Infant Educarers. Most recently I completed a Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the Psychoanalytic Center of California.
