PRACTICE INFORMATION
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience providing psychotherapy for adults, couples, and families. I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology, with degrees from California State University, Northridge, and Pepperdine University, and completed postdoctoral training at UCLA's Department of Neurology. I am licensed in California (21342), New Mexico (PSY-2026-0057), New York (028174), Oregon (4217), and Tennessee (3891), and PSYPACT certified (13825) to provide telehealth across most participating states — for the current list, visit the official PSYPACT map.
I look forward to working with you, and I've included some information below to help facilitate our first meeting together. My general approach to therapy is to provide useful feedback in an environment where you feel supported and respected. We will work together to understand your goals for treatment so that you can create more effective outcomes.

My Approach
________________________
My therapeutic approach integrates cognitive‑behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and family systems therapy to support meaningful healing and long‑term change. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is built on a deep understanding of human development, paired with clear, honest communication that helps clients feel seen and supported.
In our work together, I take an active, collaborative, and empathic approach—creating a safe space that is both encouraging and appropriately challenging. By exploring past experiences, understanding present circumstances, and identifying unhealthy patterns, I help clients access their inner strengths, overcome difficult situations, and make noticeable, lasting changes.
As a wife and mother of two children, I bring a relatable, down‑to‑earth perspective to therapy. I understand the real‑life pressures adults face while trying to build meaningful, balanced lives. My goal is to offer grounded, compassionate support for clients navigating stress, anxiety, relationships, narcissistic abuse recovery, parenting, and major life transitions.
Therapeutic
I believe a successful therapeutic relationship is rooted in a deep academic understanding of human development, but is most effective when expressed in honest and simple communication between client and therapist.
Engaging
My approach is to actively engage, creating a supportive and collaborative environment that is equally empathic and challenging. By focusing on both past experiences and present circumstances, I seek to access the client's inner strengths in order to overcome difficult situations, make noticeable changes and break unhealthy patterns.
Relatable
Training aside, I hope to be down to earth and honest in my approach. I offer my life experience as a wife and mother of two. I understand the pressures that arise trying to create meaningful lives in a world full of pressures.
Holistic
I believe in a holistic approach to emotional well being including nutrition, exercise and overall wellness. My orientation blends cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and family systems approaches to healing and change.
