About 

My practice is devoted to working with adults, adolescents and couples to help them deal with difficulties in their relationships and in their personal lives.  I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist, and have received extensive training at such institutions as Children's Hospital, the Maple Counseling Center, and the Wright Institute, Los Angeles.  I received my B.A. (Summa Cum Laude) from Washington University, St. Louis and spent a year abroad at Edinburgh University, in Scotland.  I received my M.A. and doctorate in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology.  I have been a practicing clinical psychologist for over 15 years.

​I am continually inspired and intrigued by the durability and complexity of people.  Often when people feel overwhelmed and defeated or scared, it can be a critical juncture for growth and recovery.  I help people to challenge and embrace the different parts within themselves.  Armed with the spirit of exploration, and the knowledge that this process is ultimately freeing, I help people to face old patterns or beliefs and chose new and empowering options.  I believe that as people revisit the past in the context of the relationships and issues that are important to them in the present, powerful similarities and patterns often emerge.  By recognizing and safely re-experiencing these patterns in therapy, and by exploring how these patterns drive our responses to people and events, the road to personal healing and growth unfolds and positive change becomes possible.

My Practice
My experience enables me to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. I treat a variety of mental health disorders, and provide a neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples. 

Therapy is a personal, private and unique experience that can change your life.  Should you choose this path, I am prepared to join, and guide, you on your journey.
