I’m a licensed clinical psychotherapist working in central Los Angeles. I work with adults, adolescents, and children in both individual and family settings. I specialize in treating anxiety, as well as learning difficulties.
I believe that therapy needs to be enjoyable as well as effective. To put it better, it needs to be enjoyable in order to be effective.
If you are going to stick with therapy and put in the hard work necessary to make real changes to your life, therapy needs to be something you look forward to. Whatever your age, I make sure to use techniques that are engaging and help you to take an active role in your personal improvement.
Neurofeedback
An area I specialize in is Neurofeedback therapy. During my training, I learned that it is a powerful tool to help with ADHD, learning disorders, OCD, anxiety, PTSD, depression, and more. Neurofeedback works by directly training your brain to function in a more appropriate way. If you are interested in learning more, please get in touch.
Education and experience
I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Southern California in 2001. Following that, I went on to complete two Masters of Arts degrees, one in Education and the other in Clinical Psychology, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy. I received both degrees from the Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology. My experience as a classroom teacher in Redondo Beach allowed me to see first-hand the effects academic and social struggles can have on both a child and their family. The insight gained from this helped to shape the unique and effective approach I now take with my clients.

- Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology (Marriage & Family Therapy) – Pepperdine University, 2006
