I received an M.A in Psychology from Phillips Graduate University, and a B.A in Art History from The Ohio State University. I am currently working in private practice, am licensed in California and Ohio, and seeing clients in both states. My experience prior to licensure is broad. I spent years working with children in the LAUSD elementary schools, saw adult patients at the Las Encinas Psychiatric hospital in Pasadena, and worked in community mental health providing sliding scale counseling to adults, couples and families. I have a background in fine art and the performing arts, and spent many years working in the entertainment industry prior to starting a new career in psychology. I understand the intricacies and particular pressures, and politics of the art world, and the problems that creative people as well as those who are on the business side of it face.
I am currently in the throws of expanding my practice into a life long dream of establishing, building and growing a community space where addressing the intersections of societal discourses and mental health is possible. Stay tuned!!
I am a clinical member of both the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and the California Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (CAMFT).
