I received a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and a Master of Science in Counseling from California State University, Northridge.

While there, I assisted a professor in leading groups of masters-level students.

Having spent several years providing therapy to students and professors at Glendale College where I successfully advocated for the inclusion of family and couples therapy, I am fortunate to have worked with people from all different walks of life and gained experience navigating a diverse array of human struggles. One of my main goals in life is to accept challenges. I feel extremely honored that I have been welcomed into so many people’s inner worlds to help them face their own personal challenges head-on.

In my private practice, I have the pleasure of working with many creative people: actors, artists/animators, musicians, directors, editors, and writers. Also among my dear clients are gifted and highly gifted people, people experiencing life adjustments, parents, professors, college and postgraduate students, and adult children of dysfunctional families/narcissistic parents. I absolutely love my job and I bring enthusiasm, grit, engagement, and passion to each and every session with my clients. In addition to being a licensed marriage and family therapist, I am a certified clinical hypnotherapist.
