About me

I earned my Master’s Degree in clinical psychology from Pepperdine University in 1996, and my doctorate from Alliant University in 2001, with a special emphasis in child, individual and family therapy. Additionally, I obtained post-doctoral training in analytical psychology and sandtray work at the Jung Institute in Los Angeles.

In my work as a licensed psychologist, I have provided therapeutic services within a variety of community mental health agencies, public and nonpublic schools and hospital settings, including Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, where I also served as Clinical Services Coordinator at Good Shepherd Center for Homeless Women and Children.   

Additionally, I was on the board of The Multicultural Learning Center for six years and supervised psychology interns and fellows in training programs accredited by the American Psychological Association for nine years.

I have been in private practice for over 15 years, and while residing in Southern California, I enjoyed working with children and adults of all ages, in addition to working closely with students who attended the Claremont Colleges from all over the country. 

In 2021, I moved to Austin, Texas, where I am licensed and providing in-person therapy to adults, adolescents and families. I am also conducting online sessions throughout Texas and California. I look forward to speaking with you.
