Experience
I have been working in the mental health field for 25 years. Early in my career I worked with the street youth of Hollywood, children and adult survivors of sexual abuse and in several renowned Los Angeles Hospitals in both inpatient and outpatient psychiatric settings. I was a member of the trauma team at Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles as a trauma specialist and supervisor for 14 years.
In recent years I decided to support people struggling with substance abuse. I worked as a primary therapist and Clinical Director at an addiction treatment center specializing in helping the LGBTQIA community. I have also provided online groups for individuals struggling with anxiety, grief and isolation.
I completed a 2 year fellowship specializing in couples therapy. I have received EMDR Intensive training from the Trauma Institute & Child Trauma Institute.
Along with a traditional psychology foundation that includes psychodynamic theory, family systems and object relations, I am also experienced in attachment theory, trauma informed therapy, somatic work, IFS informed and depth psychology.
I am a student of various psycho-spiritual practices, Buddhism, Transformational Work and Meditation. My certifications include: Mediator, Collaborative Divorce Coach, and certified in Brainspotting. I have completed EMDR level 2.
