​I earned my M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University and am registered as a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, #148805. I have received in-depth training in object relations theory, and contemporary psychoanalytic and psychodynamic psychotherapy from Valley Community Counseling Clinic. While at VCCC I worked with a wide breadth of concerns including; anxiety, depression, obsessions/compulsions, anger management, substance use, trauma, disordered eating, grief/loss, relationship concerns, personality disorders, and family conflict. I participated in a process and reading group addressing issues of culture, identity, and intersectionality in psychoanalysis.​ Additionally, I trained at the Family Service Agency of Burbank providing therapy to teens. 

 

Previously I obtained my Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from California Institute of the Arts where I studied studio art and critical studies. I went on to work in the arts in various roles for 10 years before becoming a therapist. I bring an awareness of the creative process and critical thinking to my work as a therapist.​​
