My Qualifications
Educational Background
FIGHT ON!
I received my bachelor's degree from the University of Southern California and my doctorate degree in clinical psychology from the American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University. This program is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA), which ensures that the training program meets APA's strict academic requirements and is approved by the Board of Psychology in the state of California.
Previous Work Experience
FROM PRIVATE PRACTICE TO INPATIENT PSYCHIATRIC SETTINGS
I previously worked in a range of settings including child and family clinics, an inpatient psychiatric facility, and private practice organizations. Well known organizations that I have worked for include Child Guidance Center, Western Youth Services, and Santa Ana College.
My professional experience allows me to collaborate effectively with teachers, school psychologists, psychiatrists, and more in order to advocate for my clients' unique needs.
Currently, I strive to provide quality care to children, adolescents, adults, and families in my private practice where I can maintain a focused caseload in order to ensure the best quality care.
Certifications and Creative Venues
EVIDENCED BASED PRACTICES WITH A UNIQUE CREATIVE TOUCH
I am certified in evidenced based practices to help individuals and families such as Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT). I previously researched art approaches used in therapy and often integrate creative expression in my evidenced based practices. For those that would benefit from these unique alternatives, I encourage the use of drawing, sports, and music, which can make therapy fun, exciting, or more interesting than traditional talk therapy.
Additionally I am open to integrating other interests into therapy so that therapy is interesting, motivating, and fulfilling for each individual.
