I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT 101315). I received my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from University of Southern California (USC) Rossier, School of Education. Along with private practice, I have experience working in a community-based mental health agency across Los Angeles county.

​

I am trained in research and evidence-based practices which I describe further here. My therapy treatment is influenced by a systemic view, addressing the interactional sequence that occurs around an identified issue. I also consider how early events and relationships have shaped the present day. My treatment background focuses on understanding diversity issues and unraveling cultural stigma.

 

I believe strategies for change comes from the willingness to explore alternative thoughts and behaviors in a judgment-free environment.
