I have been working in Mental Health for almost a decade, participating in a variety of settings from Hospital Medical Centers to Substance Abuse Treatment Centers.

I received both my Master’s Degree and Doctorate of Clinical-Community Psychology (Psy.D) from the University of La Verne and completed my Internship/Residency at Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Department of Psychology and Behavioral Medicine.

I have taught and supervised graduate psychology students in assessment and advanced therapy skills and provided consultation for multidisciplinary teams of Pediatricians, Substance Abuse Counselors, Psychiatrists, Social Workers, and School Educators. I currently contract with treatment centers to provide psychological evaluations. I have been a part time faculty at Prescott College and am currently an off-campus mentor at Prescott College.

I am a solution-focused psychologist who integrates evidence based practices into the therapy sessions. I use an integrative therapeutic approach, often pulling from humanistic and attachment theories to provide a strengths-based framework that focuses on increasing each individual’s awareness of his or her inner resiliency in overcoming challenges.

I use a variety of techniques in therapy like:

• Dialogue
• Interpretation
• Cognitive reframing
• Self-awareness exercises
• Self-monitoring experiments
• Visualization
• Journal keeping
• Workbooks
• Drawing
• Reading psychologically specific books

With compassion and understanding, I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.
