I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY26514). At my private practice offices I provide counseling, psychotherapy and psychological assessments to the Irvine/Newport Beach and West Los Angeles communities. In addition, provide supervision to counselors, doctoral students in training, and psychologists who are expanding their assessment and testing skillset. I also provide psychoeducational talks on various topics and participate in pharmaceutical studies aimed at finding a cure for Alzheimer’s Disease.

For several years, I held a core faculty position at American School of Professional Psychology (ASPP) at Argosy University in Orange, an APA accredited doctoral program in Clinical Psychology. At ASPP I  taught Cognitive and Personality Assessment courses, led therapy seminars, chaired clinical research projects,  and served as the primary assessment supervisor at the on-site university clinic.

I completed my undergraduate studies at UCLA where I received my B.A. in Psychology with a Minor in Cultural Anthropology. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from ASPP, and completed a formal post-doc at Wright Institute Los Angeles where I received specialized training and a Certificate in Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. I have been fortunate to have received excellent clinical training working with adults, couples, children, and adolescents in many different settings, including: outpatient & community clinics, residential care facilities, grade & middle schools, universities, and correctional facilities.
