MY BACKGROUND

I received my Bachelor of the Arts (B.A.) degree in Psychology at Boston University. I subsequently received my Master's (M.A.) and Doctorate (Psy.D.) degrees in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Los Angeles, which is accredited by the American Psychological Association (APA). I am currently a psychoanalytic candidate at the New Center for Psychoanalysis (NCP) in Los Angeles.

​

I completed an APA-Accredited pre-doctoral Health Psychology internship at the Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in Little Rock, Arkansas. I completed my APA-Accredited postdoctoral fellowship in Health Psychology at the Veteran’s Affairs Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. In these settings I provided individual psychotherapy, group therapy, shared medical appointments, and neuropsychological assessments. Prior to my internship and fellowship training I worked with children and adolescents in schools addressing bullying and adjustment to life stressors. I also worked at Kaiser Permanente where I assessed children for Autism Spectrum Disorder and led a social skills training group for children and adolescents on the Autism Spectrum. 

 

My diverse experiences have led me to specialize in working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of presenting problems including depression, anxiety, adjustment to life transitions, relationship challenges, health challenges, and trauma recovery.
