Psychotherapy is my second career.
Before entering the field of psychology, I spent 12 years in consulting and technology management in the entertainment industry after earning my undergraduate degree from New York University. Despite professional success, I began questioning my direction and felt drawn toward more meaningful, relational work. Psychotherapy had been a source of clarity and healing in my own life, and that experience ultimately led me to pursue this profession.
I earned my master’s degree in clinical psychology from Antioch University in 2011. My training includes psychodynamic psychotherapy, various trauma-focused treatments, and extensive work in couples and sex therapy. I’m a Level 1 trained IFS therapist (IFS Institute), a certified EMDR therapist (EMDRIA) and a certified Couples and Sex Therapist (AACAST). Also, I serve as Co-Director, lecturer and clinical supervisor for the AACAST Training Program that proves Couples and Sex Therapy training to the residents of the departments of Adult Psychiatry at UCLA and USC.
My approach is psychodynamic, relational, and informed by Internal Family Systems and Right-Brain Psychotherapy. I am direct without being harsh, steady without being passive, and collaborative throughout the process. Therapy with me is warm, structured, thoughtful, and focused on helping you develop greater insight, resilience, and authenticity in life and your relationships.
It is a privilege to do this work.
