ABOUT ME

Pronouns: She/Her

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and graduated from Pepperdine University in 2012 with a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy. My undergraduate degree was obtained at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I am a clinician, consultant, and educator specializing in the area of trauma and dissociation.
 
In my career, I have worked extensively with trauma and its sequelae in a variety of populations. I am currently in private practice and provide in-person services in Mountain View, CA, and virtual therapy to people residing throughout California, Nevada, and Utah. I have worked at the Meadows IOP Treatment Center in Silicon Valley, providing EMDR therapy and trauma therapy, and at The Camden Center IOP/PHP as an EMDR Therapist. Prior to this, I was with Para Los Niños in Los Angeles for six and a half years working with underserved children and their families. At Para Los Niños, in addition to providing extensive clinical work in the community, I supervised clinicians and developed a trauma training program to educate the clinical staff in trauma-competent care. I also provided a variety of trainings to parents and teachers on trauma and related topics, and assisted Para Los Niños charter schools with the implementation of trauma-informed practices in the classroom. Though I worked with children and adolescents of all ages, my clinical specialty was the birth-to-five population, and the treatment of trauma and attachment disorders with Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP).
