About My Clients

I have an expertise and passion for working with adults with ADHD, Anxiety disorders, Clinical Depressive Disorders, Trauma-focused/PTSD, relationship/interpersonal problems, attachment styles, life transitions, stress management, grief, LGBTQ+ issues, marginalized groups, chronic health conditions, psych-oncology, perfectionism, and self-esteem. I am dedicated to empowering my clients to share their stories within a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, seen, and validated.

My Background and Approach

I received my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from the University of California, Riverside, and my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy from the Argosy University, San Francisco Campus. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology degree with emphasis in Primary Care Psychology from the Adler University in Chicago, IL. I completed my APA accredited pre-doctoral internship at Louis Stokes Cleveland Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Ohio, and my postdoctoral fellowship in health psychology from Miami Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Miami, Florida. I went on to continue working for Department of Veterans Health Administration as a staff psychologist until September 2024. My approach incorporates psychoeducation, practical tools, and skills to enhance neuroplasticity, enabling clients to reshape maladaptive beliefs and subconscious patterns.
