My goal as a licensed psychologist is to help individuals, couples, families, and groups find harmony between what they "think," how they "feel," and what they "do" as they work through multiple life challenges and demands. Since its beginning, the vision of my practice has focused on providing culturally-sensitive mental health services to diverse populations exhibiting a full range of difficulties and psychological disorders. This vision is launched from a cognitive-behavioral framework. My practice reflects the insight offered by Albert Einstein: "We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Hence, for change to happen, "thinking matters."

I am passionate about people. It's what drew me to the field of sexuality & relationships. My goal is to help find your authentic voice in your relationships with yourself and others. As a compassionate and attuned therapist and sex educator, I enjoy working with couples and individuals who are exploring the challenges of desire differences, sexual and gender identity issues, relationship struggles, parenting, panic, anxiety and early attachment experiences, as well as those seeking existential meaning in life and love. I am extremely comfortable working with LGBTQI clients, sex workers, & those in kink & non-monogamous communities.

I studied at UCLA and Pepperdine and worked in UCLA's Marriage Lab studying what makes great marriages. Early on I counseled both elementary school children and homeless schizophrenic people in New York City. I have special training in grief therapy and sex therapy and enjoy working with matters of both loss and sex. I've spent a lot of time working with creative entrepreneurs, couples, and lots and lots of women. If I had to choose a favorite group...I just couldn't. It's all important and fulfilling to me.

Becoming a therapist was my first choice, a passion I discovered during my sophomore year as an undergrad. Of course, it was not my first major, as I thought I would attend medical school. However, due to a car accident, I had to take a break from classes with laboratory courses, which led me to psychology. The best methods to pique anyone's interest are, in my opinion, abnormal psychology and personality psychology; they started my passion for learning more. After earning my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, I applied for my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy with a specialty in Latino Family Studies.
