Hello, I am a licensed clinical psychologist with expertise in substance addiction, trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, work stress, relationship problems, grief and loss, and chronic pain. With an emphasis in connecting to and living from personal values, my approach is highly compassionate, culturally sensitive, strengths-based, and evidenced-based. My treatment specialty includes Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help heal psychological wounds that are blocking you from living an enriched and empowered life.
I have worked at all levels of care for the treatment of substance addictions and mental health problems that include residential, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and currently outpatient. I have published research in the areas of neuropsychological functioning of alcohol addiction and the treatment effectiveness of CBT for depression.
I enjoy working with adolescents and adults and I currently see patients via video telehealth across the State of California. In addition to my clinical practice, I provide clinical supervision services at several treatment centers in San Diego with a primary focus on substance addiction recovery.
