I operate my private practice near Pasadena, where I provide psychotherapy to individuals, couples and families.
I have been involved in the Los Angeles County mental health field since 1999, in acute psychiatric environments since 2004, 7 years at Las Encinas Hospital Pasadena and 7 more at Adventist Health Glendale. This work has included treating patients with a broad spectrum of mental illnesses, from mood disorders to psychosis, active suicidality to chemical dependency and other addictive behaviors just to name a few.
I spent the 5 years previous to my hospital work in community mental health, serving homeless teens in Hollywood, incarcerated adolescents at Central Juvenile Hall & underserved communities thru middle school & in-home therapy in Central & East L.A., where I counseled teens in trouble, young adults, and blended family couples.
