I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology (with a concentration area in diversity) from Phillips Graduate Institute in Encino, California. My masters degree in Psychology was completed at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, CA. I completed my pre-doctoral hours at California State University Northridge University Counseling Services and my post-doctoral hours at The Help Group.
I have considerable experience conducting individual child and adolescent, adult, couples, family and group psychotherapy, whether it involves responding to a crisis or short or long term treatment, with culturally and ethnically diverse populations, in both community-oriented and college/university settings.
