I received my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology (with a concentration area in diversity) in May 2006 at Phillips Graduate Institute in Encino, California. My masters degree in Psychology was completed at Pepperdine University in Los Angeles, CA in August 2002. 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. My earlier counseling positions included conducting group therapy with sex offenders at The Pacific Clinics in Van Nuys, CA; providing individual adult and child therapy, and family therapy at the California Family Counseling Center in Encino, CA; providing therapy for children with developmental delays and disabilities at the Child Development Institute in Woodland Hills, CA; therapy with adults and older adults who were experiencing chronic mental and physical disabilities at San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health in Van Nuys, CA; and therapy with children and their families who are severely emotionally disturbed at The Help Group in Van Nuys, CA.
In addition, I co-hosted a weekly radio program in Los Angeles called Full Circle on KCSN/88.5 FM for four years. I have also taught multiculturalism in a marriage and family therapy Master's degree program in Pasadena, CA. and currently teach Sociology courses at Pierce College.
