I’m a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Malibu, Oak Park, etc. Prior to my graduate work in clinical psychology I attended the University of California Los Angeles, where I completed my BA in psychology and worked in research involving health psychology. I received my MA degree in Clinical Psychology with Emphasis on Marriage and Family therapy from Pepperdine University. I have been practicing since 2006. I am dedicated to providing high quality services to my clients, and therefore I consistently continue with my education. Besides my regular individual and group therapy, I’m an EAGALA certified therapist practicing equine assisted therapy. I’m currently training in Somatosensory Psychology that enables me to help with emotional regulation through somatic processing in addition to cognitive and emotional processing. Adding practices that would help people be in touch with their bodily sensations and impulses in the present moment to regular talk therapy can significantly help with regulating emotions.I am also trained in providing Discernment Counseling meant to help couples on the brink of divorce. As none of us got married expecting to get divorced, we may be stuck in a marriage that doesn’t work, but are unable to move on. This service helps a couple figure out what led to the marital dysfunction while helping them determine how they want to proceed with their marriage.
