I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, 

   with a dual concentration in Adult Psychotherapy and Health Psychology.

  My Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, combined with my

  doctoral concentration in the Adult population, provided me with the foundation

  to work with teens, young adults, older adults, couples, and families. 

 

   I have over 10 years of experience working and training in a variety of settings

   including inpatient psychiatric units, child and adolescent inpatient units and

   outpatient care, school-based therapeutic interventions,  community mental

   health centers, and substance abuse treatment clinics. I have provided

   comprehensive psychological assessments in both inpatient and outpatient

   settings for adolescents and adults; additionally, I completed two years of

   training in administering cross-cultural neuropsychological assessments for

   refugees seeking asylum in the greater Seattle area.  

   I have experience working with depression, anxiety, addiction,chronic health

   challenges, grief and loss, mood and behavior concerns, trauma, PTSD, life

   transitions, and relationship conflict. I have worked with issues around cultural

   identity and have an understanding of the continuously varying perception of 

  therapeutic practices and healing, across cultures and age groups. I always look

  to you, the expert in your life, to guide me in understanding your experiences and your

  understanding of the world. 

   I use an integrative approach to psychotherapy and believe strongly in tailoring therapy

   to an individual’s unique needs within a confidential and supportive environment. 

  My approach is informed by Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, with the integration of

  evidenced-based strategies that are solution-focused and goal-driven. My work is further

  influenced by Family Systems Theory, particularly when working with couples and families.
