About Me

I earned my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles and have two years of postgraduate training from LAISPS (the Los Angeles Institute and Society for Psychoanalytic Studies) in psychoanalytic psychotherapy, addiction, personality disorders and eating disorders.  I am also trained in Exposure Response Prevention (ERP).

I have a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, with a minor in Spanish and Portuguese, from Pitzer College. Prior to my work as a therapist, I spent 15+ years in the coffee and wine industries, building relationships with producers across Latin America and Spain, crafting my own wines, and writing about wine production.  In addition to private practice, I have experience in community clinics, intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP) treatment settings. I am supervised by Steven Isaacman, PsyD, FIPA.
