I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Registered Art Therapist.  Having received my BA in History and Art History from UCLA, I worked in the corporate world for nearly 20 years before changing careers and earning my MA in Psychology with a specialization in Art Therapy.  Prior to starting my own private practice, I worked as a school counselor and as a psychotherapist in a community counseling center.  I have also been an adjunct faculty member in the Art Therapy program at Phillips Graduate Institute teaching grad students about client treatment, trauma-informed therapy, and research writing.
