Hello! I'm a clinical psychologist licensed in California, and I've enjoyed working with adults in various settings, including private practice, community centers, and hospitals. I’m experienced in individual, couples, and group therapy, as well as in conducting psychological and neuropsychological assessments. I’ve had the opportunity to work extensively with the impact of trauma, depression, anxiety, as well with problems related to anger and shame. I have addressed issues like chronic pain, substance abuse, and the difficulties in relationships. I also love guiding people of all ages as they navigate through important life and career changes. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which are effective techniques for healing trauma and managing overwhelming emotions.. My training in Neuropsychology and cognitive rehabilitation is especially helpful in my work with individuals recovering from Traumatic Brain Injuries, assisting them as they cope with emotional challenges, memory and concentration issues.

Before becoming a psychologist, I wore many hats: I was a teacher, a career coach, a scientist, and a project manager. I am firsthand familiar with the challenges of the corporate world, allowing me to truly connect with and better understand the struggles my clients face. I lived in different countries and traveled around the world which helped me develop great appreciation for diversity and cultural differences.
