About
<p>Hello! I have been a practicing Marriage and Family Therapist since 2001. In 2005, I was trained by Postpartum Support International (PSI), and have specialized in the treatment of Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders since that time. For the past three years, I have seen a variety of people with various presentations, and I enjoy this very much!</p> <p></p> <p>I served as PSI’s Orange County Coordinator, offering support and connecting women to community resources, from 2005-2017. In addition to my work in private practice, I taught LMFT students at the undergraduate and graduate level for 10 years, and became certified in Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in 2015. In 2017 I helped develop Hoag Hospital’s Maternal Mental Health program, where I served as lead therapist, and was trained by the Beck Institute in 2018 in the treatment of anxiety disorders. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction techniques with my clients- which have shown to be evidence based treatments for a variety of mental health disorders.</p>
