Specialties

History

Established in 2006.

With eight years of experience, including 3,000 hours as a postgraduate MFT Intern, and now as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in my own practice, I have worked with a broad spectrum of clients including adults with severe and persistent mental illness, children in the Autistic Spectrum and Infants & Children with developmental delays.

During my internships with the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health, part of the experience I acquired was working in the unification process of families with the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services.

With my practical experience, knowledge, and expertise, I evaluate the therapeutical needs of my clients and apply the psychotherapeutic theories that best fit my clients needs.
