Currently I am engaged in a Ph.D. in Depth Psychology with specialization in Somatic Studies. The focus of my academic research is on the somatic lived-experience of engaging with the imaginal realm as ally. My particular interest is to continue exploring and bringing the language of the imagination and the body into the process of psychological self-examination to support and broaden the depth and the breadth of the work.

I have earned a Masters of Arts in Depth Psychology with Specialization in Somatic Studies, and a Masters of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy with specialization in Clinical Art Psychotherapy.

My private practice is in Santa Monica, I also offer telehealth session.
I am also actively engaged at C. G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles where I provide psychotherapy for adults and children at the Kieffer E. Franz Clinic and Hilde Kirsch Children’s Center.
