Welcome.  

As a graduate of Loyola Marymount University's Master of Arts program in Marital and Family Therapy with Specialization in Clinical Art Therapy, I have over 10 years of experience in the field. I am a Board Certified Art Therapist and Art Therapy Credentialed Supervisor (ATR-BC, ATCS #14-240) with the Art Therapy Credentials Board and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT#91339) with the CA Board of Behavioral Sciences.  I also have a M.A. in Developmental and Educational Psychology.  It is my teaching experience in special education that helps me make the most of individual strengths and learning styles to find an effective approach to support professional development.

In my clinical experience in school-based mental health  I worked with a team to develop and implement an associates training program at Cedars-Sinai for AMFTs , ASWs, and LPCCs acquiring hours of experience towards licensure and/or art therapy registration. I am a part-time faculty member at Loyola Marymount University providing art therapy supervision to graduate students as well as a member of the Active Cultural Explorations Committee (ACE) that advises the department of Marital and Family Therapy on cultural considerations in education and community outreach, and provides professional development to alumni on cultural awareness.
