I received my professional education from the University of New Orleans, Louisiana (B.A. & Masters) and Doctor of Psychology from California Graduate Institute of The Chicago School of Psychology in West Los Angeles. I have been in private practice since 2010 but I have over twenty five years of experience in various mental health settings. I successfully completed a post-doctoral fellowship in psychological testing/assessment at Child & Family Center. I am also trained in assessment and treatment of perpetrators and victims of violent crimes. I am trained in working with domestic abuse victims and my doctoral disseration focused on cultural aspects of domestic abuse. I have vast experience is working with victims of child abuse and neglect. I received formal training in providing services to victims of sexual assault (rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse) at Valley Trauma Center and Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services. I mainly use cognitive behavioral therapy (or cognitive behavioral therapies or CBT) which is a psychotherapeutic approach that aims to solve problems concerning dysfunctional emotions, behaviors and cognitions through a goal-oriented, systematic procedure.
