She provides psychological assessments, parent training, individual and family therapy, and consultation for emotional, behavioral, cognitive, and neurodevelopmental issues.

She creates a warm, structured therapeutic environment where families can better understand their child’s needs, build resilience, and strengthen interpersonal relationships.

Her APA-accredited internship at The Help Group in Sherman Oaks specialized her in neurodevelopmental disabilities (i.e., autism spectrum disorder and ADHD) in outpatient and non-public school settings. She graduated from the Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental and Related Disabilities (LEND) program and is a certified UCLA PEERS® provider, enjoying social skills training and executive functioning support.
