I trained in child and adolescent psychotherapy at Santa Anita Family Service. I obtained further training at BHC Alhambra Hospital in the assessment and referral department as well as case management where I advanced in risk assessment skills with suicidal patients diagnosed with various psychotic and depressive disorders. I continued my professional development at the Wright Institute of Los Angeles, specifically at the Hedda Bolgar Psychotherapy Clinic where I conducted psychotherapy with adults while gaining specialized study in psychoanalysis. I spent two years at La Vie Counseling Center where I received additional exposure and skills in psychodynamic and psychoanalytic therapy as well as integrated Christian counseling. Upon licensure I completed special training in perinatal mental health from Postpartum Support International, and successfully treat woman and families with pre and post partum mood and anxiety disorders. I also continue to train and practice using depth oriented theories and techniques inspired by Carl Jung. We have the luxury of doing sand tray therapy on kids and adults which aids in accessing unconscious material using 3d symbols in a sacred space with real and therapeutic sand. We also train clients to foster a relationship with their psyche by honoring the important messages and wisdom hidden in their dreams that are demystified by writing down the dream material and with our help decoding their meaning.
