I graduated magna cum laude from the University of California at Santa Barbara with my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I soon went on to receive both my Master’s and Doctorate degrees in Clinical Psychology with an emphasis in Health Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University in Los Angeles. I continued onto advanced, post-doctoral training and completed my fellowship in Health Psychology at the California Pacific Medical Center in San Francisco. After my fellowship, I accepted a position at a functional restoration program (FRP) for chronic pain. Being a Southern California native, I decided to return home, and moved back to the area in 2012. At that time I began working with Kaiser Permanente, where I worked as a pain psychologist in the pain management department from 2012 to 2018.

I am currently in private practice in West Los Angeles.
