I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with a private practice based out of Orange County. Originally from Manhattan Beach, California, I received my bachelor’s degree from UCLA and went on to receive my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology at California School of Professional Psychology in Los Angeles, California.

I am deeply interested in practicing and studying mindfulness and optimal functioning, which I often incorporate into my professional practice. Resilience, the ability to bounce back, I believe, is the most important ingredient to life. Life inevitably delivers adversity, yet it is how we respond to those hardships that influence the direction of our lives. Understanding how to adapt my mindset in the midst of difficult periods is what drew me into the practice of psychology. It’s for this reason that I am passionate about helping others through life’s tough transitions. I believe we are all capable of living the life we imagined, sometimes you just need a guide to show you the path through the woods.

I currently live in Orange County with my husband, son, and two tiny dogs, Tiger and Leo. In my free time, I enjoy taking walks in nature (just not too far from comforts), eating my way through ethnic cuisine, cooking an elaborate meal, and chasing after my rambunctious toddler.
