Portrait Health Centers
Portrait Health Centers are multi-specialty clinics that employ the most cutting-edge and proven assessment protocols and treatment options available, believing that an Effective Treatment Depends On An Accurate Diagnosis. Individuals should not have to “play doctor” by researching available treatments and then self-selecting which of these treatments has been scientifically validated and would be most appropriate for themselves or their family. At Portrait Health Centers, we provide a comprehensive and multi-specialty assessment to determine the underlying causes of your symptoms and incorporate an appropriate treatment plan.

Everyone has a story, and therapy provides a safe place to form a relationship where the client is able to share his/her experiences and concerns with the therapist. I enjoy facilitating change and relieving emotional distress in order to restore the client’s ability to function in daily activities and to improve his/her relationships. I help facilitate change using a wide variety of therapeutic techniques which include family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered therapy, and mindfulness coupled with an empathetic, nonjudgmental and easy-going personality.
I received my Master’s Degree in Psychology from Chapman University and my Bachelor’s Degree from California Polytechnic University Pomona. I have experience working with clients of various ages and cultural backgrounds. My personal experience is diverse. I worked for a non-profit organization for thirteen years attending to the chronically mentally ill while consulting with the on-staff psychiatrist to provide comprehensive care.
I enjoy spending time with my family, friends and our cat. I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, and working out. I like movies and especially enjoy comedies which can be a great stress reducer. I have been able to travel over seas and hope to revisit Italy and Germany in the future.
