With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, my work as a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Associate Professor at Pepperdine University encompasses a deep commitment to understanding and addressing multicultural issues within clinical service delivery. At the core of my service lies a passion for cognitive-behavioral therapy and evidence-based practice.In my dual role, I have had the privilege of guiding future psychologists as they develop their clinical and academic skills while maintaining a private practice. Engaging in teaching, scholarship, and clinical practice enables me to contribute to the field of psychology with both theoretical knowledge and practical applications.
