Originally born in Beirut, Lebanon, to Armenian parents. Moved to Kuwait at age two, and attended the American School of Kuwait where I learned how to speak English. At age 16, moved to Michigan, and competed high school. in 1978 attended the University of Michigan, and graduated in 1982. My family had moved to southern California by then, and I moved to California, where I attended graduate school. I completed my masters degree in 1985 at California Graduate Institute. I worked on gathering 3000 hours upon graduation and in 1989, successfully passed the oral exams after the written exams for the licensed marriage and family therapist license. I have worked both in inpatient and outpatient settings, and the last 22 years have been in an outpatient mental health setting. I primarily work with adults with affective and anxiety disorders. I have been trained in EMDR parts 1 and 2, and have been seeing patients using EMDR to qualify for certification.
