I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment where together we can work to increase awareness and better understand patterns, themes, thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are causing distress.

Anxiety and doubt has been running your life for quite a while. Whether it is your own anxiety or the anxiety of your child, it feels like there is almost never a moment that is free from worry.

Embarking on a transformative path towards self-discovery, the individuals I work with are ready to navigate the complexities of their identity and experiences.

Their ultimate goal is to achieve a harmonious balance, where growth and well-being align, leading to meaningful change.

I am a licensed doctor of clinical psychology (Ph.D. from USC), working in SCV for over 30 years. I love people and it has always been my dream to help them achieve the ability to handle their lives in the most satisfying way. We are all human. We all have our own struggles. We experience depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addictions, or simply difficult transitions in life. It is important to know that no one is forever "sick," no relationship ever "broken," or anyone for that matter who is beyond repair. Together, I will work with you (or your loved one) through the issues that have brought you into therapy.

Waitlist for in person session. Working through difficult times makes us, and our relationships, stronger. Making the decision to begin therapy isn't always easy, but sometimes it's just what you need to get your life back on track. Despite the stereotype of a therapist being someone who will, "tell you what to do," my role is to listen and help you toward hearing your own answers. It can offer you insight and perspective so you can achieve what you are striving for in your life. Together, we can explore what is getting in the way of you living a happier life.

I pride myself on creating a safe and supportive space to work collaboratively with my clients to overcome complex traumas, relational stressors, and barriers to their happiness and satisfaction with life.

The challenges of everyday life can sometimes be overwhelming. Achieving a balance between relationships, career, and daily responsibilities while still caring for your personal and emotional health needs can be difficult. It is possible to live a fulfilling and joyful life even if you don't feel at your best right now. If you've been struggling with life stressors or relationships, counseling can provide an outlet to talk about those concerns, learn new coping skills, and get a handle on any emotions that are weighing you down.
