Hi and thanks for reaching out. It takes courage to click on a therapist's profile and I am excited for you that you did just that. We all need help from time to time and asking for it is so important. Maybe you are feeling anxious or depressed. Maybe life after COVID is harder than you expected. Or, maybe you have some issues that have dogged you your whole life and you are fed up with them. Whatever is going on for you right now, having a trusted sounding board, someone to listen to you and help you figure things out is a great idea. I’d like to be that person for you. So, who am I?
I am a psychologist, professor and (would you believe?) former practicing attorney. I have decades of experience helping people figure out what's wrong and how to get better using Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, and I am currently accepting new clients within the State of California for online individual and group therapy.
I am happy to offer you a free initial consultation. At that time, we would get to know each other and together we would decide if I am the right person to help you, and if I am not, I will do my best to point you in the direction of someone who could. If you are interested, please let me know. I am hope to meet you soon.
