I specialize in helping people cope with cancer and other medical conditions. As a UCLA-trained clinical health psychologist, I help people navigate the challenges that often accompany medical problems, including anxiety, depression, uncertainty about the future, changes in relationships and life roles, loss of meaning and purpose, and distressing physical changes and side effects. I also have advanced training in stress management, chronic pain management, cancer survivorship concerns, and insomnia.
I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Meaning-Centered Psychotherapy (MCP), and mindfulness-based approaches to directly target your most distressing symptoms and improve your well-being. In our work together, you will develop a practical and effective toolkit for coping with your most pressing challenges.
I provide a supportive, warm, and non-judgmental space for clients to forge personal growth, gain insight, and make meaningful progress toward their goals. Reach out to me by phone or email so we can schedule a 15-minute phone consultation free of charge.
