I am deeply committed to helping people create the most fulfilling lives possible, as they move through and beyond challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, work/life balance, grief reactions, as well as relationship and self-esteem issues. When life has thrown you off your path, I work with you to restore your natural capacity for self compassion and healing, and provide unwavering emotional support as you create a thriving life with healthier relationships.
I practice individual and family therapy with adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, panic disorders, grief issues, trauma, and parenting, school, and relationship issues. I teach coping skills, self-compassion skills, relaxation training, and mindfulness training. I utilize psychological testing to enhance self-understanding.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist who has been in private practice in Whittier, CA since 1991. I received my B.A. in philosophy from Northwestern University in Chicago, and my Ph.D. in psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology. I am a published author and a Qualified Medical Evaluator.
