I have been in practice as a licensed psychologist for over twenty years in California. My areas of expertise include depression and anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, addiction and recovery, stress and anger management,, work-related and life-transition issues,, physical health and chronic illness.
My treatment approach is predominately cognitive-behavioral, directive and solution-focused. My working style is also informed by Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Person-Centered treatment approaches. My clients are the primary experts concerning their goals, values and needs.
My offices are in the Mission Valley area in San Diego, and in La Jolla, near UTC, UCSD and La Jolla Village. I am on several major insurance network panels for clients using insurance.
