I genuinely enjoy my work as a clinical psychologist & professor. It allows me to think carefully, creatively, and pragmatically about the challenges people face. Many folks I work with are navigating anxiety, burnout, and uncertainty tied to work, identity, and keeping pace with modern life. With shifting job markets, increased surveillance, and constant pressure to be productive & achieving, it makes sense that many people feel stretched thin or stuck. Therapy can offer a place to slow things down, think clearly, and regain a sense of direction.
I provide in-person therapy in Los Angeles and throughout California via telehealth. Over the years, I have found that a structured, time-limited approach works best for many people. I typically work in 12-session chapters, which helps clients stay focused, build momentum, and fit therapy into demanding schedules without feeling open-ended or overwhelming.
If you’ve been feeling burnt out, anxious, depressed, unsure how to move forward, or like past traumas are resurfacing, therapy may help you get grounded and regain clarity. To see whether my approach is the right fit for you, request your free consultation with me to get started.

Over the years, and supported by the research, I've found that the specific theoretical model matters far less than the quality of the working relationship. Therapy works best when you feel understood, respected, and able to speak openly without feeling managed or judged. My approach emphasizes this.
