- Psychologist
I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients. My approach is warm, empathic and unique to each client's needs. I have a strong background in cognitive behavioral therapy, assessment, positive psychology, mindfulness and meditation and I believe in a holistic approach to promote health and wellness. I try to help clients identify, clarify and prioritize goals and enjoy working with individuals to build pathways toward positive change. It would be an honor to learn more about you, to see if I would be a good fit for your therapy needs.
We can work together to increase your sense of well-being and overall quality of life. In addition to psychotherapy, I offer comprehensive assessment of attention, learning and processing issues as well as the UCLA Longevity Center's Brain Bootcamp Program.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
