I am a licensed doctor of clinical psychology (Ph.D. from USC), working in SCV for over 30 years.

We experience depression, anxiety, relationship issues, addictions, or simply difficult transitions in life. It is important to know that no one is forever "sick," no relationship ever "broken," or anyone for that matter who is beyond repair. Together, I will work with you (or your loved one) through the issues that have brought you into therapy.

I work with children, adolescents, and adult clients in individual and family therapy.  My sincere desire is to establish a safe place where individuals can learn how to overcome their existing limitations with a positive experience and outlook on therapy and being able to reestablish themselves.

Therapy provides a safe space for people to be themselves without judgment and discuss the taboo topics that they not be able to in other environments.
