What would your life look like with less anxiety, healthier relationships, more productivity, improved self-esteem and better personal effectiveness? I believe we are wired to want these things; but sometimes don’t have the tools to achieve them. We can’t change the past, but we can understand what is at the root of present-day challenges and move on from them. Additionally, I provide tools and effective communication strategies to help propel you forward toward your goals and dreams Clients sometimes say, “I wish I’d tried therapy a long time ago”. You are ready when you are ready. It’s never too late for positive self-growth!

I truly value my connection with people, making every effort to understand their needs. As a clinical psychologist, practicing in the South Bay for the past 20+ years, my focus has included comprehensive neuropsychological assessments of children and adults, as well as individual therapy using expressive arts and cognitive behavioral interventions. Whether it is in the context of an evaluation, consultation, or individual therapy, my goal in working together is to discover new ways of overcoming challenges and to bring about a more balanced, mindful way of living.

One of the most important aspects in therapy is for patients to feel heard, respected, and understood. Given that each individual is unique, and no one issue is ever the same among different people, our approach is integrative and tailored to meet the needs of the person, not the "problem". we strive to create a compassionate, non-judgemental environment for patients to learn, grow, explore, challenge, and to live the life they want to be living. We specialize in working with adults - individual, couples, and family - with anxiety, depression, PTSD/trauma, relationship problems, substance abuse, ADD/ADHD, and LGBTQ issues.
