Healing, Empowerment, Inspiration, Transformation

Congratulations for considering counseling as a possible way to grow, change, and heal. I encourage you to never settle. An emotionally balanced and fulfilling life is possible. It is important for you to find a counselor or psychologist who helps you create an environment of honesty, safety, and motivation. It is possible for you to grow. It will take time, effort, and a willing heart. I encourage you, whether it is by working with me or someone else, to get the support you need and deserve to create a life of peace and joy.

I am a Licensed Psychologist (PSY 20714) who provides individual, couples, family, and group therapy in the Los Angeles area. I provide my services to children, adolescents, and adults. I use an integrative approach to counseling that combines cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented approaches.
