Get in Touch

Welcome

Hello! I am a licensed psychologist based in Los Angeles, California. I also offer telehealth appointments to clients throughout the states of California, New York and New Jersey. 


I enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life. Whether you're feeling stuck in a repetitive pattern that is hindering you from reaching your full potential or are experiencing debilitating symptoms that are impacting your day-to-day functioning, I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment that fosters change and growth. My style is supportive, yet active; I also utilize humor when appropriate. Together we will work toward defining and achieving your treatment goals.


It is important to find a therapist who is a good fit for you; therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Please take some time to explore my website and learn more about my services. I look forward to working with you

Therapeutic Approach

Eclectic: CBT, DBT, IPT, and EFT

Please note that this does not mean I use all interventions with every client. During our first few sessions, we will identify your reasons for commencing therapy and develop a treatment plan. Interventions will be selected based on your individual needs and goals.


Services

Therapy

Many people fear the unknown, which may be why engaging in therapy for the first time is difficult to initiate. I provide an informed and confidential environment during your initial session (and throughout treatment). During your first session, we will review my office policies, privacy practices, and your reason(s) for initiating therapy. From there, we will identify your goals and work toward achieving them over time.  Each session is 50 minutes in length and typically scheduled once per week. The overall duration of therapy varies for each individual depending on his/her/their needs. I've worked with individuals who were experiencing interpersonal issues, anxiety, depression or persistent illness, such as schizophrenia. I utilize empirically-validated treatments and am cognizant of individual needs and tailor my treatment to each client.


I encourage you to research and consult with several psychologists or therapists to determine whom you feel most comfortable with as research has shown that the therapeutic relationship is a crucial component of therapy.

In short, this means that you meet criteria for a mental health diagnosis and it impairs your current functioning.  If met, therapy is typically reimbursable with most PPO plans. I can provide you with a receipt for the services that have been rendered for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.
