Psychology Services and Therapy in Los Angeles
Life in Los Angeles presents a unique set of challenges, ranging from high-stakes professional burnout to complex family dynamics. With over 22 years of clinical experience, I provide an engaged, direct, and human approach to therapy that moves beyond passive listening to help you create tangible change in your life and relationships. I do individual therapy, couples therapy and family therapy.
My background and education
My clinical work is grounded in elite academic training and over two decades of hands-on experience. I earned my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) and a Master’s in Clinical Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology (CSPP) in Los Angeles. Additionally, I hold a specialized Master’s in Child, Adolescent, and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC). This dual expertise allows me to navigate the complexities of individual mental health while understanding the systemic layers of family and relationship dynamics.
