I'm a Licensed Psychologist based in California. I received a Master’s degree from the University of Southern California (USC) and my doctorate from Alliant University. I have a specialty in forensic psychology and have been practicing for 5 years in the field. I help young adults and adults struggling with life transitions, grief, psychosis, criminal behavior, interpersonal concerns and relationship concerns.
Our first session will consist of introductions, reviewing consents, discussion around treatment, what treatment will look like, reasons for therapy, and deciding if we are a good fit to work together. I do believe the best therapy happens when the Client and Therapist can connect and build an alliance together. Clients have the option to decide if the Therapist is a good fit for them.
My greatest strength is the reflective and introspective work I provide that guide and motivate the patient to see the changes they desire in their personal life.
