Welcome! If you are looking for a therapist that is easy to talk to, makes you feel at ease, and has over 17 years of experience and expertise.... you found one! Seeking out a therapist is not a sign of weakness, it indicates that you have been dealing with stressors and/or losses, that have become too much for you to manage on your own. I love what I do because I am able to see my clients transform and grow through the therapy process. Whatever you are going through, I can help you regain your emotional and mental well-being. I obtained my master's from the University of Southern California (USC). I specialize in treating anxiety and panic attacks. I know how painful and scary severe anxiety can be, as I have experienced it myself. Allow me to help you with my expertise and experience to recover and regain your emotional well-being!
In our first session we will review what symptoms are most troubling to you and narrow down your goals for therapy. We will focus on symptom reduction, by discussing practical interventions to help you start feeling better as soon as possible.
I feel what sets me apart and makes me a very good therapist is that I am my "real" self with my clients. I let my personality come through. I also have been a client myself and understand what it is like to put myself out there, and what the therapy process is all about.
Most of my clients are high functioning, intelligent individuals, who are struggling with life's stressors. They are often overwhelmed, and benefit from the support and guidance I provide. Most of my clients are shorter term clients, who work with me for several months. I do have a few clients that prefer, longer term sessions for maintenance and/or exploring deeper issues.

Psychodynamic therapy can help you understand how your past experiences influence your current beliefs and behaviors. Having this insight is the first step for making positive changes in your life.
