Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in Southern California. I received my Doctor of Psychology degree at the California School of Professional Psychology and have been practicing for 4 years. I strive to help adults across the lifespan address psychological concerns in a person-centered, holistic manner that incorporates all unique factors of one’s experience, including health, culture, and identity.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During our first 1-2 sessions we will spend some time getting to know one another. I may ask you to tell me about your history and any thoughts/feelings that have brought you to therapy. We may also begin to explore general goals to work towards during our time together.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have worked in many settings (i.e., Community Mental Health, Medical Center, Inpatient) that have allowed for the development of a variety of techniques that can help with a range a psychological symptoms. My approach to mental health is rooted in empathy and empowerment, allowing clients the space to explore and practice skills that provide long term relief.

My treatment methods

Integrative

I utilize an integrative, person-centered approach that draws from multiple evidence-based treatments and practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I also apply motivational and solution-focused principles, and have received specialized training in Mindfulness. My area of speciality is Health Psychology, which aids in addressing psychological factors associated with health and illness.
