Hello, I am a California Licensed Clinical Psychologist in a private practice, working via telehealth and in-person. I have extensive training in Psychodynamic modality with passion and interest in serving patients who are struggling with addiction, personality disorder, and mood disorders. I am also trained in Ketamine Assisted Therapy (KAP).
Together we establish an alliance to create a safe environment for you to delve deep into the challenges and struggles you are facing in life. If we are the right fit, we will enter the journey into a deeper knowledge of self that leads to a more vibrant life.
My style is grounded in empathy, listening, and compassion, with a dash of humor central to building a trusting alliance.
I believe that we all have the potential to heal from early wounds, repressed emotions, and adverse experiences that advance the possibility of a conscious and vibrant life. My philosophy is to assist my patients in breaking free from stuck pain, guilt, and shame. I firmly believe that we all should thrive and not merely survive as individuals.
My practice modality is the psychoanalytic approach, which is central to trauma and the impact of early childhood on adult life. By focusing on unconscious processes manifesting in the client's present behavior, I have helped many clients to be more self-awareness and understanding of the influence of the past on current behavior which results in a more fulfilling and satisfying life.
