Business Details
Trusted Psychologist Services in Torrance, CA
As a licensed psychologist with over a decade of clinical experience, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals overcome psychological challenges through evidence-based approaches. My journey began with a doctoral degree in psychology, followed by two years of specialized work at a VA hospital in Puerto Rico, where I treated veterans struggling with chronic pain and trauma. This experience led me to pursue advanced training at Stanford University's pain management clinic, where I discovered Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), a transformative approach that has become the foundation of my practice. I have since integrated ISTDP with complementary modalities to address a wide range of psychological conditions, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, and relationship difficulties.My sessions extend beyond traditional 50-minute models, offering 90-minute appointments to facilitate deeper therapeutic breakthroughs. With a focus on dismantling self-sabotaging patterns and resolving repressed emotions, I work collaboratively with clients to achieve lasting psychological transformation. My practice also incorporates mindfulness, biofeedback, and hypnotherapy to enhance treatment outcomes, while I maintain active engagement with research-supported methodologies to ensure the highest standard of care.
