Your Trusted Mental Health Therapist in West Los Angeles
As a licensed clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience, I specialize in relational psychodynamic psychotherapy, helping clients achieve emotional awareness and psychological growth. My practice focuses on understanding how past and present relationships shape self-perception and interpersonal dynamics, offering tailored insights to foster confidence and self-acceptance. I work with diverse populations, including LGBTQIA+ individuals and those navigating complex trauma, addiction, and relationship challenges. My approach emphasizes honesty, vulnerability, and the integration of mindfulness and neuroscience into psychodynamic frameworks. With a foundation in intersubjective and process-oriented techniques, I support clients in managing strong emotions, improving communication, and cultivating meaningful connections.

My clinical training spans community mental health, assisted living facilities, and specialized programs for sexual minorities. I hold a doctorate in clinical psychology from the California Institute of Integral Studies and am licensed by the California Board of Psychology. Continuous education remains a priority, including advanced studies in couples therapy and psychedelic integration. I offer individual and relationship psychotherapy, alongside consultations for clinicians working with sexual minority clients. My practice, rooted in cultural competency and ethical care, aims to provide a safe space for clients to explore their unique journeys toward healing.
