I work with diverse individuals ranging in age from early 20’s to past retirement. While stress is a normal part of life at any age, my clients learn new ways of coping they can apply to the everyday and major life events. Aside from issues related to stress and anxiety, I help clients with depression, gender identity, personal growth and life transitions. Fully bilingual, I’m able to provide these services in English and Spanish.
Sessions are 50-55 minutes through telehealth. Ideally we will meet at the same time every week.
I use CBT to help clients learn new ways of approaching problems and a Client Centered approach to ensure they feel seen and heard while working in partnership towards their therapeutic goals. Fully bilingual, I provide these services in Spanish and English.
I enjoy helping people discover new ways of dealing with problems and realizing how effective they can be in resolving issues. It’s wonderful to be a part of.
I work to develop a partnership where clients are comfortable sharing their troubles and feel supported as they learn to develop the tools to deal with them. The end goal is for clients to leave therapy confident in their ability to meet challenges and live happier, more fulfilling lives.
Though trained as a clinical psychologist, I’ve spent the last 20 plus years working as a communications consultant, talking with diverse groups of people on behalf of a wide range of organizations from movie studios to non-profit groups. It’s been my privilege to be welcomed into people’s homes to learn what they think about profound issues like raising children or caring for disabled family members, to the more mundane like what they watch on TV and why. Along the way, I’ve been able to offer my services as a communications specialist, pro bono to organizations like AIDS Project Los Angeles, the Veterans Administration, the Westside Family Health Center and Transitional Housing Outreach. As dynamic and rewarding as this work is, I wanted to return to my first professional interest – being a therapist. The thru line from my previous career is I continue to work with diverse individuals from different cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders and sexual orientations. Along these lines, I understand the unique concerns of POC (people of color), and the LGBTQ+ communities, including how the different strands of identity interact. Whatever time and energy I have left over after spending time with my 17-year-old son, I enjoy gardening, baking and keeping up with family and friends.
