Your Trusted Clinical Psychologist in Los Angeles
As a licensed clinical psychologist in California, I bring over a decade of specialized experience in psychotherapy for children, adolescents, and adults. My practice integrates advanced academic training from The Graduate Center for Child Development and Psychotherapy at Reiss-Davis Child Study Center, where I completed my PhD in Clinical Child Psychology in 2015. With a post-doctoral fellowship at Vista del Mar in Los Angeles, I developed expertise in addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, and complex behavioral challenges through psychodynamic approaches. My work emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for growth, combining evidence-based practices with personalized care.I collaborate closely with clients and families to create tailored treatment plans that foster emotional resilience and lasting change. My academic contributions include research on intrusive imagery in depression, published through my 2015 dissertation. As a member of leading professional organizations like the American Psychological Association, I maintain rigorous ethical standards while providing a warm, confidential environment for healing. My unique background in architecture and visual arts informs a creative, holistic approach to mental health care that prioritizes individual needs and long-term well-being.
