I love my work. I am a licensed clinical psychologist providing scientifically backed therapies that get my clients feeling better, faster.

Clinical Psychologist in Santa Monica, CA

About My Clients

Many of my clients are discerning, ambitious, and accomplished individuals who are seeking relief from anxiety, depression, or relationship challenges. While parts of their lives may feel rewarding, they often feel held back by worry, low self-worth, or relationship concerns and want to experience greater fulfillment and meaning overall. The couples I work with come to strengthen their satisfaction, communication, and sense of connection so they can thrive together.

My Background and Approach

I have a doctorate in clinical psychology and my expertise is in evidence-based treatments -- meaning therapies that are scientifically backed to provide results efficiently, which translates into my clients feeling better, faster. I completed a postdoctoral fellowship at UCLA in affective disorders including anxiety, depression, OCD, and bipolar disorder and have over a decade of experience applying these skills since. The couples I treat often achieve results more quickly than other modalities. In addition to my practice, I am also a clinical professor at the UCLA Department of Psychology where I teach doctoral students how to apply these methods helping to build the next generations of psychologists. I use a number of cutting edge therapies including CBT, ACT, ERP, CPT for individuals and IBCT and EFT for couples. I am deeply committed to helping my clients find freedom from distressing symptoms and lead more fulfilling lives as the best versions of themselves.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
