About My Clients
I work with college and graduate students, new dads, professionals, and retirees. Clients I work with value honesty, structure, and strategies they can use. They appreciate the use of evidence-backed techniques that they can implement in their daily lives. I recognize the significant step it takes to begin this process and would be honored to provide the guidance and tools necessary for you to work toward your personal goals.
My Background and Approach
I am a Newport Beach psychologist with a Clinical PhD from the University of Miami. I bring 20 years of experience in mental health research and education to my therapy practice. I work with clients using research-backed techniques such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and focus on real-world strategies that can help you achieve meaningful change. In therapy, I take a down-to-earth, client-centered approach and emphasize collaboration to ensure that the support you receive is both personalized and effective.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Alongside my private practice, I serve as a Lecturer in the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Irvine, where I teach undergraduate students about mental health diagnosis, evidence-based therapy, and the vital role of mental health awareness in reducing stigma and expanding access to care.
