Psychologist in Los Angeles, CA

About My Clients

If you're struggling with recurrent patterns that are negatively impacting your life, I can help you to uncover the underlying causes and/or guide you in practicing new ways to react in your life to triggering situations. I specialize in helping clients gain more strategies to overcome childhood issues and/or traumas. My other passion is helping couples reconnect or deepen their connection through an effective attachment therapy approach.

My Background and Approach

My therapeutic process begins by identifying a person’s struggles, thoughts and behavior patterns while taking into account their family upbringing, culture and values. By identifying how these aspects affect the way one reacts and makes decisions it clarifies why one feels stuck or confused. These conflicts might present as anxiety, depression, addictions or compulsions, etc. The transformative process in therapy occurs through practicing new ways of thinking and responding and asserting oneself. I look forward to helping you get "unstuck" and achieve a more gratifying and productive life.
