About My Clients

With over two years of experience in community mental health and private practice, I have effectively treated a diverse array of issues, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anger management, substance abuse, domestic violence, family estrangement, and relationship challenges for both adults and adolescents.

My Background and Approach

Before embarking on my therapy career, I served as an educator in Los Angeles, teaching at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. In my role as the special education coordinator for both middle and high schools, I facilitated thousands of Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, collaborating closely with teachers, psychologists, students, and their families. These years provided me with intense experience of the social, familial, and academic challenges faced by adolescents.
