Who I Work With

I work with families, groups, and individuals of all ages including adults, adolescents, and children. In order to see progress, I work with my patients as a team, actively listening and developing trust.

I help point out how anxiety, depression, and stress are brought on by external forces: work, school, abandonment, cancer, chronic illnesses, diabetes, divorce, family issues, dependency, adoptions, unhealthy relationships, control issues, and communication problems.

My Specialties

Working with children and troubled adolescents, working with displaced workers, and helping patients cope with anxiety and depression. A large focus of my career is dedicated to working with newly diagnosed diabetic patients and teaching seminars on stress management.

Credentials

I began studying psychology because I was interested in connecting with people and helping them. It is my job to make patients understand their feelings in order to express and communicate their anxieties, worries, and stress that emotionally impact everyday well-being.

My credentials include a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from University of California Los Angeles, a Master's Degree in Psychology from Pepperdine University, and a Psy.D. in Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology.

I have been in private practice for the past 25 years located in Tarzana, California which allows me to treat patients in the heart of the San Fernando Valley and the greater Los Angeles area.
