I believe you matter I believe you matter

Hello!

I created this website to share my philosophy; tell you about my areas of practice, education, experience, approach, and fees; and as a way to contact me should you require more information or make an appointment.

My Philosophy

My Education & Experience

I have a master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University, Los Angeles with a specialization in trauma. I have received training in various modalities in several settings including Open Paths Counseling Center, a non-profit, low-fee service provider in Culver City, and Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services. While at Didi Hirsch, I was certified in suicide prevention and, as a counselor, served over 3,000 people in crisis. I began my psychotherapy career at Open Paths, where I continue to donate my time supporting those in need.

My Approach

I use a combination of one, two, or all three of the following types of therapy: Psychodynamic, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioral. Psychodynamic Therapy seeks to identify unconscious patterns; Narrative Therapy looks to understand the stories one believes about him or herself, others, and the world; while Cognitive Behavioral Therapy investigates how thoughts shape one's feelings and behaviors. Though different in nature, all three types may lead to deeper insights, heightened awareness, and self-empowerment.

My Fees

My fee is $150 for a one-hour session for individuals, and $175 for a one-hour session for couples and families. I do not take insurance, but will provide a superbill. I’ll answer any other questions, including the possibility of a reduction in fee, during our introductory phone call.

Contact
