About
I am a psychologist working in private practice in California with adults and adolescents. I am passionate about helping people get into and stay in recovery from a variety of issues including trauma/PTSD, depression, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, anxiety, and chronic pain. Depending on your individual needs, we can work together to identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, identify stuck points, process emotions, set boundaries, build resiliency, and build a support network. I have training in several treatment modalities including CBT and Cognitive Processing Therapy, a short-term treatment for trauma/PTSD. I can help people get clean and sober and stay clean and sober. Treating substance abuse requires addressing the underlying problem, once stabilized, while changing problematic behaviors and building a sober lifestyle. I also wrote a workbook for adolescents with substance abuse problems and designed both adult and adolescent drug education programs. Additionally, I work with individuals with chronic pain and facilitate a bimonthly support group that combines supportive therapy and skills building. Together, we can work on processing thoughts and emotions, address underlying mental health issues, build self-awareness and understanding, and develop a healthy lifestyle. Recovery, healing, and growth await!
