My goal is to provide compassionate, individualized and supportive therapy services informed by years of training in treatments that have a solid foundation of research.
My specialities are anxiety and related conditions, as well as sleep.
Earlier in my career, I worked at UCLA's Counseling and Psychological Services as a Staff Psychologist serving undergraduate and graduate students dealing with anxiety, stress, traumatic stress, changes in mood/difficulty managing emotions, disordered eating, identity and career development, role transitions and relationship concerns. While there I was a clinical supervisor, member of the Training Committee and ran a number of groups, including Breaking Free from Anxiety, Compassion for Your Inner Critic, Cognitive-Processing Therapy for trauma, Managing Emotions and Recovering from Depression . Subsequently, I worked in TeleMental Health in the Department of Veterans Affairs with a specialty in behavioral sleep medicine where I pursued a Diplomate in Behavioral Sleep Medicine (DBSM) distinction and gained significant experience with treatments for insomnia and other sleep concerns. I made the decision to enter full-time private practice end of 2021 and have been providing telehealth services since that time.
I have experience working adults of all ages, including emerging adults as well as older adults.
