More about me

Licensing: PsyD Years in Practice: 10 State: California

I am a clinical psychologist licensed in California, with over ten years of experience providing individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis management. I specialize in working with the chronically and persistently mentally ill population with psychosis and behavioral difficulties. I am also experienced in treating teens, couples, the elderly, LGBT clients, violent offenders, and clients suffering from addiction and co-occurring disorders. I have a passion for research into the impact of antisocial behaviors, psychological trauma, and the social and clinical implications of related disorders. By working with the gamut of comorbid mental disorders, I have developed an eclectic approach to treatment based on the unique needs of each client. I have a strong commitment to professionalism and quality of care.

Don’t worry about the fact that I don’t have many hours blocked out in the official schedule. My style is to arrange hours with my clients on a case-by-case basis that works around our busy lifestyles. Message me with some times you’re available, and we’ll work something out.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
