More about me
Years in Practice: 5 State: California
I am licensed in California. I take an integrative and collaborative approach to treatment, depending on clients’ goals, problems, and personalities. I try to support as well as challenge clients in an effort to increase their self-understanding and help them make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe clients are the experts on themselves, and I view my role as more of a guide. My therapeutic methods are flexible and individualized, incorporating cognitive behavioral techniques, relational psychodynamic work, and mindfulness.
I am also trained in conducting Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy for anxiety, panic disorder, and OCD, and currently serve as a supervisor at the UCLA Anxiety Disorders Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences.
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.
