I work with late teens and adults in individual, couples, and group psychotherapy. My perspective is primarily Psychoanalytic, deeply Relational and Humanistic in that vein. Contemplative, Existential, and mindfulness practices are also part of my work.
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles, completed a Fellowship in Behavioral Medicine at Kaiser Permanente, Los Angeles Medical Center, and hold a Bachelor's degree from Columbia University. I am also trained in Group Psychotherapy through the Eastern Group Psychotherapy Society.read less
