My Background

I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Santa Monica, California. I have been practicing for 20+ years providing individual psychotherapy to college students/young adults and adults across the life span. I approach psychological change from a psychodynamic orientation and integrate the use of cognitive-behavioral interventions.

My career began in university counseling centers, where I specialized in the treatment of Eating Disorders and in helping women recovering from sexual abuse or domestic violence. In my private practice I have continued to specialize in these areas and young adult/college student issues, and I have accumulated extensive experience treating Depressive Disorders and Anxiety Disorders.
