I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice in Hermosa Beach, CA. I work with adults and late adolescent individuals, couples and families on a wide range of concerns and challenges that bring them into therapy.
A graduate of Tufts University, I worked in the New York art world before returning to Los Angeles to complete my M.A. and Psy.D. in Psychology from the California Graduate Institute, now known as the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Prior to working in private practice, I trained at the CGI Counseling Center and South Bay Center for Counseling as well as with preeminent theorists and mentors in the psychological community.
To best serve my clients, I draw on various modalities including psychodynamic, family systems, narrative, attachment, emotionally focused and cognitive behavioral therapy. As a parent myself, I recognize the unique trials and complexities that accompany the journey of raising kids, and enjoy helping others navigate this as well.
