Healing, Empowerment, Inspiration, Transformation

Congratulations for considering counseling as a possible way to grow, change, and heal. I encourage you to never settle. An emotionally balanced and fulfilling life is possible. It is important for you to find a counselor or psychologist who helps you create an environment of honesty, safety, and motivation. It is possible for you to grow. It will take time, effort, and a willing heart. I encourage you, whether it is by working with me or someone else, to get the support you need and deserve to create a life of peace and joy.

I am a Licensed Psychologist (PSY 20714) who provides individual, couples, family, and group therapy in the Los Angeles area. I provide my services to children, adolescents, and adults. I use an integrative approach to counseling that combines cognitive-behavioral and insight-oriented approaches. I also attend to issues of culture, spirituality, and the healing use of artistic expression. I find homework assignments between sessions to be a helpful tool for empowerment and skill development.

What You Can Expect

I provide a free initial phone consultation to determine your needs and provide you an opportunity to ask questions. Appointments are 50 minutes in length. For the first visit, I request that you arrive 15 minutes early to complete the initial paper work. Initial paper work includes some personal information, office policies and confidentiality procedures.

Insurance and Fees

Full fee is $150 per 50 minute session, with a sliding scale that begins at $75. Payment is due at the beginning of each session. I accept checks or cash. No credit cards or debit cards are accepted at this time. In some cases, I am able to work with PPO insurance companies. I suggest you contact your insurance provider ahead of time and find out if they reimburse psychotherapy and if you can choose your own out of network therapist. If so, payment is still paid at the beginning of each session, in full and I provide a bill at the end of the month indicating what was paid. The bill and receipt of payment are then submitted to the insurance company by you and you are then reimbursed at their rate.

Location Info

I see clients at the FAME Renaissance Center which is located on the corner of W. Adams and Western Avenue, off the Western Ave. exit of the 10 Freeway.
