I have been practicing for 40 + years, in the Southbay, Torrance area. I am a psychologist with a Ph.D. I specialize with young children, adolescence. I also work with couples, families and am practized in depression, anxiety, psychosis, and divorce. I utalize cognitive/behavioral and psychdynamic therapies. I match my approach to the personality and needs of thebpatient.
I like to begin with the present moment and why is the patient here? My style is to gather background on the patient and learn as much about them on the first session that matters and is possible to do on the first session.
They can expect that I am interested in them and I will not be judgemental. I am a warm and caring therapist. I am honest, and want the same honesty from them. I hope to create a relaxed and trusting work environment.
