I am licensed clinical psychologist in California. I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology and MA in Counseling Psychology.
I am trained in the depth psychological tradition (psychoanalytic psychotherapy, psychodynamic and Jungian/analytic psychology). I listen to how deep-rooted beliefs, current dilemmas in daily life, socio-cultural factors, and emotional responses are communicating through the expression of psychological symptoms.
In my listening practice, my attention is multi-directional and considers how being, seeing, coping, and assuming are both formed and impacted within, and beyond, one's immediate family system. I attend to the imprints of inherited implicit and explicit trauma, following the feelings that arise around experiences of control and its absence.
I will listen as you start where are you.
The treatment will involve discovering how your mind experiments with new ways of seeing. This can be an entry point into exploring hidden places in order to foster clarity, meaning-making, and a greater capacity to connect with yourself as you respond to the world around you.
We will look closely at what feels unchangeable, what underlying perspectives have been internalized and over-identified with, and other psychological positions that can haunt and protect in different situations.
