Great to meet you!

Currently, I am a psychologist in family medicine at UCLA part-time. I earned my Ph.D. in the 90s from Howard U and a Master's from Boston U, and my career has included psychotherapy with adolescents, adults, and couples or families. I have also taught graduate students in clinical psychology and I teach creative writing at UCLA Extension.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use my psychodynamic background to conceptualize issues and then I strategize by choosing from a variety techniques, some behaviorally based and others analytically oriented.

What you can expect from our first session

Everyone I work with needs to find a fresh approach to self-empowerment, and I help them to discover the resources within themselves. Some learn how to negotiate better, others learn how to communicate more effectively, and still others learn how to love themselves or their partners better.
