Book your complimentary 15-minute video consultation session today to learn more. I offer in-person sessions in San Diego, and telehealth sessions for all California and Florida residents.

What you can expect from me

In our first session together, we will discuss the current issues bringing you into therapy today, as well as review background information that is relevant to your care including family, social occupational, and medical history. I like to give you a couple of things to start working on right away, so I typically dedicate the last part of the session to reviewing some new skills or practices to implement.
