I’d like to give you a brief synopsis of what I do, then, please, visit my different pages to find out more.  I am an experienced psychotherapist, trained at The Ohio State University in Glasser’s Reality Therapy and Beck’s Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I learned how to evaluate for PTSD and apply Desensitization Therapy to treat this disorder, through my work with veterans at the West LA VAMC. I take most major insurances and see adults of all ages.  After completing my post-doctoral fellowship at UCLA, I became board certified in the area of Clinical Neuropsychology. Much of the neuropsychological assessments I do are with brain injured adults with neurological conditions, such as traumatic brain injury, concussions, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s dementia, epilepsy, and stroke. I’ve published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers in research fields of interest and a book, Using the MMPI-2 in Forensic Assessment (2015), Wash DC: American Psychological Association Press. I believe I provide fair and objective forensic neuropsychological evaluations. I realize the importance of cultural sensitivity and the effects of different upbringings on both treatment and assessment outcome.  When I entered the field, it was with the hope and belief that I could help people. You will find me empathic, protective, and pragmatic in my approach to your life goals. Thank you for visiting my website.
