Hello, I am a bilingual licensed psychologist in Los Angeles, California with 13 years of professional experience. I work with clients who are experiencing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, abuse, motivation, self-esteem, confidence and depression. I have a cognitive behavioral approach and believe it is important for the client to feel empowered by learning different ways to address their concerns. In addition, I conduct psychosocial and cognitive evaluations. If you are interested in identifying, understanding and learning new ways to cope with mental health concerns, I am happy to help!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
