I received my Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) from the University of Southern California (USC), where I completed my internship at the USC Counseling Center. I subsequently completed a two-year post-graduate fellowship in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Wright Institute Los Angeles (WILA) where I worked with individuals and couples coming to therapy for a host of issues. I presently help a wide range of people of different backgrounds and ages with issues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. As a psychodynamic psychotherapist, my style of working offers a holistic approach personal growth and healing. Psychodynamic therapy recognizes the interplay between past experiences, unconscious motivations, and present-day struggles. By delving into our psyche, we unearth the hidden forces that shape our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Unlike short-term or symptom-focused therapies, psychodynamic psychotherapy invites us to explore the root causes of our challenges, paving the way for lasting transformation. While some therapeutic approaches focus on providing quick fixes or symptom relief, psychodynamic therapy recognizes that sustainable change requires a thorough exploration of the underlying causes. Psychodynamic therapy is not merely a journey into the past; it is a path of self-discovery that illuminates the present and shapes the future. By working through unresolved conflicts, we gain the tools to build healthier relationships, foster emotional well-being, and live a more authentic and fulfilling life.
