About me
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist with more than 25 years of experience and doctoral training in both clinical and health psychology (my dissertation focused on the health psychology of HIV and AIDS), and a native and resident of Newport Beach. As the daughter of immigrants from Eastern Europe, I care deeply about understanding each person’s worldview and how they see themselves. I have a real love for life and a genuine curiosity about people. My approach is integrative: I’m EMDR-trained and draw on positive psychology, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral and insight-oriented techniques, tailored to your needs. My style is direct, solution-oriented, and humorous. We begin with an intake and evaluation to identify your concerns and goals together.
