Nice to Meet You

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, I practice psychotherapy for all stages of life from young adults to seniors my approach is based on the psychodynamic/ psychoanalytic group of theories, Freudian, Jungian, and Adlerian. I dedicated nearly 25 years researching and teaching sleep medicine and dreams, Dr. Freud called dreams The Royal Highway to the unconscious. Dream work is a tool I frequently use to connect a person to his/her true self in order to heal traumas from the past. I practice Existential Psychology, life is not a Being rather life is Becoming that amazing dynamic takes us from living our lives in an unauthentic being to more authentic one, such an approach helps almost every one reaching and achieving their goals in life. I believe the human brain is more than capable of balancing our mood and healing our emotional distress so we can live long with healthy body, mind, soul, and spirit.

Appointment Confirmed!

Your registration is complete and your appointment is scheduled. Review the details below.

Missed and Late Cancel Office Policy: Our office requires two full business days’ notice (48 hours) to cancel or reschedule your appointment or your credit card will be charged a late cancellation fee. Saturdays, Sundays, and Legal Holidays are not counted as business days (i.e., if you have an appointment on Monday at 11:00 am, and you wish to change it without penalty, you would need to call our office on the preceding Thursday morning before 11:00 a.m. to avoid the late cancellation fee). The late cancellation fee is $150 for a session with a psychiatrist, or $100 for a session with a psychologist or master’s level therapist. If you are not present at the start time of your scheduled appointment, it may be marked as missed by your provider. Unfortunately, we cannot bill your insurance for late cancellations, missed sessions, and appointments with too little time. We apologize that there are no exceptions to the late cancellation policy.
