Hi. Thanks for taking the time to consider working with me as your therapist. I realize the importance of choosing the right person for this trusted role. I hope that the following videos will give you a sense of me and how I might help you. Some things that distinguish me and my work include the level of training I have received, my years of experience, the variety of strategies that I am competent to use, but also my own personal qualities of warmth, compassion, genuineness, and care. I am proud to have dedicated years to developing proficiency as a Psychologist. I am both a California Licensed Psychologist as well as a Singapore Registered Psychologist. In addition to earning a Ph.D. from the APA Accredited Counseling Psychology Training Program at the University of Texas at Austin, I also hold a Masters Degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. As part of my Ph.D. program I successfully completed the APA Approved Predoctoral Psychology Internship at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center in Loma Linda. I then went on to hold a variety of positions in both governmental and private sector settings before eventually building my own private practice. These years of experience have allowed me to develop a range of skills and competencies which I am able to draw upon. I am now providing therapy exclusively online for adults, adolescents, couples and families. I do this through a secure online platform which is easy for clients to use. Because I am a California Licensed Psychologist these services are eligible for reimbursement through PPO insurance on an Out-of-Network basis. All necessary documentation for insurance submission are provided to clients though a secure online portal. I offer free online consultations which would give us a chance to explore what what changes you would like to make and how I might be of assistance. I also hope that the following video clips will provide a better sense of me and my approach. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and/or to schedule a free online consultation. I will hope to hear from you.
