Find A Psychologist in Palmdale, CA.

I've been a licensed psychologist for 20 years, working with a variety of clients from different backgrounds and lifestyles. I have performed psychological testing with children, adolescents, and adults, and psychotherapy and psychoeducation in groups, families, individuals and couples. Throughout the years, I have found what I enjoy doing best: helping people resolve trauma and grief, and repairing unhealthy relationships. My education had prepared me for many different roles, but I find that private practice psychotherapy is ideal for me. I love providing therapy to individual teens and adults, and couples in traditional and nontraditional relationships (including same-sex couples and polyamorous relationships). I would love to help you heal from the past.
