Transformative Psychotherapy Services in Torrance, CA
As a dedicated psychologist with extensive experience in evidence-based therapeutic approaches, I founded this practice to provide transformative mental health care. My journey began with a doctoral degree followed by two years of service at a VA hospital in Puerto Rico, where I developed a passion for treating complex psychological conditions. Through advanced training at Stanford's pain management clinic and certification in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), I've refined my ability to help clients overcome anxiety, depression, and trauma-related disorders. Our practice specializes in breaking traditional therapy boundaries by offering 90-minute sessions that allow deeper emotional processing and personalized treatment plans integrating ISTDP with complementary modalities.With a focus on scientific rigor and client-centered care, we've helped numerous individuals resolve chronic pain, insomnia, and relationship difficulties through emotionally transformative work. Our commitment to excellence is demonstrated through inclusion in UCLA's insomnia treatment referral network and provision of forensic psychological evaluations for legal mitigation cases.

Questions
What is ISTDP therapy and how does it work?
ISTDP is an evidence-based approach that helps patients process repressed emotions causing psychological distress. Through intensive sessions, we identify and address unconscious defense mechanisms that maintain anxiety, depression, and relationship issues.
Do you offer teletherapy services?
Yes, I provide teletherapy sessions for California residents through secure videoconferencing platforms, making quality mental health care accessible regardless of location within the state.
What mental health conditions do you treat?
I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, mood disorders, insomnia, chronic pain, relationship difficulties, and trauma-related conditions using evidence-based approaches tailored to each client's specific needs.
What makes your therapy sessions different?
My sessions last 90 minutes instead of the standard 50, allowing deeper emotional processing. I also integrate ISTDP with other evidence-based modalities to create personalized treatment plans for optimal outcomes.
