More than listening
I have been a clinical psychologist providing individual therapy, medical consultation and teaching/training for over 20 years. I was trained at UCLA and served as the Darcie Denkert Notkin Director of Psycho Oncology Care at the UCLA Simms Mann Center for Integrative Oncology, where I received multiple national and institutional awards for clinical care and leadership.
My goal is to help each person feel fully seen and heard, and then assist them to build a sense of wholeness and agency within their life circumstances. Regardless of who I serve, I prioritize humility, respect for the individual and their process, and effectiveness of my care as defined uniquely by each individual I work with.
Of the many hats that I have worn in my work, being a therapist and teaching others to be exceptional therapists, has always been closest to my heart. It is work that I have always felt deeply privileged to do and I am grateful to have this as the primary focus in the next phase of my career.
