About

I am a clinical psychologist based in Los Angeles, working in private practice.

My clinical work centers on patients navigating complex and difficult-to-organize psychological conditions.

Over time, this work led to a more specific question: under what conditions does psychological change actually occur?

The work centers on how experience organizes under pressure—differentiation and collapse, deadness and aliveness, and the conditions under which change becomes possible.

First Principles Psychology names an attempt to describe the structure of change at its most basic level—prior to method, interpretation, or content.

This site develops that question through writing, clinical models, and training.
