Clients seeking to change need to have a new EXPERIENCE in session; talking is not the same thing as changing. We will use a range of strategies to create a new experience of yourself. I am an EMDR certified therapist and using EMDR, can address long-term difficulties such as relationship struggles, anxiety, depression, low-self-esteem. EMDR is also used with great results for individuals who have had a recent distressing incident such as a car accident, break in, assault, etc. I use a variety of out-of-the-box strategies to create new possibilities in how you experience yourself and others.

Welcome to my therapy practice. I am a licensed clinical psychologist who works with individual adults, adolescents, couples, and families dealing with a variety of challenges. Over the years, I have primarily helped clients with their depression, anxiety or major life transitions. Sometimes it is just that you have a general sense that something is wrong, or out of balance, and you need a place to talk or you are concerned for a loved one. I am here to listen and provide you with insight so that over time, you will feel clearer with yourself.

I really enjoy working with individuals and couples. I help clients become more aware of their body sensations and use that language to identify feelings and thoughts. This allows clients to connect with their full internal experience. Clients find this extremely helpful, especially those who have suffered traumatic incidents or long-term traumas. I am gentle and supportive in my work and use deep emotional exploration of past and present mixed with a body-based mindful approach to move clients toward healing. I am EFT informed when it comes to couples work. Couples find me grounding, fair, and supportive.

Together with cognitive-behavioral techniques and therapeutic insights, we will work to help you overcome insecurities, embrace growth, and maximize your overall wellbeing.

I provide a safe, comfortable, and healing space in which to explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I help individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families explore challenges, patterns, preferences, successes, and strengths. I strongly believe that greater awareness is the key to a personal growth. Increased awareness leads to acceptance (self and otherwise) and actions more reflective of one's values and desires.

I always start where you are. What are your goals? What do you want to get out of therapy? My job is to accompany you on your journey to wellness; bearing witness, offering feedback and facilitating the overall process so that you get where you want to go. I work from a number of different modalities and offer a flexible, creative and negotiable attitude toward the work that we will do. I want to know what works for you, and what doesn’t. My hope for our work is to build a trusting relationship in which the trials of life can be navigated with grace, inner wounds can be healed, and your soul can be nurtured.

Life is challenging enough without being hampered by painful or unpleasant thoughts, feelings or memories. I have been in private practice since 1990, helping people overcome the emotional obstacles that prevent them from living full and satisfying lives. These obstacles include: low self-esteem, difficulty relating to others, relationship problems, unresolved grief, immobilizing anxiety, unresolved issues from childhood, maladaptive ways of coping with stress etc.. I see adults only and do not do couple's therapy. When contacting me, please briefly state what you need help with, and, your insurance, if planning to use it.

In my high school psychology class, I learned there is an entire language that describes my experience-the sometimes conflicting experiences of living between two different worlds. I became passionate about finding ways to address the experience of people whose hurts are often invisible. I was saddened by my observation that too many people feel stigmatized and alone with their inner turmoil and wanted to find a way to make the heart, mind and body whole. My dream is that therapy becomes accessible to everyone and viewed merely as another source of support.

I've been guiding patients and couples toward emotional well-being for over 25 years.

Building upon your unique individual history, we'll construct a coherent personal narrative that brings meaning and understanding to your life. This enriching relational process enables you to adapt to life's challenges, become emotionally resilient, and deeply connect with yourself and others.

Your child is a source of light. But maybe you've noticed their light has been dimmer recently, and you're concerned. Perhaps your teen is falling behind in school, having difficulty connecting with their friends, or experiencing confusion as they explore their gender identity. Your young child may be having anger outbursts or challenges with their behavior at home. Adjusting to the ever-changing COVID-19 lifestyle might be causing worries and changes in mood or personality. Or your child might have experienced a major stressor like divorce, a death in the family, or even a traumatic event like a car accident or an act of violence.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist (PSY27345) providing Individual, Group and Couples psychotherapy in a private practice setting in West Los Angeles. My approach to therapy is Relational. I find that the exploration of our interpersonal relationships, including the relationship between the therapist and client, can be helpful in overcoming internal conflicts we face in our lives. Furthermore I believe psychotherapy is a collaborative process which brings something unique to each patient-therapist relationship. Working together, we can uncover your personal needs and internal struggles, in real time, to better understand how to acknowledge and express these needs in your everyday life.
