Having worked across diverse mental health settings including community mental health and residential treatment facilities, I have cultivated an approach centered on creating a non-judgmental domain for clients to explore their aspirations and challenges. I believe in the power of authentic self-attunement and collaboration, guiding you to navigate life’s complexities while harnessing your inherent strengths and cultivating newfound areas of confidence. You may not know what to do or what you desire, but together we can collaboratively strategize to develop the tools to begin the proper journey towards your true goals.

Welcome to our practice! We are experienced clinicians in Beverly Hills and DTLA available to work with adults, children, couples and families. Some typical psychotherapy concerns are relationship issues, interracial/intercultural/interfaith relationships, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, undereating and overeating, body image issues, personality disorders, infidelity, high conflict divorce, family reunification, racial trauma, parenting/child behavior problems, sexual compulsivity/addiction, sexual abuse/assault, complex trauma/PTSD, compulsive spending/shopping, LGBTQIA+ concerns, BIPOC concerns, and more.

Your very act of reading these words is an indication that you have become curious about yourself and are interested in embarking upon a profound journey of self-discovery. Whether you are experiencing distress or simply wish to reach a more elevated and conscious existence, I welcome the idea of working with you. I work with adults (18 and over) and specialize in psychoanalytic/psychodynamic psychotherapy that works by addressing underlying issues that cause troubling symptoms. I also co-run a women's trauma group and a women's bereavment group. My aim is to help people meet their potential and feel more satisfied in their lives

Whether you’re looking to gain insight, strengthen your relationships, or identify harmful patterns of behavior - I'm here to help. One of the key aspects of successful and quality therapy is the therapist/client relationship. I understand the courage and vulnerability it takes to seek therapy and use warmth, humor, and curiosity to build strong relationships with my clients. Through a collaborative, nonjudgemental, and empowering style, I strive to create a safe space for openness and exploration to help clients develop healthier coping strategies, decrease negative symptoms, and foster personal growth.

An ideal client for my treatment mode would be someone who is either motivated for refinement of spirit, or would possess enough intelligence and wisdom to be able to gain enough insight into the nature of their condition so that they would embrace expert intervention with a degree of trust in harmony with adequate judgment into the need for treatment. He or she may engage in therapy alone, but where family history of emotional challenges exist, they would consider family therapy if all parties consent.

As a certified psychoanalyst, I specialize in treating teens and adults who struggle with depression; intense anxiety; obsessive-compulsive symptoms including invasive, disturbing thoughts; intolerable, painful emotions; high-conflict relationships; impulsive behaviors including suicidal and self-injurious behavior; substance and/or alcohol abuse; eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress symptoms. Our collaboration strives to help you find internal harmony. My method of investigation of the mind is designed to help you gain clarity in your thinking, achieve emotional containment and experience self-empowerment.

Given that I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Clinical Psychologist and Psychoanalyst, one might deduce that I am very intelligent and really good at what I do. Of course, there are other possibilities like I'm a glutton for punishment or just another ordinary obsessive over-achiever. The point is that credentials and education are but one important factor that go into making a good psychotherapist. I strive to NOT make assumtions, but to listen, understand, respect, be sensitive yet objective and flexible, tailoring the treatment to the needs of my patient instead of the other way around.

I currently see adolescents, adults, parents, and couples in private practice specializing in psychotherapy. I work from a contemporary psychodynamic/attachment based model. I seek to create an emphathic environment to help clients feel understood, while also challenging them to go to greater depths by confronting self-defeating or growth inhibiting patterns of relating to self and others.

I have worked in the helping profession for over half my life. Finding the right therapist is important. I will work with you in a safe environment to carefully explore what matters most to you. I believe individuals need space to discover the strength within, face difficult, frightening, painful experiences. I also believe in nurturing the hopeful side of things; allowing you to explore what could be. When we work together you are not alone.

The match between therapist and patient is one of the most important factors for a successful treatment. There is only so much that you can learn by reading about a therapist. Meeting in person is essential for you to find out if we are a good match to work together.

I want to extend a warm and empathetic welcome to you as you consider taking this important step towards healing and growth. Whether your goals are centered around personal growth, resolving family conflicts, or addressing your child's emotional needs, my commitment is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where healing and positive change can occur. Often times, children lack the ability to communicate their internal state with words. I utilize play in child therapy to help them express their emotions, process traumatic experiences, and develop problem-solving skills in a safe and supportive environment.

Joy. A sense of peace and wellbeing. Loving and feeling loved. Wanting more of these? Gently opening the distress within, in a safe space--with someone who truly wants to help create new understanding--allows dots to connect and forgotten threads to be re-woven.

Freedom to simply be YOU--creative, energetic, and loving yourself and those around you awaits. Are you ready...now?
