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.

COVID-19 has affected everyone mentally and emotionally, making it hard for many during this different and difficult time. I am currently taking in new clients via Telehealth. My specialties include: struggles with anxiety, depression, relational/marital issues, self-esteem, grief/loss and somatic experiencing. Therapy is an effective way to explore thoughts and feelings you may not be able to share and express with others.

I strive to be a therapist who is empathic and non-judgmental while utilizing insight to help patients to increase self-awareness. I have witnessed clients become more empathic towards themselves as well seeing their suffering decrease. Therapy can markedly improve the quality of clients' relationships, work, and play. An important aspect of therapy is looking at your feelings in the present moment or "here and now" with me. The therapeutic relationship itself helps heal and we will analyze it at times. I aim to create an environment where the client feels safe and free to express themselves to increase self awareness.

I have some limited availability in-person or through Zoom. I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives.

In my practice, I provide a safe space where the struggles of daily life can be explored, old wounds can be healed and opportunities for growth and change can be uncovered.

I am licensed in CA, TX, HI, and all psypact states. My mission as a clinical psychologist is to help individuals reduce suffering and achieve purpose in their lives. I view therapy as teamwork and am dedicated to collaboratively helping clients reach their goals. I strive to provide evidence-based treatment, rooted in the latest scientific findings, facilitated by a validating and safe space.

I have years of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions. Whether you are looking to heal from pain from the past or trying to find a way to move forward in your life, you don’t have to go through it alone. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental relationship where individuals feel validated and empowered to overcome life’s challenges and lead a more fulfilling life. My approach is person-centered and one of collaborative self-exploration where I see myself as a guide to help you get where you want to be.

I am a down-to-earth and compassionate therapist who enjoys working in collaboration with my clients to empower them to reach their therapeutic goals. Whether you find yourself struggling to cope with the added challenges of the pandemic, are arguing with your partner(s)/family/friends/coworkers more than you’d like to, or are unsatisfied with your sex life, I am here to be your partner in healing and will walk with you in your journey every step of the way. I have helped clients work through clinical concerns such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family discord, relationship distress, premarital counseling, sexuality, and more.

I am here to help you find a deeper understanding of yourself, cultivate personal growth, and improve your relationships. In a collaborative relationship with the client, I explore family dynamics, relationship patterns, and underlying feelings and unconscious drives that impede a sense of well being. Some of the issues I treat include depression, anxiety, substance abuse, recovery, trauma (emotional, physical, sexual), suicidal ideation, grief/loss, cancer survivors, LGBTQ, and pre-marital counseling/relationship/marital issues. I help clients explore their feelings, past experiences, present situations, and hopes for the future.

I want to help people discover, think about, give meaning to, and find compassion for, alienated parts of themselves that are repressed and forbidden, containing unmet needs, historic conflicts, and unfulfilled dreams. Reunion with these parts can help people better understand their current behaviors, thoughts, and feelings and develop options for changing old patterns in their relationships with themselves, partners, and work that were once effective defenses against psychological pain. Therapy helps us become more fully alive, creative, connected to others, and free to be ourselves with less, and perhaps more realistic, fear-- individually, in our families, cultures, and society.

Available in Beverly Hills and Palm Springs, both locations offer in person or/and virtual appointments. We treat individuals, couples and families. Please ask your therapist what insurance they currently take. Please be sure to complete all paperwork prior to seeing your therapist. We work closely with psychiatrists to ensure that you obtain the highest level of care. We have both male and female therapists to choose from.

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?

Here's what I want you to know: You were born ready and able to be happy, and have a satisfying life--that's natures way. And, yet, at any point in life there can be many 'causes & reasons' for life turning in a different direction; and there can be many kinds of 'symptoms & behaviors’ that emerge when things go sideways; and when this occurs, we all can use some support to get back on track. For right now, just know that reaching for support is itself a sign of strength, and is also built into our human nature.

Have you lost sight of who you are? Are you unsure of who you want to be? Have you found yourself consumed by, or lost in your romantic relationships? Anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and other challenges can interfere with your true identity. Let’s get you feeling more grounded and comfortable in your own skin. I am focused on joining with you and helping you to unravel difficult issues and live your best life.
