Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

I am a psychologist who is committed to providing compassionate and effective evidence-based treatments for insomnia, anxiety, trauma, and mood difficulties. I also enjoy helping clients navigate difficult life transitions, manage stress, and improve work-life balance. I view therapy as a true partnership where I aid individuals in identifying challenges, solutions, as well as key areas of strength. I believe deeply in the resilience of the human spirit and I strive to create a caring, supportive environment. My goal is to help you build skills to live better and move away from unhelpful thoughts, reactions, and habits.

With over 25 years of practice experience, I provide psychotherapy for adults, adolescents and couples. The therapeutic approach I use is integrative, combining different perspectives that are proven effective by researchers. Typical goals include helping you to reduce distress, decrease self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions, increase happiness and satisfaction, improve self-understanding and acceptance , enhance resilience and emotional control, and increase hope about your future. My professional style is empathic, interactive, and engaging. I enjoy and appreciate my job helping people move closer to their valued goals.

Are you finding yourself stuck in the same old patterns and behaviors, even though you're aware of what drives them and where they come from? You are not alone! Insight is powerful and important, but it's only a piece of the puzzle. In our work together we will combine deep and curious inquiry, with behavioral and solution-focused techniques. We will be co-travelers on a journey where you are the expert of your own experience. Not only will we work to support your healing but go beyond to help you to envision and build a rich, meaningful, value-driven life.

I use an empathic, nonjudgemental, and strengths-based approach to therapy with my clients. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults who struggle with depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, self-harm, disordered eating behaviors, and relationship difficulties. My approach is collaborative, so that we can work together to reach your goals that are most important to you. Our individual sessions may include homework to increase practice with skills/strategies.

In my mind, the ideal psychologist is validating, transparent, practical, and experienced. As both a board certified CBT and DBT therapist, I teach tangible tools to get "unstuck" based on scientific research within a nonjudgmental, warm, environment. My hope is to help you move toward the life you want and create some distance from the thoughts and behaviors that might get in your way. My goal isn't only to help you feel better, but to holistically live better. I really enjoy working with college and graduate students, people pursuing life changes (such as career, relationship), and individuals facing medical problems.

Thank you for visiting my page.

I believe you have the power and ability to change what you don't want; the question is, "are you willing?" your life is a result of choices and circumstances. Make a different choice, and you'll get a different result. You have the right to say "no" to what you don't want, and you have the right to say "yes" to what you do want. It's okay to tell yourself you're enough as is, it's okay to tell yourself that you are worthy of someone else's time, it's okay to tell yourself that you deserve happiness. And it's okay to be unapologetically yourself.

To be 'human' is such a simple and yet such a deep and miraculous concept. Suffering is a natural part of human experience and emotional avoidance is one of the main causes of psychological problems. Avoiding negative emotions may bring you short term relief but in the long term it will end up with pain. When we accept a negative emotion, it tends to lose its destructive power. Therapy is a healing journey where the alliance between client and therapist plays an extremely important role in the process of acceptance .

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.
