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

In finding a therapist, it's important to feel heard, respected, and understood and to feel confident that that person has the expertise to help you. I invite you to meet with me to see if I am the right therapist for you. I combine psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), and mindfulness approaches to provide effective high-quality therapy; this means that you will develop greater awareness of your struggles while being given direct and practical guidance on how to feel better and improve your life as quickly as possible.

Are your existing coping skills not feeling effective enough? Do you feel overwhelmed often? You might be thriving in some aspects of your life, but feeling unhappy or unfulfilled in other areas.

With so many things "to-do," goals to accomplish, and people to please, it's easy to feel disconnected from what truly matters and brings meaning to life. Living on an autopilot survival loop. Can you relate?
