Welcome to our practice. We have several terrific clinicians in Beverly Hills and DTLA who are privileged to work with individuals, couples and families. Our style is focused on helping you understand your development in a way that allows you to become unstuck from your concerns. Our common sense approach is aimed at helping you gain insight into your past and present, enabling you to make healthier choices about your present and future. We treat a range of concerns, and are available to work with you in many languages. It is important to us that you feel like you can be understood, on every level.

My sessions are geared toward helping patients change in ways which will enhance their lives. By understanding the obstacles to change helps to build conscientious strategies which we together can employ. I am a stronge proponent of necessary out of office experiences "homework" which requires my patients to be aware of their emotional reactions which block new behaviors. In other words, greater awareness must take place outside of our sessions as well as within. I believe in handing patients the reigns to their own lives as I believe therapy must be about empowerment throughout all stages of adult life.

For the past 33 years, I have worked with adult individuals and couples in a variety of areas including anxiety, depression, trauma and intimacy. The focus of my work is attachment-based using a combination of dynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness techniques.

I am a licensed Counseling Psychologist whose work is dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to achieving wellness of mind, body and spirit. I utilize a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to create a safe environment in which we can explore how identity factors, personal strengths, experiences and obstacles may influence responses to difficult emotions and events.Through a holistic, integrative framework, I collaborate with my clients to identify relevant, measurable goals and identify pathways to achieving their fullest potential. Customized approaches are developed based on each person's unique needs, values and preferences.

You have taken the first step to healing from your past and constructing a brighter future. Psychotherapy is at its best when it becomes a healing experience, a growing experience, and a personal development experience. I will work with you to help heal the wounds of your past, deepen your understanding of yourself, and improve your self-esteem, self-efficacy and self-belief. I want to help you create a brighter future to look forward to and help fill your life with purpose, satisfaction, and fulfillment.

Relationships are one of the most meaningful and rewarding elements of our lives. Whether it’s a relationship with a spouse, partner, friends, a parent or child, a relationship to work or money, or the relationship you have with yourself-- relationships affect us every minute of every day. But, the ability to cultivate them into healthy and loving creations is not innate. Most of us have experienced the pain that comes when relationships are toxic and unfulfilled. This pain comes in many forms: anxiety, sadness, guilt or shame, low self-esteem, loneliness, financial problems, addiction, etc. But, it doesn’t have to be that way.

Hello! I am a Licensed Psychologist and the founder of PEAKPsychLA - a private psychotherapy practice in Beverly Hills, CA. I work with teenagers, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, intense or overwhelming emotions, and alcohol/drug misuse. I also work with people living with major mood disorders and personality disorders. If you are struggling with any of these experiences, want to feel better, and are looking for someone you can trust to help, I provide individual therapy, couples , and/or family therapy, in person and via remote telehealth services.

I believe that our journeys, through life's experiences and struggles, make us who we are. My own life's journey has led me to my career as a psychotherapist, which allows me the opportunity, honor, and privilege, to work together with my clients to realize their own strengths, limitations, and to identify and achieve their goals. I believe this can take place, within a strong therapeutic relationship, built on non-judgment, trust, safety, and compassion.

It takes courage to begin therapy. Feeling stuck, depressed or anxious, looking for clarity on how to move forward? My relational, psychodynamic approach helps us to connect empathically with your deeper needs, hopes and concerns. I encourage clients to build on their inherent strengths & acknowledge ways they may be impeding their own progress. My hope is to help you understand why you encounter the same kinds of frustrating roadblocks, and how you might make greater room in your life for more satisfying outcomes; while increased self-awareness doesn't guarantee change. it can open the door to new real & unimagined possibilities.

When you are feeling depressed or anxious, you have a real reason to want to be heard. You communicate through words and body language. A child communicates through play and art. Whichever way you communicate, I am dedicated to hear what you have to say and gain a real understanding of what is going on. Together, we can explore your uniqueness and find strength in that. Whether it is a family issue or a personal one, taking care of yourself is a priority. I believe that the basic foundation of therapy is a good relationship between therapist and client.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. As a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I work with individuals, couples , and families dealing with a variety of concerns. I work with a diverse population of people, with a focus on resolving complex trauma, coping with daily stressors, and navigating the ins and outs of overwhelming emotions. I specialize in working with adults, teens, and families. My counseling approach uses a relational style as well as evidence-based practices.

I specialize in cutting edge techniques that work at the level of the unconscious mind to help gently and efficiently shift unwanted patterns of behavior. We often don't realize that the way we respond and perceive things in the present is due to past programming. This programming not only creates a blueprint for who we choose and how we behave in our intimate relationships but also determines our ability to cope with stress and deal with painful emotions throughout our lifetime. The techniques I use and teach my clients work especially well with anxiety, phobias, depression and trauma.

I am a licensed psychologist with over a decade of clinical experience working with adult individuals, couples , and families across various treatment settings. Therapy is a powerful tool for clarifying goals, improving organization, defining values, and finding direction in one’s life. Specializing in treatments rooted in psychodynamic theory, I collaborate with my patients, empowering them to identify the source of their pain, and utilizing their strengths to find a resolution.

Thank you for considering therapy with me. I am looking forward in meeting you. You will find me to be flexible and sensitive. I enjoy helping individuals in achieving personal growth; in a caring & safe environment. Whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, grief/loss, sexual dysfunction, we can work together to resolve your issue and minimize your suffering. Your natural state of being is a gift and is what I work with in psychotherapy to bring out your hidden potentials to surface.

I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with stressful life transitions, anxiety, feelings of inadequacy, emotional connection, intimacy and sexual issues. I help clients identify and change the unhealthy cycles that may be creating feelings of being stuck. With respect, sensitivity, and expertise I will help you improve your relationships, create more meaningful connections and improve your life.

Somewhere along the way, the story you had written about your life took a detour and now you wonder if it will ever get back on track. The uncomfortable questions of “how are you?” and “what have you been up to lately?” no longer become something you can answer honestly. It can be an unsettling and painful experience to wake up one day and feel as if you no longer recognize yourself or the life that you desired. Perhaps it is a relationship no longer working, the demands of life overwhelming you, or the intense need to rediscover meaning in your life. You just know that something has to change.

Therapy can be a rich and powerful experience of growth and change. I work with individuals and couples , families, and teenagers to successfully reduce stress, anxiety and depression; strengthen friendships and relationships at work and at home; resolve grief, past traumas, and internal conflict; modify negative thinking and self-destructive behaviors; build self-esteem; enhance intimacy and sexual well-being; foster self-discovery; and help improve one’s overall quality of life experiences.

We all do our best to navigate this very complicated world. Along the way, we develop beliefs, perceptions, and narratives about who we are in the world based on our experiences - both good and bad. In a confidential environment, together we will work collaboratively to challenge the obstacles that have become hurdles. I believe every human being has unique strengths, talents, and resources that often remain uncovered or minimized amidst an onslaught of life stressors. To be successful, the work cannot be one-size-fits-all, but is always tailored to match your unique experience.

You've had regular talk therapy for years but you have not gotten the results that you want. As a trauma specialist, in a short amount of time, I will help you learn how to move from survival mode (fight-flight-freeze-flawn) to productive mode (emotion regulation- critical thinking- decision making), thus leading the life that you want. I'm trained in highest level of Attachment Focused-EMDR. This modality heals roots of attachment traumas which are the core of many current symptoms. I’ll help you rewire your nervous system through EMDR, Resourcing, Inner Child Work, Breath Work, Trauma Informed Mindfulness& Trauma Resiliency Model

Many of us in our lifetime will experience crisis-inducing events that we cannot resolve alone. Coping with a traumatic life event or any emotional experience is very personal. Events and experiences that cause a change in your life can manifest itself in many ways such as anxiety, depression, phobias, suicidal thoughts, substance abuse, violent behavior, insomnia, or relationships conflicts, to name a few. I, with a wide range of experience will facilitate a meaningful and practical experience in the therapeutic sessions.
