Couples Counseling Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

I have experience working with adults of all ages, couples , and groups experiencing issues related to trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, gender, sexuality, sex, intimacy, self-esteem, and other complex and persistent mental health and emotional challenges. I work collaboratively with clients to develop the most effective treatment approach, with particular emphasis placed on trust, honesty, and individual responsibility. It is my goal to provide a supportive environment, free of judgment and affirming of your personal experience, where you feel safe to explore, heal, and grow.

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.

The longest relationship you’ve ever had is the one you have with yourself. Understanding who you are to your core is life’s greatest adventure. Identity and expression of that identity is what makes you, YOU.
Many people have never had the chance to dissect their desires and learn about their authentic selves. You may not be happy with the way you feel about your body, your gender or identity expression, or maybe you feel inexperienced and nervous about the topic of sexuality; There is room for all of these feelings to be explored. Sexuality is a spectrum, and all of the colors of the wheel are welcome and deserve therapy.

I have years of experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficult life transitions.

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.
