Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

Our world's been shaken up in ways we've never imagined. We're understandably anxious, trying to cope. Jobs, family, illness. How do we hold it together? Are you looking for someone to talk to who can walk through this labyrinth with you? I specialize in trauma, perhaps I can help. You may be having problems with your partner, kids or parents-- most significantly with yourself. If your pain is manifesting as panic attacks or addictions, if there's grief or you're in parent/child conflicts at any age, therapy may help. I work with individuals and couples to enhance communication, creativity and a core sense of self.

As a psychotherapist with 30 years of experience I have treated individuals like yourself. I see psychotherapy as a collaborative and active relationship between you and me. We will explore your feelings and beliefs in a safe and trusting environment.

I received my B.A. from McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I completed my Masters Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Phillips Graduate Institute in Los Angeles, CA. My clinical internship was completed at the Maple Counseling Center and at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. I am a licensed and highly respected marriage and family therapist specializing in the treatment of health, wellness and stress management. My expertise includes depression and anxiety, relationship issues, eating disorders, and chronic illness and pain.

My entire practice is geared towards meeting the needs of today's woman. From the challenges of adolescence to the shock of having an empty nest and everything in between. I believe that the struggles that occur across a woman's lifespan deserve special attention and an approach that specifically meets her needs. This is especially true for women of color who experience a unique stress associated with being a member of an ethnic minority group in the United States.

As a happiness expert, I’ve learned it’s not just about changing what’s wrong, but uncovering and enhancing what’s right. For over a decade, I’ve helped people across all areas of life heal from their past suffering and construct a brighter future to look forward to. I will help you to discover your inner strengths and resources, improve your sense of freedom and relatedness, and renew your sense of purpose. Together we will deepen your understanding of yourself and your relationships, while working to build a life filled with meaning, satisfaction, and fulfillment.

Do you feel like you're struggling to find you? Or get back to the old "you"? Well, according to Brené Brown, "What we don't need in the midst of struggle is shame for being human." I know it can be overwhelming and daunting when you feel out of control, but my goal is to provide a collaborative partnership centered on developing strengths and clarity, building meaningful relationships, and helping clients feel empowered to navigate their everyday or moment-to-moment struggles.

Through the therapeutic process, I aim to know and understand the authentic you. As collaborators, we can explore your hopes and fears, unlock what might be holding you back, and free you from old habits and patterns. I have experience in several therapeutic approaches, including Psychodynamic and Cognitive Behavioral (CBT). Depending on your particular set of needs, I custom tailor our sessions to match your goals.

It's difficult to be in this world. You want to be considerate and kind; you also want to fulfill your potential. Were you were raised with a lot of "shoulds"? Were you told to control or ignore your feelings? Are there issues with anger? Yours or anger from loved ones? Anger can lead to feelings of shame. But finding the feelings beneath the anger, you can accept and love yourself. And that can change your life.

My specialty as a psychotherapist is eating disorder recovery, obesity (including bariatric counseling, pre and post procedure) and body image issues. In addition to practicing as a licensed MFT, I have practiced as a nutritionist for over 20 years. Clients range in age from adolescent/teen to adults. Other areas of treatment in my practice include, but are not limited to, depression and/or anxiety, relationship issues, and self-esteem work. An additional area of specialty is working with adolescent/teens who have been victims of bullying. I am a current clinical/professional member of IAEDP, NEDA, CAMFT and AAMFT.

Maybe you remember this scene from a movie; picture it, a peaceful airplane ride becomes turbulent. The plane begins losing altitude rapidly. The flight attendant urgently instructs you to "put your oxygen mask on first" before helping others. That simple, but critical statement, is just as important in our everyday lives. Remembering to take time to yourself, non selfishly, can be difficult for anyone who tends to place others' needs first. Together, we'll explore your thoughts, feelings, decisions, choices, wants, and needs in your therapy. I will assist you in" finding your voice" and help you to "put your oxygen mask on first.

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.

Life is too complicated not to need some help and support from time to time. I believe it takes a certain amount of bravery to recognize when we need help, and even more to seek it out. In order to provide the best possible support specific to you and your situation, I am most interested in getting to know you, your goals, and your expectations for therapy. I have a relaxed approach and have created a warm environment in which you can feel comfortable right away.

I believe strongly in creating a safe, open and non-judgmental environment in order for individuals to feel comfortable expressing themselves and to work through difficult and complex issues. I am a therapist bilingual in English and Mandarin, and I have experience working with anxiety, trauma, depression, grief and loss, family and relationship issues, life transitions, amongst others. I see adults, children and adolescents.

Clients come to me because they feel stuck. Sometimes they are in a major life transition, like starting a new relationship, moving, welcoming a baby, experiencing a gender transition, or seeing an adult child leave the home. Other times they feel paralyzed by grief, whether that’s the ending of a relationship, the loss of a loved one or friend, a hard medical diagnosis, or some other form of loss or profound change. Whatever it is that brings you to therapy, we will move through it together.

My passion and commitment is to assist individuals, couples, and families in their journey toward growth, healing, and fulfillment. I understand that reaching out for therapy can be a vulnerable and courageous decision. I want to assure you that I am here to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, emotions, and aspirations. Building trust is at the core of any therapeutic relationship, and I recognize its significance in fostering positive change. As your therapist, my approach is rooted in empathy, compassion, and genuine care. I value and respect the uniqueness of each individual.

My roots as a therapist and healer have seeded over the past thirty-five years, bringing substance and depth to my one-on-one sessions with couples and individuals. During this time, I have maintained a private practice, which has always consisted of process-oriented consciousness work -- a means by which to enter safely and deeply into the inner landscape of the psyche for positive and real world change. My results-oriented approach to psychology is derived from the commitment to a conscious process and the intrapsychic relationship one can access when choosing to turn toward--and look at--oneself.
