I am a clinical psychologist and founder of COPE Psychological Center and I specialize in addiction, trauma, and mood disorders. In addition to my practice, I also manage a residential treatment program and am on faculty at UCLA. My goal in therapy is to utilize evidence-based treatments to help you understand the parts of your life most impacting you so that you can gain the tools, insights, and skills necessary to live the life you want. I hope to help you write new mental scripts, engage in more intentional behaviors, and ultimately have a new emotional experience that will provide the pathway to the life you want.

You're smart and motivated and professional. You've managed to piece together a life and career. But behind the curtain, you feel the lurking demons that others would be shocked to know about. You often feel anxious and isolated, despite having people around you, like you're walking around with a sign on your forehead that says "incompetent." Maybe it's hard to trust in relationships or you're constantly fighting off reminders of prior traumas, whether an abusive or neglectful childhood or something more recent. Many of my clients struggle with binge eating or disordered eating or other addictive behaviors.

If the time has come to make some much needed changes in your life, give me a call and let's get to work. I know it's hard to choose a therapist, and even harder to make that first call, or email. However, only action can begin the process of creating the future you desire. I try to keep therapy, efficient, pragmatic, creative, and even fun when possible. Thanks for your consideration, and I am happy to answer any questions you may have.

Ann believes that one of the most important components of her work is to engage her clients with a strength based, solution focused mindset.

Ann has experience in assisting people with family and life transitions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety and child and adult ADHD. She is certified in Managing Adaptive Practices (MAP) and Seeking Safety. Ann is also certified to teach relationship education courses (World Class Marriage and World Class Relationships for Work and Home).

A mentor of mine once said, “No one ever sits you down as a kid and warns you that this whole being a human thing is intense. Most of the time we all walk around pretending like it’s not a big deal.” This lack of preparation creates a profound disconnection that negatively affects mental health. In psychotherapy, I aim to work collaboratively with my clients in order to help them reconnect to the moment to moment experience of their life and improve their overall wellbeing.

I engage in conversations that explore the ideas and understandings you have of yourself, others and of the world. Together we identify your strengths and values so that you may generate productive and effective choices that enable you to achieve the goals in life you desire.

"I focus on daily life coping strategies with teenagers, individuals, and couples. At times we all get stuck and some of our old habits might not be working well for us. We may need to create new behaviors, thoughts, and feelings to improve our quality of life and relationships with others."

I am a therapist and energy healer who works at the intersections of healing, spirituality, and social change. I support people on their journeys of liberation and reclaiming their sovereignty and wholeness. Prior to being a therapist, I worked as an immigrant rights attorney. I wanted to support people in getting free from oppressive and broken systems. Over time, I realized that we deeply internalize many of these oppressive systems and I became more interested in how we can liberate our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls from their harm and reinforcement.

My mission is to help you find ways to manage symptoms of anxiety and depression by helping you find the hidden problem that is keeping you from feeling better. With therapy, we can collaboratively work on balancing your thoughts, improve your ability to be mindful, regulate your emotions, tolerate stress, and improve your relationships. The goal is to gain self-confidence and awareness to make the necessary shifts in your life.

It can be difficult to recognize the need and/or desire to see a therapist. With clients, I focus on how and where you find meaning in your life in addition to exploring your past and its influence on your present. I have experience in treating anxiety, depression, adjustment to life changes, loss & trauma, and sexual abuse.

As a clinical psychologist I spend time studying, in an attempt to understand the problem(s) that an individual client would like to address. I focus on a client's strengths, capabilities and goals in order to find understanding, meaning and/or a solution to the problem(s) that blocks or interferes with their happiness. Working collaboratively, I help clients increase their awareness of certain triggers and psychosomatic reactions to the stress that causes unsafe and harmful coping mechanisms.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, or like you are still grieving? Perhaps you’ve noticed that you are drinking more than usual? Allow me to help you improve your mental health using your strengths to adapt to stressors instead of engaging in negative behaviors. With my encouragement, you will learn to overcome or manage the issues you are untangling and move forward - where you deserve to be. Additionally, I have specializations in medication-assisted alcohol abatement, divorce mediation, and the psychological aftermath of negative psychedelic experiences.

You are enough. Past experiences may have created a negative inner voice undercutting your self-worth and capacity for joy. People pleasing and perfectionism may have left you needing to do or be more, unable to enjoy the present. We can work together in a secure and non-judgmental space to rewrite your narrative and silence the self-talk. We will identify your own needs and prioritize them, allowing you to be present with grace and acceptance as you navigate healing past wounds or face life's challenges. Therapy will empower you to recognize your intrinsic strengths, forging a new path toward a life of meaning and fulfillment.

Are you looking for a doctor that can help improve your overall quality of life and help alleviate symptoms? Psychotherapy can provide a forum to alleviate symptoms that hinder growth and well-being and can provide you with the needed insight to be able to manage symptoms and provide relief. Through a collaborative approach I can help you overcome the challenges and obstacles that can interfere with your goals & ambitions. I can aid in the facilitation of helping you develop the needed skills and mind set to improve your quality of life. Additionally, my professional services include providing psychological, psychodiagnostic, personality, and psycho-educational assessments.

I am often able to identify emotional and psychological obstacles that are preventing people from achieving the quality of life that they desire. I strive to assist people with personal, professional and work related concerns to achieve goals that will improve the quality of their life. I seek to facilitate self-respect and build on existing psychological strengths to assist people in developing a more empowered and confident self image. The overall primary goal of treatment in this office is to assist people in making choices that will increase the likelihood of their achieving more satisfying personal and professional success.
