Psychologist, PsyD

I am passionate about helping a child or
teen
struggling to manage emotional or behavioral disturbances. They may be struggling with depression or anxiety that comes as a result of trauma or significant loss, or that arises out of every day pressure to do well in school or extracurriculars. Growing up comes with growing pains, and therapy is no different. I want my clients (and their families) to be motivated to participate and engage in sessions, and practice learned skills in their home, school, and community. I hope my clients develop self confidence and begin to take ownership over treatment, and over their mental health.

Are you worried about your child's eating? Has your child lost weight? Are you having trouble figuring out how to get him or her to eat? Are you feeling scared? Perhaps your
teen
is receiving eating disorder treatment that excludes you and you want to play a more active role. Maybe other treatments haven't helped. I can help you help your
teen
with an eating disorder heal and become a healthy independent young adult who can go about the business of building his or her life. I wrote, "When Your

I will encourage self-exploration, self-expression, and transformation, whether you seek therapy for yourself, your
teen
, or with your partner.
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.

Would you like to make some small changes that will have a BIG impact on your family-or professional-life? Are you or your child experiencing stress and frustration dealing with friendships or family relationships? Are teachers and family members saying your child's behavior is out of control? Do you wish you could talk to your parent or child without yelling or always having it turn into a fight? If you do, I'd love to help.

In working with children and their families, I have developed experience with infants, parent-infant play and feeding interactions,
teen
pregnancy and
teen
parenting, court-ordered or volunteer parenting groups, academic concerns and IEP advocacy, pervasive developmental disorders and Regional Center advocacy, crisis counseling, divorce, couples, adults and family work.
Is it ever difficult to understand your child's behavior or your
teen
's angst? Do they speak a language or behave in a way you find challenging? Children from infancy through adolescence can seem unmanageable at times causing parents to feel overwhelmed and powerless. Why continue struggling? If your child is having a difficult time at home, in school, or with friends, I can offer insights and recommendations as well as provide a safe space for everyone to learn respectful, meaningful communication directed toward positive change. Let me help you and your family get there together.

** I offer services for individuals and relationships/couples -- in-person and Telehealth** Problems come from a network of experiences. In our work together we will investigate these problems: where they come from, how they are supported, what they are telling you, how you learned they were problems, ways they can be renegotiated, and times when they not present. Nothing is wrong with you, your partner(s), or your
teen
--you are simply dealing with problems the best way you know how. In this exploration we hope to find fresh perspective and build better relationships. Are you ready?

Are you seeking help for a child or
teen
who is struggling emotionally, displaying challenging behaviors, experiencing difficulties in school or in personal relationships? I have over 30 years experience treating children exposed to trauma, whether from family conflict, divorce, exposure to violence, bullying, alienation, accidental injury, or abuse. When children experience trauma, they can become detached from their bodies, numbed to emotion, and stuck in repetitive trauma memories. The work (and play) of therapy is to assist them in reconnecting to those parts of their Self that have "shut down" so that the process of healing can begin.

residential treatment, as a mentor & therapist in multiple settings and as Master's fellow in Cedar-Sinai's Department of Psychiatry.
Are you feeling stuck in some aspect of your life? Are you ready for a change, but are unsure of where or how to start? I would like to help! Life takes on new meaning when we look inward, develop a greater sense of purpose and feel energized. So many things can get us stuck, leaving us unsure or afraid to move forward. I want to help you figure out what is holding you back and enhance your journey of self-discovery. With 15 years of experience working with people, I have learned valuable tools to help you on your journey and have seen people make incredible progress.

It’s so painful to see your
adolescent
in distress. You want to help, but they can be resistant to your ideas, and it feels like they’re withdrawing more every day. You worry that their anxiety, difficulty managing responsibilities, or poor self esteem will prevent them from living up to their potential. It can feel like you’ve tried everything or don’t know where to start, and your concerns about them feel increasingly overwhelming.

Teen Therapists
Adolescence can be a time of both disorientation and discovery. The transitional period can raise questions of independence and identity; as adolescents cultivate their sense of self, they may face difficult choices about academics, friendship, sexuality, gender identity, drugs, and alcohol.
Most teens have a relatively egocentric perspective on life; a state of mind that usually abates with age. They often focus on themselves and believe that everyone else—from a best friend to a distant crush—is focused on them too. They may grapple with insecurities and feelings of being judged. Relationships with family members often take a backseat to peer groups, romantic interests, and appearance, which teens perceive as increasingly important during this time.
The transition can naturally lead to anxiety about physical development, evolving relationships with others, and one's place in the larger world. Mild anxiety and other challenges are typical, but serious mental health conditions also emerge during adolescence. Finding a teen therapist in Los Angeles and addressing a disorder early on can help ensure the best possible outcome.
