"Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time" - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Change will look different for everyone, especially depending on the goals you have set for yourself. Sometimes, the realization that there are other possibilities (and that hope for a better future can even exist) is the very first step. Maybe you have realized that you are ready to explore your potential and to develop more insight into how you are engaging with the world around you. I would be honored to guide you on this journey to increase clarity, self-awareness, and empowerment.

I offer a personalized, holistic, and integrative process that combines psychotherapy, sex therapy, practical education, and mind-body work to help clients deepen self-understanding and create change that feels sustainable in real life.
Intimacy and connection are part of being human. They shape how we feel, how we love, and how we relate to others. I work with individuals and couples who want a space to work on themselves without feeling diagnosed, stigmatized, or treated like something is wrong with them. They are often working on communication, desire differences, sexual anxiety, shame, trust, and disconnection, while also understanding how stress, lifestyle, and relationship patterns affect intimacy. They want support to explore their values and beliefs around pleasure and build a more grounded, empowered sense of sexual health and well-being.

As a multiethnic, multicultural woman of color, child of an immigrant, and trauma-informed licensed clinical social worker with a background in gender studies, I approach my work with an intersectional lens. I consider the whole human being as well as the various systems they are part of and the effect these systems have on a person’s life. It is important to me that I am mindful of how my client perceives the world and how the world perceives them. My therapeutic approach is anti-racist, anti-oppressive, culturally affirming, queer-affirming, kink-affirming, and client-centered.

I specialize in men's mental health, sex therapy, and couples work in Beverly Hills with nearly 20 years of clinical experience.
You might be successful, capable, and outwardly "fine", but internally something feels off. If you're here, something likely isn't working the way it used to, and that can be exhausting or quietly destabilizing. Men come to me when anxiety, anger, shame, or sexual concerns start affecting confidence or relationships. Couples reach out when communication breaks down, intimacy feels strained, or the same fight keeps happening. You want clarity, real connection, and a relationship that feels solid and alive, not just functional.

I completed a two year training at UCLA which resulted in becoming certified by the American Association of Couples and Sex Therapists (AACAST) as a Couples and Sex Therapist.
Choosing a therapist is no easy task, and with couples therapy it is essential to work with someone trained extensively in the work. Relationships are the core of society and our lives, and yet we are never taught about the basics of communication. Beyond that, I work on what keeps couples from applying the skills. I'm am an active therapist willing to challenge problematic thinking and behaviors that keep couples from feeling connected. My work centers on teaching how to talk about, and listen to, feelings to build empathy and connection. Learn what works and how to get closer to those you care about (including yourself!).
