Therapists in Beverly Hills, CA

I am a licensed Counseling Psychologist whose work is dedicated to supporting clients on their journey to achieving wellness of mind, body and spirit. I utilize a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to create a safe environment in which we can explore how identity factors, personal strengths, experiences and obstacles may influence responses to difficult emotions and events.Through a holistic, integrative framework, I collaborate with my clients to identify relevant, measurable goals and identify pathways to achieving their fullest potential. Customized approaches are developed based on each person's unique needs, values and preferences.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to engage in a supportive, collaborative, and dynamic partnership. Therapy is a creative process of self-exploration, self-discovery and self-understanding. With my clients' goals and needs always leading the work, I draw from my expertise in psychodynamic models of "talk therapy," dance/movement therapy, EMDR Therapy, and experiential mindfulness practices, to help my clients become unstuck and embody health, growth, and change.

I work with a variety of clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, addiction, and grief and loss, but I am particularly passionate about working with people who struggle with sex therapy and sexual dysfunction issues. As an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist, I enjoy assisting people in enhancing their sexuality and sexual pleasure, and building self-confidence. I believe that my role as a therapist is to help clients rid themselves of shame and guilt, get in touch with pleasure and joy, and experience more fulfilling relationships.

As a dedicated therapist, my primary focus lies in offering specialized services to adults grappling with the burdens of depression, trauma, and anxiety. In recognizing the profound impact these challenges can have on one's life, my therapeutic approach is grounded in fostering healing and genuine happiness. I believe that happiness is not merely the absence of pain but a state of emotional well-being and fulfillment. I utilize a wide range of therapeutic methods and skills, incorporating trauma-informed therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and grief counseling techniques, to assist clients in handling their day to day struggles.

I have been a licensed therapist for over 20 years working with a wide range of population on variety of issues helping them work through social , emotional, behavioral and relational difficulties. Life doesn’t always happen as we wish. Being in a trusting, safe and accepting place with the right guidance makes it easier to find your personal path towards a more pleasant life.

I have worked in the helping profession for over half my life. Finding the right therapist is important. I will work with you in a safe environment to carefully explore what matters most to you. I believe individuals need space to discover the strength within, face difficult, frightening, painful experiences. I also believe in nurturing the hopeful side of things; allowing you to explore what could be. When we work together you are not alone.

I'm a Trauma, Anxiety, and Grief specialist who helps people reconnect to meaning and fulfillment through the human experience. I provide a non-judgmental and supportive space which allows us to actively engage in core explorations where real and effective changes can be made. I use an integrated approach tailoring evidence based therapies such as CBT and ACT to each client's unique needs. After 10 years of experience I can confidently share client results include feeling calmer, centered, and re-energized with a greater sense of control, direction and empowerment in their relationships with themselves and others.

Stepping into therapy can be an empowering step towards healing and growth. Many individuals seek therapy for a variety of reasons, such as depression, anxiety, phobias, relationship issues, and a lack of meaning in their lives. If you are driven to grow, develop, and explore your own path in life, then psychotherapy can be a powerful tool to help you live with higher levels of awareness and consciousness. I do integrate BrainSpotting and EMDR to help access parts of the brain that are difficult to reach through conventional therapy methods, allowing allowing for deeper healing and transformation in just a few sessions,

I am a specialist in grief, loss and trauma encompassing the entire spectrum of women's maternal mental health. I help women(and their partners) with healthy pregnancies, postpartum depression and anxiety, pregnancy loss, terminations and infertility - whether through stillbirth, miscarriage, late term loss, IVF/IUI failures, selective termination or pregnancy releases (aka abortion). Sadly, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage and 1 in 8 will have trouble with conception. I blend psychology, ritual, spirituality, reiki, energy healing, guided meditations and more to help facilitate and support women, couples and families.

Welcome! I've been in practice since 1990, specializing in helping people who've been victims of trauma (sexual, emotional or physical abuse, assault, harassment, as well as traumatic injuries, illnesses, accidents, disasters or climate distress), in child or adulthood. I also work with people having difficulties with major life transitions, such as moving away to college or a new city; divorce or bereavement; emotional challenges in changing careers or finishing training programs; or eating/body image. Helping people break destructive or unhappy relationship patterns is another area of my work.

I came to the practice of psychotherapy because I believe life's crises, however painful, also provide opportunities for profound change and growth. Therapy should be a safe space for patients to assess what is meaningful and what has been outgrown, what has been lost and what can be gained by working through that loss. Many of my clients work (or play) in the arts; many are trauma survivors. I run a weekly trauma group for women with PTSD. I am an empty nester and particularly interested in women dealing the changes that come with aging - women facing the "third act" of their lives.

For over 35 years I have been treating adults and adolescents in both brief and long-term psychotherapy. I am particularly drawn to working with clients challenged by depression, grief and loss, anxiety and trauma. I believe that facing our wounds is a necessary first step in treatment, but that once the trouble areas are identified the most important work lies in cultivating personal strengths.

I am accepting Private or PPO clients. Early parenthood, Postpartum, pregnancy, loss and fertility can come with feelings of overwhelm, worry, sadness, anger, frustration, and not feeling like yourself. You might be having thoughts that feel scary to you. Look, no one expects to feel horrible during pregnancy or after having a baby, but a lot of moms and parents do. And sometimes your partner doesn't understand either, or everyone just expects you to be happy and grateful. That's too much pressure and it's not real life. You need to feel heard, understood and supported. And you need skills and tools to help your healing along.

There is really no issue to big or too small to bring to therapy. I have seen people go through so much positive change because of their work in therapy and think it is such an awesome process. Just because we can go through life in survival mode and bouncing off our ups and downs, does not mean we should. I love to talk about everything therapy, so I encourage people to reach out.

As your therapist, I specialize in helping you identify and overcome the obstacles standing in the way of your happiness. Together, we'll work to dismantle these barriers and explore alternative paths to fulfillment. I'll assist you in recognizing what's effective, what's not, and what's preventing you from implementing positive changes in your life. Through our collaborative efforts, you'll uncover new coping mechanisms to navigate through challenges and equip yourself with valuable tools for ongoing growth and resilience.

In my family practice, I often work with children, teens and parents following a meaningful loss, through the challenges of a life transition or a period of anxiety and stress. Many of my clients are processing grief and loss, which comes in may forms.

We all have times in life where we find ourselves presented us with challenges that can feel overwhelming. As a gerontologist and clinical social worker, I specialize in working with dementia, Alzheimer's, grief, chronic illness, and the complexities of aging. I warmly welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds.
