My specialty and passion is therapy for intimacy, couples, sexual dysfunctions, and relationship concerns. I work with individuals and couples who have difficulties adapting to the dynamics of an intimate relationship. This can be the result of traumatic experiences, the need for personal exploration, and/or sexual dysfunctions. The clients I typically work with are disappointed with their relationship and/or sex life, they may have experienced betrayal, they might avoid sex because it’s painful, stressful, or anxiety-producing, or want to expand their sex horizons (e.g., Kink, Vanilla, BDSM, etc.).

Hello! I am a Licensed Psychologist and the founder of PEAKPsychLA - a private psychotherapy practice in Westwood near UCLA. I work with teenagers, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, intense or overwhelming emotions, and alcohol/drug misuse. I also work with people living with major mood disorders and personality disorders. If you are struggling with any of these experiences, want to feel better, and are looking for someone you can trust to help, I provide individual therapy, couples, and/or family therapy, in person and via remote telehealth services.

I use Positive Psychology to inspire and improve lives. I'm told I'm warm, down to earth, and that I have a good sense of humor. . I believe therapy needs to show results. Not years later — but soon. I see both individuals and couples. My approach combines Positive Psychology and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), with mindfulness and a powerful mix of the best approaches known to modern psychology. I take an uplifting holistic approach.

My top priority as a therapist is to ensure that my clients feel safe and heard because I believe that the relationship between therapist and client can be therapeutic in and of itself. Everyone is different, and the intricacies and nuances of the human experience propel my genuine curiosity about you and what you experience, feel, and think. Through various interventions and modalities, grounded in the humanistic beliefs that the you are the expert in your own life and that every client is different, I hope to help you grow into who you want to be.

Just as there is no single model of a person, there is no single model of a solution. I work with the whole person, not only the symptoms, but in a broader, more comprehensive fashion, developing self knowledge of our blind spots. These things that we do that bring us back to the same place, experiencing the same feelings and the depression, anxiety and fear that accompany these states. All we will work with is what you bring to the meetings. A dialogue for understanding and hopefully, change. This can be a long process, as many powerful things can be. It will also be rewarding and it will give you the insight to create your future.

Right now you may be in need and suffering? The body has a deep intelligence and sometimes our attention is required to feel well again. Take a moment to notice that you're breathing. When you're ready take two or three long deep breaths. You have more control than you think.

I work with adults, children, teens, and families to address relational conflicts, behavioral and academic problems, and general family dysfunction. I also support parents, and work with them to better understand the underlying causes of their children's acting-out, self-harming, and/or self-isolating behaviors.

I provide psychotherapy to teens, adults, and couples with various challenges and life stressors. I am passionate about working with clients from various cultural backgrounds, and I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for my work. Through getting to know you and your unique story, I work to help you develop insight, build self-awareness, and embrace acceptance and positive change. My specialty areas include relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

I am passionate about providing affirmative therapy that honors and celebrates the richness of each individual's identity and experience. Whether you're exploring your gender, seeking support during transition, struggling with relationships, or simply want to become your most authentic self, I am here to help guide you on your path. I use a collaborative approach to therapy, working alongside clients to uncover personal insights and develop strategies for overcoming challenges. I focus on fostering self-awareness, self-acceptance, and developing strong support networks outside of the therapy office.

Your relationship has left you feeling resentful, disconnected, and lost as you navigate a sinking ship. The two of you were once a dynamic couple. From the outside looking in, you have happy children, successful careers, and vibrant social lives. Yet, beneath this outward facade lies a silent struggle. You’ve become entangled in life’s demands. The weight of daily responsibilities has cast shadows on your once happy lives. You’ve lost trust in each other. The intimacy is all but gone and you feel as if things have become stagnant. You long to go back to the beginning of the relationship when things were easier and you were happy.

I believe the world could be a better place if we could all be kinder to one another. Working together and building strong connections can be helpful when struggling with life’s ups and downs. As a therapist, I help with academic issues, body image, self-esteem, self-harm, technology addiction, and sexual assault. I use a holistic, patient-centered approach to create a safe and supportive environment. By rewiring the brain, we create changes in our thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors.

I provide a safe, comfortable, and healing space in which to explore feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. I help individuals (adults and adolescents), couples, and families explore challenges, patterns, preferences, successes, and strengths. I strongly believe that greater awareness is the key to a personal growth. Increased awareness leads to acceptance (self and otherwise) and actions more reflective of one's values and desires.

My familiarity with several languages, my studies in philosophy of religions, and my experience in traveling to dozens of countries, have enabled me to make quick and strong connections with my patients , and build long lasting relationships.

With 30 years experience, I bring an empathic, compassionate & affirming energy to my work & to my clients. I work well with both adult men & women of all ages, especially those willing to 'do the work' needed to grow, thrive, introspect and lead lives of happiness, empowerment, joy, fulfillment & freedom. I've been blessed w/ many miracles on my life's journey & eagerly desire to assist seekers in experiencing and creating their own miracles. I believe in the inherent good & deserving nature of clients & desire to have them work on, out & through the issues which have limited or impaired their lives!

Recovery, whether it's from substances or other destructive behavior, is all about change and healing. It isn't easy. If you're willing to work, it will occur. It takes willingness, strength and courage to complete the process. I've worked in addictions recovery for 18 years and my personal recovery process for 23 Yes, it's difficult. The challenge is to not let fear stop you from whatever change you are striving for. Remember: "It doesn't take courage to do something you're not afraid of. It takes courage to be afraid and to do it anyway."
