Welcome! I am an experienced clinical psychologist based in Beverly Hills, CA with over 10 years of experience in providing psychotherapy services.

The decision to pursue therapy is a significant and sometimes difficult milestone. It means an aspect of one's life is challenging or painful or static. It means change is needed. Change can come in the form of a deeper understanding of one's self, a shift in behavior, a growing sense of tranquility, an expanded ability to connect, a reduction in destructive behavior and an overall improvement in career, relationships and self esteem.

My work is to uncover the obstacles that are in the way of life feeling more peaceful and fulfilled and to facilitate growth and healing. This important process requires a setting of safety, warmth and wisdom, which I seek to make available in my private practice.

Expertise

Based on my extensive training, education and life experiences, I approach the therapeutic process using a psychodynamic and relational framework while also employing cognitive behavioral techniques.

This combination provides an opportunity to create a therapeutic connection, deeply explore the underlying issues at the root of the presenting symptoms, and create strategies to shift thoughts and behaviors.

About Me

My journey to become a psychologist was an unusual one. In 1998, I graduated from Northwesterns' Kellogg School of management with an MBA and worked in the corporate setting for many years. While experiencing great success in this arena, I always felt a pull towards the world of helping others. After many years in the business world, I ultimately began my pursuit of a doctorate in clinical psychology.

Featured on

I have been fortunate to secure a position as an expert in the psychology community. I appear regularly on various TV and radio outlets including FOX, CNN, Dr Drew's podcast and other local news programs to offer my opinion on various areas of expertise.

I am regularly asked to contribute to various publications to offer topical expertise and can be found in the virtual pages of self.com, yahoo.com, foxnews.com and others.

I believe that healing comes from a willingness to deeply experience, explore, and feel one's emotions that are related to both present and past circumstances. Unexamined feelings can often lead to unwanted or painful symptoms. Therapy is not magic, but rather a process that requires work, commitment, and faith. Change often comes as a whisper rather than as a thunderbolt. However, I deeply believe it is the slow, steady shifts that ultimately lead to enduring, long lasting changes.

Please feel free to contact me. I would like to discuss your unique circumstances, concerns and hopes so we can explore the possibility of working together and begin the process of gaining relief and healing.
