Personal Comments:
As a psychologist in Beverly Hills I treat a variety of issues, including Trauma (especially sexual abuse/assault). I guide survivors through the process of overcoming shame and working through the feelings that can prevent a productive and happy life. I emphasize collaboration--your self-wisdom and desire for transformation, and my knowledge and experience make a powerful combination. I will support you, and challenge you when that's what's needed. I am hopeful and confident in your ability to create positive change in your life, and feel honored to be a part of your personal healing process.

My approach to treatment is eclectic. I use a psychodynamic approach to understand clients' relationship patterns resulting from life experiences. I also use a cognitive-behavioral approach when clients' difficulties stem from unproductive ways of thinking, and help them understand the connection between thoughts and behavior so that they can develop productive ways of thinking and behaving.

I have a strong background and interest in multicultural psychology. I consider the sociopolitical context in which my clients' symptoms develop and appear--I explore how clients' cultural identities (their ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.) influence their experience of the problem that brings them to therapy.
