Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Beverly Hills, CA

Most people who come to see me are not short on insight. They can name the pattern, trace it back to where it began, and still watch themselves repeat it. That gap, between knowing something and living differently, is where my work begins.

I work with individuals, couples, and families who want to understand not only what is happening in their lives, but why it has been so hard to change. Sometimes that means facing truths about yourself that are uncomfortable to look at. Often it means seeing how the very things that once protected you have quietly begun to limit you.

I’m an active presence in the room. I won’t simply listen and nod. I’ll ask the questions others tiptoe around, name what’s hard to see from the inside, and say it with enough care that it can actually be heard. The goal isn’t only to understand yourself better. It’s to live, relate, and choose differently because of it.

Is this the right fit?

People often find their way here when they…

Find that success hasn’t resolved what they hoped it would.

Want honest feedback, not just reassurance.

Keep arriving at the same place in life or in relationships.

Are surrounded by people and still feel profoundly lonely.

Have come to define who they are by what they achieve.

Find that the ways they once avoided discomfort no longer bring relief.

The work

Individuals

A private space to understand your patterns and change what isn’t working.
Couples

For when the same argument keeps returning, and what’s underneath it needs attention.
Families

Helping families understand one another, not just manage one another.
Intensives

Concentrated days of work, for moments that need more than a weekly hour.

How we begin

It starts with a private consultation, a chance to talk about what’s bringing you in, and for both of us to sense whether this is the right fit. You don’t need to have it all figured out beforehand.

If we decide to work together, the first few sessions are about getting the full picture: your history, what’s happening now, and what you’d most like to be different. From there, we shape the work around you, including how often we meet and where we focus.

Most people meet weekly. Some need more during a demanding stretch, and others need less as things settle. The rhythm can change as your life does.
