Your child is faced with many stressors in his/her life which can lead to various issues such as anxiety, depression, substance use, academic problems and more. Children and adolescents need someone who will provide a place space to express themselves, empathize, and teach them healthier ways to cope with their struggles that will help them go on to lead healthy lives. As a parent you need someone who will support you through this difficult time and give your family the skills to grow.

Are you struggling to connect with your child? Do you have difficulty setting boundaries and getting results? PARENTING IS HARD. There are no books or guidelines to follow. Sometimes you just sit there and think, “Where did I go wrong?” or “How did we end up like this?” You want to be a support and help your child while also setting appropriate boundaries and providing a good example. I help parents connect with their children and bridge the gap in communication. Children and adolescents tend to feel misunderstood by adults, especially their parents. My specialty is assisting in creating that understanding relationship, while also allowing parents to maintain the appropriate boundaries necessary to allow their children to thrive.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles is a psychotherapy practice that specializes in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety, depression, and a whole multitude of other disorders and psychological problems. We are one of the few CBT centers in the country to use only licensed doctoral-level therapists, ensuring the highest quality of care for our clients. All of our therapists are expert in CBT, many of whom teach CBT at the graduate and post-graduate levels. At Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Los Angeles, we are proud to serve West Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a short-term, highly focused therapy that has been shown to be the best treatment for numerous anxiety and depression, as well as a host of other problems. Unlike traditional talk-therapy, which often focuses on early childhood, cognitive behavioral therapy is present-focused, highly goal-oriented, and active. The CBT treatment approach allows significant improvement to occur much earlier than in traditional talk therapy. As a result, cognitive behavioral therapy can help you to end treatment sooner, teaching you to become your own best resource to solve problems. Overwhelming research suggests cognitive behavioral therapy is the most effective treatment for most disorders, with numerous studies supporting CBT treatment for depression and anxiety.

I bring a compassionate sense of mindfulness to the therapeutic relationship. I combine psychodynamic styles, to explore one’s past, with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to create changes in the present, and Positive Psychology, to fully access the moment and one’s strengths. I work with individuals and couples and am truly honored to help facilitate growth and healing in my clients' lives. I love my work and am so rewarded by your strength and ability to experience happiness and wholeness.

I have been in practice for over 15 years, and have found that rather than waking up each day and approaching the day as the one we believe we are supposed to have, I help clients reach for the kind of day they want to have. I work with individuals, couples, children and families, and engage with them in the dynamic that they bring in. Once we define the parts of that dynamic that is not functioning at an optimal level for them, we acknowledge it, address it, process why it exists and then attempt to reconfigure it so that all parties are closer to their desired experience. Rather than approach a therapeutic situation from one particular perspective, I use an ecclectic array of modalities so that I may reach each client in a way that meets their needs. I work Mondays through Fridays, from 8 am til 7 pm. My office is conveniently located in Beverly Hills, with easy parking.

Are you looking to make a positive change in your life but not quite sure what or how? Are there transitions in your life and you are unsure of how to cope with them? Do you have children and adolescents that you are finding hard to relate to? Do you feel stressed because of everything life throws at you? As your clinician, I want to work together to find a solution to these challenges. As humans, we should not have to deal with daily stress as a part of our lives and we shouldn’t have to figure it out all on our own. I specialize in working with children and adolescents. These two age populations are crucial in human development. During these stages of life, children experience many confusing emotions that relate to self identity, peer relationships, family relationships, life transitions and school. Working with children that range from 2-18 years old has allowed me to develop my knowledge with this delicate population. Working with children and adolescents, I have been trained to use different theoretical approaches, that which includes systemic, cognitive behavioral, postmodern, and humanistic. I also have experience working in the school setting providing counseling support and working within special education. My role is to provide support not only to the child, but also to the parents and family.
