ADHD Therapists in California

I am a clinical psychologist practicing in West Los Angeles, with a foundation in psychoanalytic therapy. I earned my doctorate from the California Institute of Integral Studies and completed postdoctoral training at the Wright Institute Los Angeles. In my clinical work I demonstrate careful listening, conceptual rigor, and sustained attention to unconscious processes, language, and relational dynamics. I am particularly interested in how symptoms, impasses, and forms of suffering are structured, and in how meaning emerges over time through the analytic process. I value approaches that resist quick reassurance or technique-driven solutions in favor of patience, precision, and respect for the client's subjectivity. In the consulting room, I provide an environment where complexity can be thought rather than reacted to. My work emphasizes tolerating uncertainty, attending to transference and resistance, and remaining ethically responsive to power, dependency, and responsibility as they arise in treatment. I offer individual and group therapy for teens and adults, with in-person sessions in Beverly Hills and telehealth throughout California. Clinical supervision is also available.

As a Psychiatry Provider, I am honored to play a central role in delivering thoughtful, patient-centered care within a supportive and nonjudgmental environment. I employ a professional and compassionate approach, collaborating closely with each individual to understand their unique experiences and objectives. My focus is on cultivating trust, promoting open communication, and developing treatment plans that are both evidence-based and tailored to each patient's specific needs.

I help high-achieving, stressed, or anxious individuals who may be navigating perfectionism, day-to-day burnout, or the unique challenges of being twice-exceptional. I support clients in addressing challenges such as setting boundaries, achieving work/life balance, overcoming people-pleasing tendencies, and breaking free from rigid expectations that can sometimes feel impossible to meet. As a therapist, I strive to bring warmth, humor, and a nonjudgmental space where clients can feel seen and supported. I takes a collaborative approach, helping clients find balance, understand their strengths, and build a more sustainable way of living that aligns with their goals and values. In my free time, I enjoys reading, playing video games, and spending time with my cat and guinea pig. I believe therapy works best when grounded in genuine connection, and I strive to meet each client as a whole person, not just the challenges they face.

I believe that we are all wired for connection and that our relationships deeply shape how we understand ourselves, others, and the world around us. When connection feels uncertain, unsafe, or threatened, we often develop ways of coping that help us protect ourselves and maintain a sense of safety. While these strategies may have served an important purpose at one time, they can sometimes become patterns that leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled. My work is centered on helping clients explore these patterns with curiosity, compassion, and care. I offer a depth-oriented approach that supports clients in building greater self-awareness, understanding their emotional world, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Together, we create space for healing, integration, and new ways of relating that feel more grounded, meaningful, and fulfilling.
