I will use our relationship to help guide you to go to the deep and uncomfortable places that you may not feel safe to go to alone. I use empathy and compassion to help you navigate through life’s challenges. I will join you on your journey towards healing so that together, we can work to overcome your struggles and achieve your goals. While we might not fully be able to eliminate problems, we can learn ways to make difficult times and experiences more manageable. My hope is to help guide you to a place of inner peace.

Awareness: this is where the change begins.

4worldlovers: Treatment for Individuals & Couples with: Stress & Trauma, Neurodevelopment Disorders, Grief, Weightism

I am a licensed psychologist and registered art therapist. I have been providing clinical services since 1999 and I am a professor at California School of Professional Psychology with a small private practice.

I use science-backed methods, including from my own research, to treat depression, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, high functioning Autism / Asperger’s Disorder, loss and grief, weight control, and relationship issues.

I use proven brain-based approaches such as biofeedback, neurofeedback, indivudal emotion focused therapy, emotion focused tapping, mindfulness, music, and art to realign and reattune the nervous system. Therapy sessions are tailored to meet individual needs and interests.

My Beverly Hills-Therapy practice is located at 640 S. San Vicente Blvd # 264, Los Angeles CA 90048 but I see many of my clients virtually or in an outdoor studio in the Miracle Mile District. At this time, I do not accept insurance. I provide a sliding scale and superbills. Please let me know how I can serve you and your family.

Neurodevelopmental problems include disorders such as attention deficit disorders and high functioning autism (sometimes called Asperger’s). I work on clients on problems that are frequently related to social skills acquisition, non-verbal interaction, paying attention, sensory processing, and social issues. Other issues related to the nervous system functions are sleep disturbances as well as anxiety and stress disorders.

The sound and safe protocol includes specific tailored music that will be practiced in-session and at home.

Neurofeedback* is provided in person. During the meeting you will be watching some visual material which will be supportive of adaptive nervous system response that generalizes to day to day functioning

I understand that trauma results in negative adversity in a person’s personal and social life. We use emotion-focused therapy techniques and brain based interventions to help repair relationship issues stemming from trauma and grief.

We can also use art therapy, which is proven to reduce traumatic symptoms. It assists clients in restorative experiences, positive emotions, and accepting and honoring loss. Art making also promotes mindfulness of the here and now, providing relief from the hold of the past.

A helpful technology called “heart math,” is also offered. It relies on a biofeedback sensor that is connected to an app on your phone as you practice breathing meditation. This measures your heart rate variability. This method includes optional visualizations and art-making.

I help clients address the emotional, cognitive, psychological, and pragmatic aspects of living with weight. Emotional factors, stress, social isolation, and family background contribute to mindless and comfort eating. I can also assist clients explore which food choices and food eating schedules might work for them.

My mindfulness and self-compassionate eating approach to weightism is process-oriented. We will experiment with positive feelings such as acknowledgment and recognition, slowing down, curiosity, trust, and acceptance.

I am trained in several mindfulness approaches and we will use reflective practices to assist and support you on your journey.

Art therapy provides the benefits of expressive non-verbal communication. Art‑making provides important clues to difficult issues such as depression, loss, social trauma, and developmental changes that may be too painful or overwhelming to communicate with words alone.
