Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PSY 31901) & Supervisor (she/her)

Founder, Inner Guide Therapy Los Angeles

​

Therapy is about having new experiences in an intimate relationship with someone who is your witness, teammate, challenger, and cheerleader all at the same time. As a clinician, I aim to be as present for you as I can, help you get curious about what you need, and encourage you to grow in the direction you want.

 

The things we discuss together can be heavy and often grief is a necessary growing pain. I tend to use my own personal resources, including a lot of humor, perspective-shifting, cultural references, and psychoeducation to make the painful parts of our time together as easeful as possible.

 

As a bilingual child of Jewish refugee immigrants and first-generation college student, I have a personal relationship to biculturalism, intergenerational trauma, and the evolving transience of the American dream. I am an eternal student of the mind and human condition and attend trainings voraciously (currently I am investigating hypnosis for PTSD as of this writing). I love animals, particularly my cat, Lychee, and my recent rescue pup, Matisse. Matisse is currently in training to join me in the office as an animal-assisted therapy dog.

​

Over the past 12 years, I’ve worked in a variety of inpatient and outpatient settings, including schools, hospitals, community clinics, and residential treatment centers. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in psychology from Cornell University, I earned my doctorate at Yeshiva University in New York City and completed my APA-accredited internship at Nassau University Medical Center with a focus on psychological assessment and treatment of adolescents and families. I am a former member of the Board of the Group Psychotherapy Association of Los Angeles (GPALA).

I would love to hear from you and hope you reach out today!
