Hi, I’m Kari, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and Registered Dietitian. I support individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, struggling with an eating disorder, caught in addiction, or navigating a life transition. I have specialized training in the treatment of eating disorders and common co-occurring disorders such as OCD, ADHD, Borderline Personality Disorder, and substance use. I also support people who want to improve their lives by setting healthier boundaries, building confidence, and living more aligned to their values.

Have you ever felt alone, stuck, or overwhelmed trying to figure out who you are? Do you feel trapped in a struggle with food and your appearance? Have you tried to break free only to find yourself back in a battle with your own thoughts? Maybe it is hard to even imagine being free when your self-worth is so closely tied to your body image and when your relationship with food feels so out of control. This way of living is exhausting and can cause destruction in many areas of life. What if freedom from that life was possible? As a therapist specializing in eating disorders, I believe it is possible to find relief from your struggle.

I am not currently taking new clients. I believe that a successful therapeutic relationship is based on careful listening and honest feedback. I help clients cultivate authentic relationships in their lives; both with themselves and others. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and achieve their goals by meeting them where they are in the present moment.

I am a believer in the collaborative process. Before beginning my training as a therapist, I worked as a curator and gallery director working closely with artists, musicians, and other creative professionals. I have a passion for the arts which has informed my interest in therapeutic modes of expression that couple creativity with tools to build self-awareness and a strong sense of self-regard, hope, and pride in one's own journey.

I specialize in helping people who feel stuck in emotionally painful and destructive patterns in life. Life can be lonely and difficult and uncertain. I strive to help you ease your emotional burden and find a lightness in life. Stress has a way of making us forget that we need each other, and that it can be safe and comforting to connect. So, as a therapist, I focus on helping you re-connect with yourself and the people and things you love. I’ll help you stand up tall in your truth even when it’s “messy.”

I have extensive experience working with various evidence-based modalities as well as alternative and somatic therapies. I currently work at Harbor UCLA as a Clinical Director of a Trauma service and as Associate Professor at UCLA, David Geffen School of Medicine. I am Bilingual in Hebrew and English. Areas of specialization: Mood disorders; anxiety disorders; post traumatic stress disorder; life transition and adjustment issues; bereavement and loss; couple and relationship therapy; Family therapy; Parenting strategies; work related stress. I am also available for lectures, and trainings and certifications (Prolonged Exposure)

Do you find that your mood dictates your behaviors? Or do you engage in ineffective ways of communicating your wants and needs to others? My clients learn how emotional dysregulation is a common symptom of depression, anxiety, stress and other mental health conditions. It can lead to negative emotions and a downward spiral of negative self thoughts. Utilizing a variety of evidenced-based practices, I will help you change these behavioral patterns and achieve your life worth living goals. I specialize in providing evidence-based treatment to including but not limited to DBT, CBT and various trauma protocols.

Maybe you've tried couples therapy before, maybe you have tried talking to friends and family, maybe you have read lots of self help books but nothing seems to be changing, have exhausted all resources and now are looking outside for someone to help you and your partner get back to the place where you feel on top of the world? It is one of the most painful places to be when you are in a relationship where you feel that you are not being heard or validated, like you and your partner just keep missing each other. Did you know that the average couple waits SIX years before they seek out professional help.

I completed the Ph.D. program in Psychology, Public Policy, and Law with an emphasis on Criminal Behavior under the umbrella of Forensic Psychology in March 2023, which has increased insight and awareness of the intersection between mental health and criminal justice systems. Additionally, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), I have a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Mindfulness, I am a certified Personality Disorder Provider (C-PD) and Chemical Dependency Specialist (CDS), and I have a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice.

I received my BA from Chapman University and an MS in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Southern California. I am currently enrolled in a Clinical Psychology PhD program at Alliant University. I have multiple years of experience working with diverse individuals and couples facing a wide variety of experiences. I have primarily worked with individuals with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and personality disorders as well as trauma, abuse, and intimate partner violence. I work from a holistic orientation utilizing a variety of methodologies including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and systemic orientations.

Looking closer at what is causing us distress can feel scary or overwhelming. I believe we all have the capacity to change and grow if provided with the right support and tools. I am able to offer evidenced based and solution focused treatment. Whether you are having difficulty in your job, in school, in your relationship, or with friends and family, we can work together to come up with solutions that are right for you. I can teach you skills to manage your daily struggles. I strive to provide a safe and welcoming place for clients of diverse cultural backgrounds.

Welcome! Thank you for considering me. You’ve taken the first steps towards the relief and clarity you deserve. Connecting with the right therapist is essential to the healing process and I hope to help in making your journey a lot lighter. I’m open and available to answer any questions you may have about the therapy process if this is your first time seeking help. I work with adults struggling to manage the grief of life that may show up in the form of anxiety, chronic stress, self doubt, shame, guilt and depression. I’m here to help you find or regain your power!

My goal is to create a secure space where you can delve into your challenges, gain deeper understanding, and find clarity. Through a blend of compassion and straightforwardness, I aspire for you to become increasingly confident in confronting life's hurdles. Everyone faces difficulties at various points in life, whether it's navigating complex relationships, coping with work-related stress, or managing significant life changes. You might feel stuck, uncertain, overwhelmed, or isolated during these times. Remember, you don't have to face these challenges alone.

Are you always worried something bad will happen? Feeling like you can't move forward? Everyday stressors causing us to shut down or run away? Especially with all the chaos and trauma of our environments we all need support. Welcome I am so glad your here! I am honored to work with individuals and families in crisis or dealing with a lack of functioning. I want to help you reach your specific goals that you have been yearning for your whole life. You deserve to life your best life and thrive!

Are you experiencing challenges dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship/family issues, and trauma/PTSD? Due to these symptoms, we can be in too much emotional pain and feel too stuck to reframe our perceptions or to find solutions to our problems. Childhood or recent trauma can cause emotional distress that can be difficult to process. I am here to support you in working through unresolved trauma and guide you toward healing. Therefore, you can feel empowered, rejuvenated, and enthusiastic about life again.

Life can present challenges that take two to process and understand. I believe a good therapeutic relationship is a dynamic conversation that can change your perspective and positively impact your everyday life. I offer a trained empathic ear, an inquisitive mind, and a safe environment to explore your thoughts and feelings about whatever is troubling you.

Mental health challenges are due to the aftereffects of traumatic experiences. Trauma can place a strain on your family, work, relationships, and even cause issues with self-worth. I specialize in trauma therapy along with treating personality disorders, depression, anxiety, ADHD, and addiction. All these disorders can look different from person to person, and that is where our therapeutic journey of empowerment and self-exploration begins. I concentrate on creating a safe space of growth and self-discovery through unconditional positive regard, emotional regulation, and guided activities.
