Do you have a strong inner-critic? Do you find that your mood drives your behaviors? Is it hard to identify what you are feeling? Does this impact your relationships? You may feel overwhelmed by this, but it is helpful to remember that you are not in it alone. Utilizing a variety of evidenced-based practices, I will help you learn skills to change these behavioral patterns and more effectively navigate your internal experiences as well as the challenges you face in your life.

You would be the ideal client if you're curious about therapy. You may not be completely ready for the work involved, you may not even know exactly what you want to do, but you recognize that some part of your mental health deserves a little more support that you might be able to provide on their own. You know that the goal of therapy isn't a "fix," and you're open to the process of moving towards improved wellbeing in ways meaningful for you. If you're looking for someone to collaborate in this effort, and you're willing to take the uncomfortable step of figuring out how we can build trust together, I'd be honored to work with you.

I've seen how life changing therapy can be ... it certainly has been for me. My work centers around family issues, finding and growing healthy relationships, exploring existential issues such as work, career, unrealized desires and ambitions, and and overcoming issues such as anxiety, depression, insecurity and anger. I work with men, women and couples. The title of my first book, "I Can't Believe My Life Has Come to This" was born from hearing it many times in my office. So..if you're ready to take control of your life and operationalize your dreams, we may be a great match. I look forward to speaking with you,..

It takes a certain person to look for support, and I commend you on taking this first step. Life is challenging, and there are times when no matter how hard we try, things just don’t change. We often find ourselves spinning out of control feeling overwhelmed, scared, sad and tired… beyond tired, feeling alone, stuck and in pain, dealing with distressing thoughts, feelings and body symptoms. And the list goes on.

Individuals often struggle with managing the stress in their lives which can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, and unhealthy behaviors. Distress can arise from work, life transitions, relationships, and difficult emotions. We can find ourselves reacting in the same ways, experiencing the same agonizing feelings, and being in the same difficult circumstances. The goal is to understand your thoughts, behaviors, and emotions, use that information to minimize suffering, have healthier relationships with others and yourself, achieve your life goals, and feel a sense of agency to live the life you deserve.

Being ready to get professional help is a sign of self awareness, readiness for self growth, personal freedom and feeling more in control. Finding the right therapist is essential in building rapport, trust, and open communication. I work together with my clients to explore dynamics related to life transitions, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, worries, health problems, financial anxieties, and sudden changes in life. I use a combination of techniques including psycho-dynamic, behavioral and cognitive theories, solution focused models, and mindfulness interventions to fit each individual client's needs.

I see my role in the therapeutic process as an agent of change and flicker of hope. My only goal is to help you make the necessary changes in your life so that you can experience joy, love, abundance, and meaning. I believe that the only way for any of us to heal and grow from the pains of our experiences is with someone who can not only provide an understanding to what we're going through, but help us experience something different. I seek to achieve this outcome with you through a collaborative relationship and instilling empowerment in you.

So much of what life brings us is beyond our control- childhood trauma, loss of our loved ones, difficult transitions that we must make in order to remain true to ourselves or genes that make us susceptible to mental health disorders. In our busy lives, we sometimes forget to take a step back to re-evaluate how we are caring for our mind and heart. 2020 seemed like a call to action for the world to look inward and redefine goals such as our life style, career choices, relationship dynamics and tired old behaviors that get in our way over and over again.

Everything is different now. Since your cancer diagnosis, your entire life has been turned upside down. The future that once felt so bright and full of potential now seems dark and frightening. Not long ago, your schedule was packed with dinners, dates, and vacations. Now, your calendar is all doctor appointments and hospital visits. The physical exhaustion and side effects of treatment pale in comparison to the emotional toll. You’re constantly wracked with fear over your illness. Loved ones offer support, but they don’t understand what you’re going through. You wonder if you’re going to feel this scared and lost forever.

Having been a psychotherapist for more than 25 years, I approach each new therapeutic relationship with the utmost curiosity and fascination about how unique every person is. Humility and profound respect for the individual remain at the center of my work. I believe that being true to ourselves is essential to our well being. To live authentically requires getting to know yourself and creating fulfilling relationships with others who honor that truth.

Have you found yourself not knowing how to navigate a situation and suffering because of that? Have you tried "everything," but are still feeling trapped and immersed in psych suffering, which can manifest itself as isolation, self-criticism, hopelessness, worry, fear, dissatisfaction, interpersonal conflicts, mood changes, dissociation from reality, a sense of being persecuted, and so on? Have you wondered whether some of the issues you have dealt with - for instance, being incapable of doing things or repeatedly making bad choices - might tell something about your subjective dilemmas? This is the moment to make analysis.

Do you sometimes feel like a tourist in your own life? Has your career reached a dead-end but you don't know how to make a change? Has your marriage or relationship grown stale or become a fight that never ends? Do thoughts of a better life whisper to you in the midst of depression, anxiety or deep fear? Conflict and getting stuck can be part of living, and sometimes our problems seem like they are updated versions of what plagued us as children and teenagers. What would your life feel and look like if these weren't there?

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 20 years experience. I received my undergraduate and graduate degrees from University of Michigan and Oakland University, respectively. I furthered my formal education with a post-Master's specialization in mental health. In my work as a psychotherapist, I encounter many people of various nationalities and socioeconomic standing. As I help them with their concerns, I repeatedly find the single most important conduit to change is the relationship we forge in therapy. In this relationship I am without judgment. I am respectful, understanding, and completely accepting.

You are a current or former dancer, gymnast or athlete. You have undergone intense training and competition. Now, you feel stuck. You feel high demands, yet you are afraid of your power. You want to be successful. You notice that you fear failure. You may even fear success. Performance anxiety and overwhelm have gotten the best of you lately. Bullying/distrust with peers or coaches may be something you feel bogged down by. Because you’re a high achiever, you need extra love and support and wish to feel confident. However, relationships both in and outside of your craft feel unsubstantial.

Are you experiencing unresolved childhood trauma, shame, anxiety, or grief and loss related to adoption or foster care? Gently know, you are not alone. I am an adoptee and former foster youth and adoption-foster care competent. I understand how complex the challenges can be. I have a team of adoption therapists in Los Angeles supporting birth parents, adoptees, foster youth, foster parents, and adoptive parents skilled in reunification, adoption, adoption trauma, open adoption, foster care to adoption, search, and reunion. We have a network of peer support groups so you can be part of a thriving community!

Therapy offers a unique opportunity to explore unconscious assumptions and emotional defenses that cause problems. Painful, confusing feelings become important guides to understanding hidden parts of yourself. Are you troubled by longstanding, pervasive issues, for example with relationships, depression, anxiety, emptiness, self-esteem or even self-hate? Do you have a sense that your problems may stem from childhood wounds or past trauma? People are often unaware of feelings and behaviors that influence their lives. Greater self awareness allows for better choices, making room for new healthier parts of yourself to emerge.
