For those struggling with intimacy, shame, depression, trauma, reliance on substances or sex, or just feeling alone, there's nothing more therapeutic than a good relationship. What most people yearn for is to feel heard, accepted and understood. My approach is to provide an understanding, empathic, non-judgmental relationship in which we can explore your feelings and experiences with the goal of improving your quality of life. Every person has their own style of relating to themselves and others, born out of their history. My training gives me the tools to help you understand your inner life, and forge new patterns of relating.

I am a Licensed Certified Social Worker with many years of clinical experience, currently licensed and working in CA and NY. Patients often tell me that I’m so easy to talk to and that they feel so comfortable and validated when working with me. The focus of my work is with children, adolescents & adults. Our time together helps to foster positive relationships and much more productive outcomes. My professional experience has been working with children, parents and families. I have had great success in strengthening self-esteem, supporting effective coping skills and promoting healthy social emotional development & relationships.

Life and relationships are complicated. Therapy with me is a time for you to focus on yourself, problem solve, grow, and get more enjoyment out of life. Together we can find solutions to reduce stress and anxiety; set goals & priorities; identify feelings and emotions; and improve communication, so that you can feel better about yourself, your work, your relationships, and your life. I offer negotiating, mediation & crisis management support to professionals in business, management & technology. I provide consultation to mental health professionals.

NOTE: I am currently full, but will take potential clients on a waiting list. I enjoy working with a variety of client issues with adults and adolescents, including but not limited to: Family Issues, Relationship Issues, Depression and Mood Disorders, Anxiety and Adjustment Issues, LGBTQ Affirming, Cultural/Spiritual Issues, and Executive Coaching.

I offer a warm, honest partnership for anyone who is struggling emotionally. People come in feeling alone in some way: overwhelmed, unfulfilled, blocked creatively or convinced that everyone else in the world is different from them. Or, maybe you are grieving the break-up of a relationship, marriage, or the death of someone close. Feeling alone in your pain is often the worst part.

I am commited to understanding the limits of the scientific method in understanding human experience, and assisting you in discovering what is most meaningful and important as a unique individual. I provide a space for you to encounter your experience and personal insight, and provide the expertise of many years of clinical practice, training, and research for guidance. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify the goals of treatment, and ensure every session is allowing meaningful insight and direction. I am a Neuropsychologist with a deep appreciation for spiritual practice and meditation.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

There are many reasons to seek out therapy. The ultimate purpose for considering therapy is often to resolve whatever is in the way of having a better life. As an active, empathic and experienced psychotherapist, my goal is to assist individuals in overcoming the barriers that prevent them from experiencing, the relationships in their lives in a full and rich way. I work to understand each individual's unique struggle, while respecting personal history and cultural background. Ultimately, I help individuals to see how past experiences and behavioral patterns may contribute to their current symptoms and difficulties.

In this pandemic, you may have come to realize that you are not feeling as fulfilled as you used to. Your relationships aren't as "deep" as you thought they were, and you've been feeling isolated and alone. You are wondering why nothing you do is good enough. You are frustrated because you're doing everything "right," but you're still feeling like you can't enjoy things the way you used to. You desire to feel motivated, passionate, and like your highest self again. You want to increase your self-esteem. You want to feel confident in yourself and ready to work towards your ideal vision for your future.

Time heals all wounds. You’ve heard it all before. But what if it does not? What if no matter how much time passes or how hard you try to forget, the memory of the hurt still haunts you? You thought you put it behind you yet it creeps up at the worst possible times in the worst possible ways. You go about every day dissatisfied with life, with growing frustrations that now seem to bring your relationships to the brink of a breaking point. People don’t understand you nor do they seem to recognize or acknowledge your pain. You feel exhausted. Something needs to change.

Whether your concerns are specific - a relationship, work, troubling thoughts or experiences, or more abstract - feeling stuck, lonely, or misunderstood, quality therapy offers invaluable support. Therapy can help you to untangle your emotions, clarify your struggles, and better understand yourself and others.

Hi there. Welcome. :) My ideal client is intelligent and/or empathic. You care about growth towards greater health and balance, personally and professionally. From a body felt and practical sense, you would like to feel met, seen and valued, within yourself, and with others. You want to work with someone who is calm, clear, non-judgmental, warm, fun, skilled and compassionate. You need someone with a variety of experiences. I'm 52, and would be honored to help nurture your path towards greater health, vitality and insight--from both a deeply felt and cognitive place. It would be an honor to map your Blueprint, your purpose.

Nurturing, nonjudgmental understanding, respect and honesty are at the heart of the therapeutic relationship I hope to develop with you. I believe that these deepest principles are the root of healing and recovery. The therapeutic relationship is where and how this takes place. When we address it in the here and now, then it most often generalizes to the present and future of your life. The foundation of my private practice lies in fostering this experience.

I am a marriage and family therapist with over three decades of experience helping individuals, couples, families, and groups in improving quality of life. I am available for both in-person as well as telephone sessions, and am therefore able to work with people regardless of their location (including internationally).

When someone is diagnosed with a serious illness, they have no idea what it means for their life, their future, their family, or their career. They have endless questions and nowhere to get answers. Just navigating the medical world feels like learning a whole new language in a foreign city. There are so many life changes, it can feel extremely overwhelming.

I am a licensed psychologist with 20 years of broad clinical experience including in UCLA Hospital and Cedars Sinai Medical Center. In both Individual and Marriage Counseling, I will work with you to understand how ordinary life events as well as unusual stressors, losses and traumas can have an impact on your emotional well being. Together we work to expand on your inner strength, your self-awareness, and help you make meaningful, desired, long-lasting changes. By living more authentically and cultivating a compassionate understanding of yourself, you can begin a path towards a more satisfying life with more satisfying relationships.
