I am interested in working with people who feel stuck, want to move forward and sense they need to make a change. It could be work, school, a creative endeavor, family issues, a pattern in intimate relationships, an addiction of some kind, or even just messed-up thinking. My goal is to create a safe environment where you can come, shed old patterns, and explore what you want to do with your life.

What keeps you up at night? Anxiety? Depression? A fucked-up relationship? Or do you simply find that the world is spinning out of order? As Marshall McLuhan said, "We don't know who discovered water, but we know it wasn't a fish." The point is: it’s hard to see the whole picture when you’re in the middle of the picture. That's where therapy helps. Therapy offers you the chance to sift through your thoughts, feelings, and ideas in a safe and compassionate space. From there, a deeper consciousness can emerge. And with that consciousness comes the opportunity to create change.

I enjoy working with married people and single people, gay people and straight people, men and women, therapy beginners and treatment seasoned soldiers. It is hard to narrow down to a "type" as I have experience with a broad array of people and presenting issues. That said, I do seem to connect especially well with creative people: actors, writers, producers, etc. The most important aspect of your relationship with your therapist is chemistry and that is tricky to predict from the reading of a profile. Better to call me or meet in person so we can see about the match.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with two office locations in both South Pasadena and Los Angeles. I use Cognitive/Behavioral therapy to directly address issues you may be dealing with such as Depression, Anxiety, Anger,GLBT issues, Creative Blocks,Relationship problems,Life Transitions to name a few. I believe change begins with awareness and an understanding of how your thoughts effect your feelings and behavior.

We are living through unprecedented global events that are leaving many with elevated levels of stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Do you wonder about your own ability to cope? Are you having trouble sleeping, or focusing on tasks? Psychotherapy can help reduce these burdens. I can help you learn new skills based on the principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and other types of therapy, and guide you on a journey of self-discovery.

My goal is to provide a warm, caring, respectful, and compassionate environment to help you uncover the roots of emotional pain, suffer and unlock pathways for joyous, resilient, and meaningful living. My core values are: kindness, compassion, respect, and understanding. Within this kind of relationship, deep healing naturally unfolds, transforming cycles of abuse, neglect, addiction, depression, and anxiety, to make way for fulfilling relationships,peaceful existence and wellness.

I help people identify the deeper causes of their problems and make important changes in their lives. As a psychologist in practice for 20 years, I have experience working with a wide range of problems including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, poor self-esteem, work-related stress, difficulty managing emotions, sexuality concerns, and addictions/compulsions. I have a particular expertise in helping individuals and couples work through relationship problems. My aim is to help people to develop greater self-awareness and internal strength, find meaning and hope, and create more satisfying relationships.

Psychotherapy helps to regulate your feelings, make better choices, and to remove the obstacles to your goals. As a licensed psychotherapist and Professor at Pepperdine and Antioch Universities, I work with individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds dealing with emotional difficulties, relationship problems and various psychological conditions.

With over 25 years of practice experience, I provide psychotherapy for adults, adolescents and couples. The therapeutic approach I use is integrative, combining different perspectives that are proven effective by researchers. Typical goals include helping you to reduce distress, decrease self-defeating thoughts, feelings and actions, increase happiness and satisfaction, improve self-understanding and acceptance, enhance resilience and emotional control, and increase hope about your future. My professional style is empathic, interactive, and engaging. I enjoy and appreciate my job helping people move closer to their values and goals.

Previously employed at SpaceX as their in-house psychotherapist, I provide step-by-step guidance on how to stop wasting valuable time and energy on things you cannot control. Through the latest neuroscience research, I extend knowledge and concrete exercises that build healthy and resilient neuropathways. I tailor each session to practice how to be present to each new experience, instead of holding onto the past and focusing too much on the future. I create a comforting space for deep introspection and self awareness for you to reinvent yourself for ultimate success in all areas of life.

Thank you for taking time to read about my work. I am a clinical psychologist (PhD, UCLA, 1991) and have been providing psychotherapy to individuals and couples for over twenty five years. My approach integrates insight oriented/depth psychotherapy with mindfulness/meditation within a framework of body awareness. A central part of therapy is the mutually created caring and healing relationship. If we work together, time will be devoted to building a trusting, safe and containing relationship where early (developmental) as well as more recent challenges can be discussed, explored and healed.

As a family therapist I implement the skills I used as Clinical Director of a teen residential center to change family dynamics. I often get calls from parents who are struggling with their teenage children who are living with symptoms of anxiety, depression, mood disorders & addiction. My approach helps clients understand & shift dysfunctional patterns which hinder connection and closeness. Whether I am working with couples, families or individual clients, my approach aims to bring about improvements in our relationships which in turn helps symptoms such as conflict, depression and anxiety, and to improve creativity & productivity.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth and fulfillment with me? I am a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist who embodies a compassionate, understanding, and respectful therapeutic approach with all my clients. My expertise lies in identifying and treating psychological, emotional, and relationship issues, and I have been instrumental in getting individuals to achieve breakthroughs by revealing toxic secrets and long-standing issues. Our work together will enhance your ability to effectively communicate, identify triggers, break maladaptive patterns, and achieve your greatest potential in life.

Life is challenging, and sometimes we need support. If you’re reading this, I invite you to reach out. I specialize and truly enjoy providing LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy & of course welcome people of all sexualities/gender identities. I also see people on reproductive journeys using assisted reproduction. I offer a warm, accepting, and nonjudgmental space. Our work together will invite you to find a way forward, with your soul as guide. We will look at old patterns and critically, I will also provide clinical tools to assist going forward. We do this in a collaborative fashion, where I meet you where you are at.

I come from the heart. I'm here to help you feel safe and secure. I am here to go on a journey with you to find your true self, to lift depression, to work with anxiety, and transform this time of crisis into stronger relationships and more heart-felt productivity. As a gay, Jewish man, I have an ear for all people struggling with difference and oppression. I can go deep with you into healing old trauma. Or I can help you coach you with day-to-day career and relationship challenges. If you need a therapy to jump-start new growth in the New Year, I am here for you on that quest of both self-discovery and seeing more palpable results.
