When mental illness strikes a family, it is as if 'someone threw a hand grenade into the family.' I can help you deal with your family member with a brain disorder. Let me help you learn to cope and advocate for your relative with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, depression with psychotic features, panic attacks, obsessive compulsive disorder and borderline personality disorder. You deserve a life even though your relative has a brain disorder. I am President of the National Alliance on Mental Illness for Westside Los Angeles.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 30 years, specializing in interactive, solution-oriented counseling. I strive to provide my clients with tools needed to create solutions for issues in their lives and relationships. My approach is simple, straightforward and caring. My goal is to facilitate growth, change and healing through brief therapy with lasting results.

Together, we will uncover what’s really going on with you. There is a reason for your sadness. You do not need to feel ashamed of your feelings anymore. I will create a safe space, with no judgment, for you to talk about those feelings, I can handle any issue that you reveal to me.

I offer possibilities for you to explore your thoughts and feelings about people, issues and life events that impact your dreams, goals, disappointments and successes. Using a psychodynamic and existential framework in conjunction with other therapeutic modalities, I join you in your life journey as we sort through and try to better understand those events and relationships of your past and/or present that brought you to this point in time. Together we explore your strengths, difficulties, values, and goals to determine how to change (or address those issues that cannot be changed) with a therapeutic approach tailored to your need.

Finding a therapist who is the right fit for you is a huge first step in healing and moving towards your therapeutic goals. I am not a "blank slate" therapist. Convinced that connections heal, my style is warm, relational, client-centered, strengths-based and strongly influenced by Buddhist Psychology. I meet my clients where they currently are and support them in healing and moving towards their goals.

If you are on this site, you are likely thinking about therapy or you are ready to find a therapist. Welcome! I have been in practice for over 30 years, specializing in family therapy, psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis. My work involves developing a trusting, non-judgemental relationship with my patients, creating a safe place where all thoughts and feelings can be expressed. Perhaps you have been struggling with anxiety and/or depression. Maybe your relationships have been unsatisfying or conflictual, or you have been unable to have relationships. What about physical symptoms for which no medical cause can be found?

I am interested in treating people whose potential is hindered by negative concepts of themselves imprinted in childhood (through traumatic experiences or neglect of basic emotional needs) and who frequently suffer from symptoms like chronic depression, anxiety and low self-esteem. I am committed to helping these individuals attain a sense of self that brings them happiness and fulfillment. My basic perspective is that the human mind possesses the capacity to heal itself, if guided in the right way. I have explored various methods and approaches to helping the mind restore its basic wholeness.

What makes us seek therapy? Perhaps we are having a difficult time achieving personal or professional goals. Maybe the way we used to do things is no longer satisfying. Whatever brings you into therapy, through the foundation of a therapeutic relationship, you can be supported and encouraged to explore the direction and meaning of your life. It can empower you to gain new perspectives, acquire behavioral tools and insights to forge ahead and create a life you wish to live.

People experience stress, sadness, frustration, and anxiety. These challenges might contribute to feeling stuck and unsure of which direction or actions to take. Sometimes, feeling stuck we are pulled to unhelpful actions. My goal is to support you in addressing your mental wellness needs so you can move toward your goals. These goals might be personal, social, educational, or professional. Enhancing your ability to practice self-care and understand your own mental health can lead to positive outcomes across multiple facets of life. Together, we can accomplish this through open communication and collaboration in a safe environment.

I specialize in stressed-out executives who pay the price of success as well as accomplished gay men who feel like an imposter. As someone who has been through and overcame a fair amount in life, I have a great deal of empathy as well as a nifty toolbox for those who are ready to get off the merry-go-round. You may feel like you're never enough and wrestling with constant negative thoughts that hold you, hostage. I am ready to roll up my sleeves if you are and help you sort it all out. I love working with clients who are ready, able, open-minded, and introspective — they’re the ones who often see the most progress from our work.

Do you struggle with trauma, relationships, and anxiety, or worry that you might be beyond help? Give me a call--I've been there and, through my own healing, as well as extensive training and experience, I'm uniquely fit to help others. I specialize in healing complex trauma, compulsive disorders, and borderline personality disorder, using EMDR, DBT, and Brainspotting to achieve tangible results quickly. My clients often tell me that no other therapist has helped them in the way that I have, and that they finally have the tools they need to let go of trauma and thrive.

Navigating through the world can be challenging and stressful so finding a therapist doesn't need to be another stressful task. My door is open to your questions, because ultimately this process is about a compassionate and collaborative relationship between you and I. My focus in therapy is helping you navigate through the obstacles you face and overcoming them one by one. Over the years I have been helping my clients finding joy and contentment by recognizing and utilizing their internal strength and the ability to control their lives. I look forward to hearing from you and moving forward to healing and happiness.

It's never too late to start having a better life. My goal is to give you all the tools you need to overcome anxiety, depression and fear and to maintain your psychological balance mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. You will go home with personalized audio programs and homework assignments tailored to solving your specific problems. I use cognitive-behavioral therapy, hypnotherapy, and creative problem solving to deal with anxiety disorders and depression.

I am a licensed psychologist primarily serving adults and adolescents who struggle with depression and anxiety; borderline personality disorder; substance and alcohol use; relationship distress; emptiness; intolerable emotions; impulsive behaviors including suicidal and self-injurious behavior; eating concerns; and histories of trauma. My therapeutic approach centers on utilizing Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT was initially developed to treat borderline personality disorder but is now used to effectively treat a broad spectrum of psychological problems by focusing on enhancing the skills necessary to not only cope but thrive in a world full of obstacles.

I try to provide a safe environment where people feel comfortable talking about their fears, anxieties and hopes for their life. I find it important to have a collaborative relationship with clients and to establish a working alliance with them. I make an assumption that we can think together about very painful and confusing issues that come up in therapy and work them out together.

Using a resiliency-focused approach, it doesn’t have to be an ordeal to heal. In fact, neuroscience has shown this is not the best way to work on oneself. Rather, focusing on regulating the nervous system using simple wellness skills and education about the brain and body connection can pave the way toward increased daily well-being as well as lay groundwork for resolving trauma. We can't always prevent stressors, and many of us have been through challenges or traumas in childhood that make it difficult to weather life's changes. Together, we will co-create the best course of treatment to help you live more fully in each moment.

I specialize in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety and OCD, including Pure O. I am passionate about the specific type of CBT that I practice because it offers relief to patients who have been in other types of therapy for years without significant progress. My approach to treatment, known as Rumination-Focused ERP (Exposure with Response Prevention), is a time-limited, highly systematic, yet gentler approach to exposure.
