"Building Emotional Resilience is key towards achieving a balanced life. You may be a stressed-out parent dealing with the challenge of a defiant child, or an unsatisfied spouse suffering with a critical or distant partner. Perhaps you're a high-powered professional grappling with the demands of career and family, or a sensitive teenager navigating the precarious path towards young adulthood. In either case, whether it's relationship issues, difficult feelings, worrying thoughts, unwanted behaviors, or even just searching for answers to some of life's biggest questions, I can provide guidance, support, and wisdom towards realizing obtainable solutions."

"While it can be a scary process, the outcomes of therapy can be life changing, reduce unwanted symptoms, and create deep healing. You are not alone on this journey. I utilize the therapeutic relationship in my sessions and believe healing and meaning is innately within you but can also manifest through the therapeutic relationship. My ideal client is someone who is wanting to build awareness or create change in their life and may be struggling with stress, trauma, mood, anxiety, eating, life transitions, or an intellectual disability."

"Congratulations on taking action! We both know that if things are going to change for you in a positive direction, you will need to be brave, open-minded and willing to do things you have resisted doing for one reason or another. I can be most helpful in that regard. Now is the perfect time. Your life is about to change dramatically. Together, in a collaborative and supportive relationship, we will identify your critical needs, uncover and resolve resistances, and map out the incremental steps to getting your needs met. Make the call that will change your life."

"I believe we are all capable of growth and positive change, and I am committed to helping you achieve this in the deepest, most meaningful way. I work collaboratively to explore how your current ways of interacting with the world are causing distress, whether internally as anxiety or depression, or in relationships with peers, colleagues and loved ones. In your first session, we will discuss your concerns and explore your expectations for therapy. We will touch on your relationships with others, your feelings about yourself, and your family history in order to lay the foundation for our work together."

"I'm glad you're here: you have taken a courageous and healing step by seeking support. I provide an integrative, resiliency-focused approach to therapy, pulling from your strengths and values to guide our work and help you regain a sense of mastery, meaning, and connection in your life. My perspective is that we are built to survive and often develop ways of relating which once helped us get by, but may no longer be helpful to a current situation. My goal is to form a safe connection to explore these factors that may contribute to ongoing difficulties, re-process experiences, and ultimately co-create your next chapter."

"Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I am a clinical psychologist with a specialty in helping people gain better control over alcohol and drug use.

I take a holistic approach to therapy, working with you on all aspects of your life to help you feel better and accomplish what you would like to do."

"What we seek in our partner is connection. Deep, relaxed, secure connection is the springboard to passion. I help couples re-connect and stay connected by enhancing the positive, eliminating the negative and becoming each other's advocate. I help singles identify patterns that have haunted past relationships and help find and forge a new kind of loving partnership.
Anxiety, depression and addictions all stem from, or are fueled by, deficient early connections. Learning the skill and discipline to navigate a conscious romantic relationship can heal much of the past and free us from many restricting thoughts, feelings and behaviors."

"I believe in giving it to you straight wrapped with warmth and love. I believe we all have the power to make change but sometimes need a little help along the way.
I provide individual, couples and family therapy to children, adolescents and adults. I have an array of experience from working to outpatient mental health clinics where I supervised psychology and social work interns to consulting at local schools to coordinating clinical programs.
In addition I also enjoy weaving eastern and western philosophies into my practice."

"People usually call a therapist because they're struggling, and often they've already been struggling for a long time. With that in mind, I work to help my patients feel better as quickly as possible. One thing I emphasize is developing a warm relationship that enables us both to speak honestly-even though that honesty can sometimes be challenging. But I don't believe the whole purpose of therapy is just getting rid of symptoms. Ultimately, therapy is about opening up new possibilities for living. It's about feeling more connected to oneself and others, and developing a richer experience of life."

"Welcome. Sometimes things are complicated. We keep feeling a certain way or doing something and don't understand why. Sometimes things are more simple. We understand what we want, maybe even how to get there but just need a little support along the way. I work with individuals, couples and families to help them achieve the changes they wish to see in their lives, big or small, complicated or not."

"As a psychotherapist I work from a compassionate and practical perspective. My work is holistic and includes a creative exploration of the client's life experience, building awareness and mindfulness, reconnecting to the cues the body gives, and reinforcing positive experiences. I help clients to identify undiscovered potential, create change, and work through a myriad of issues. These issues range from depression and anxiety to questions about where to go next in career and, "Why do I keep dating the wrong person?". Clients come to me to work through trauma, eating disorders, substance abuse, low self-esteem, loss of meaning, and relationship issues."

"Welcome to my online therapy practice. After over 20 years providing therapy in a traditional office setting in Santa Monica, CA, I found that many of my clients were increasingly asking for online (video) and phone appointments. They wanted to eliminate the stress of traffic and travel time, create a private space of their own choosing and settle easily into their sessions. The teletherapy platform has now become my specialty and this intimate setting produces wonderful results. My style is interactive, conversational, and focused on helping you develop the self-awareness that generates growth, positive action, and long-lasting changes."

"Many clients, colleagues and friends have told me that with my innate intuitiveness, authenticity and openness it is very easy to talk with me about difficult and painful issues. The most important aspect of feeling comfortable and safe with a therapist is having a rapport as well as feeling understood. I have an eclectic approach to each unique person with whom I work. I think it is important to determine what your personal goals are, how can we best achieve them, while keeping in mind that the ultimate goal is for you to become your own best therapist."
