I have been a psychotherapist for over 30 years in California. I am the Past President of the Los Angeles Chapter of the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. I am particularly interested in working with people who feel they've worked through a lot of their own personal issues and are interested in stepping out into life in a bigger way to make more of a difference in the world. If that sounds interesting to you, give me a call. Qualified people are invited to do a complimentary session with me to see if it makes sense for us to work together to realize your life goals.

Finding a therapist can be a daunting process.  Although there are many great therapists out there, it does not necessarily mean that each one is the right fit for you. With the belief that the relationship between client and therapist is central to growth and healing, my style is nurturing, client centered, collaborative, and empowering.  I provide a safe and non-judgmental space to support my clients in becoming more grounded and connected to their whole and authentic self.

I have over 20 years experience in working with children, adolescents and families with various backgrounds and socioeconomic status. My specialty and passion is in working with parents in helping them become the best parents they can be; including managing behavior problems at home and school, co-parenting, family therapy and Child-Parent dyadic Psychotherapy. I am able to provide therapy in both Hebrew and English. To accommodate the local Jewish community, I have available appointment times on Sunday, in addition to weekdays.

Psychotherapy is an opportunity to experience an awareness of yourself and the obstacles that hinder your emotional growth and connection to others. In this courageous journey, the match between you and your therapist is essential. I view our work as an important collaborative journey and welcome all of your experiences. We will work together to identify your goals as well engage in a meaningful way in your life. My role is to provide a genuine and safe environment to make life-affirming changes.

I work primarily with clients who struggle due to early experiences that left a mark. Trauma. Trauma often deprives us of resources and skills needed to survive and flourish. So as adults, we end up "stuck" due to persistent depression and anxiety, emotional dysregulation (extreme mood swings), constant triggering of the fear system, and relationship concerns. I work with many clients struggling with- or recovering from- various forms of self-destruction or self-harm. As a Partner Trauma Specialist, I also work with clients who are Partners of Sex Addicts from a relational trauma perspective.

The people with whom I work well are those who have a curiosity about themselves, and a willingness to be open to change. Feeling stuck or trapped in patterns in life is a common complaint. I frequently ask questions that allow people to reconsider what they assumed are life's "givens" and what is inhibiting them from achieving their potential. Together we will work towards unlocking your core energy. My therapeutic style is filled with respect, honesty, warmth, and humor.

I am a highly skilled, warm and trustworthy therapist passionate about supporting and enhancing the quality of individuals' lives. Whether you or your teens are experiencing depression or anxiety, feeling ambivalent about a current relationship, or living with a child who has Asperger's, together we will work to develop realistic goals, sensible solutions and a greater sense of confidence toward handling life's inevitable challenges. For the past 20+ years I have worked well with individuals, couples and families to resolve problems that stem from current daily life stressors to past dysfunctional family experiences;
