I believe people who seek therapy are often stuck in a personal narrative that is viewed through a particular "lens." I invite clients to gaze back at the mirror I hold up for them in ways that allow them to view things from a different perspective, through a "different pair of glasses." I would be honored to accompany those who would travel this road of honest reflection and compassionate self-evaluation. Whether the issue is addiction, relationships, anxiety, depression or life crisis, I believe the client can uncover meaningful and empowering solutions to deal with life on life's terms.
I have worked with recovering addicts and alcoholics in a 12-Step capacity for 33 years, and have treated clients and their families in a residential treatment facility and in private practice for several years in Century City and Los Angeles before bringing my practice to the South Bay.
My goal is to combine a diverse academic and life experience background with training in the social sciences to offer clients a unique clinical experience integrating common sense, science, addiction recovery and psychotherapy.
