I am delighted to be in private practice in West Hollywood.

My training includes work at Being Alive, an HIV/AIDS service organization, helping clients heal from chemical dependence, trauma, and co-occurring health challenges using LGBT Affirmative Therapy.

Are you feeling stuck and get overwhelmed when you think about making changes in your life? Or maybe there has been an unexpected life event that feels too big to handle and the coping skills you normally use aren’t working or have become more of a problem than a solution. I help my clients make changes in their lives by helping them work through unhelpful patterns, conducting an examination of where things are for them currently vs. where they would like things to be and to make the adjustments in their lives that helps steer them in a positive direction.

Have you experienced a traumatic life event? Do you feel lost, overwhelmed, or hopeless? Have you tried traditional talk therapies and not much has changed? By implementing a collaborative, skills-building-based, integrative, and holistic approach, I will help you identify and reconnect with your core authentic self, establish healthy boundaries, gain greater control over your life, and the ability to deal with emotional stressors reflectively instead of reflexively. I specialize in treating acute, chronic, and complex trauma, and provide alternative mindfulness-based approaches to the 12-step model for addiction recovery.

I specialize in addiction and sex therapy with a focus on creative individuals. I offer an alternative to traditional addiction treatment programs, focusing on the root causes of addiction , rather than just the substance use. With a judgement-free, collaborative approach to therapy, we will set goals and regain a sense of self and fulfillment. I support everyone’s orientation, gender, kink, and how they choose to identify themselves while helping people allow for different aspects of their sexual selves get what they want out of love, relationships, and sex.

I believe our destiny is not created by our history. Far too often we let the script of our past taint the next chapter of our life. Are the chains of grief, trauma, addiction , abuse, betrayal, sadness, fear, anger or self-hatred holding you back? I am curious…… What sparkling moments in your life have you forgotten about? What would life look like if you broke free and left all of the labels behind - even just for a moment? Is there a possibility you could awaken from a nightmare and begin to dream differently? What if the rebirth of creativity was possible? What if hope was renewed and slowly a new story began to form?
