I have been in private practice for over 30 years now. My specialties are individual and couples therapy, and 12-step program for variety of addictions. Unlike the traditional silent non-directive method of psychotherapy (which is frustrating for most people)I have a very interactive style in sessions and you will get direct feedback from me. I believe in confronting problems head on and taking action for the ultimate victory over the presented issues and getting results. I am practical as well as spiritual in my approach. I have a new method of dealing with anxiety and depression, which is fast and effective.

I strive to create a warm and accepting environment so you feel comfortable to communicate the challenges you face in your life. If you are having problems with depression, anxiety or relationships, we can work collaboratively to figure out how to help you. I have experience working with children and adults with mood dysregulation and addiction issues.

Whatever you are going through, it helps to have someone to talk to, who is only there for you. Lowering your symptoms, gaining skills, and insight, can bring you lifelong peace. Most people know what choices to make, the hard part is doing it. But if you can't see what benign rules you are living by, which is the rule-especially in family systems, then you can't heal. This is really the reason to talk to an insight oriented therapist. If you have watched Couples Therapy, that is exactly what therapy is utilized.

I understand that life can feel overwhelming at moments and that it is common to feel stuck, lost, or defeated. My priority in the therapy process is to help you feel better, change unhelpful patterns or behaviors, and to help you create new ways of navigating stress, anxiety, and relationships. To facilitate this process, I combine my professional knowledge and experience for treating anxiety, chronic worry, depression, and relationship issues, with empirically supported treatments that work, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapy.

You’re a driven person but your personal or romantic relationships seem to be a struggle. Why is it sometimes easier to meet your professional needs and not your personal needs? You might struggle with vulnerability or feel confused about your relationship. I specialize in helping people create better relationships and clear obstacles to those relationships.

Psychotherapy services should address the specific needs of each client. The Cambridge Couples Center was founded to offer counseling to couples seeking to improve communication and to deepen their relationship. Our team of therapists are trained in a variety of treatment modalities to match the needs of our client couples. Our tailored approaches may include cognitive behavioral therapy, anger management treatment, and problem-focused therapy interventions. Our therapists specialize in the interface between anxiety, depression, substance use and trauma, and the impact that has on the couple’s relationships and families.

My career has followed my passion to help women and men cope with the stressors and trauma associated with family building and new parenthood. I bring extensive experience to my practice, with more than 15 years of counseling experience and specialized postgraduate training in fertility counseling. In addition, I am certified in Perinatal Mental Health, focusing on postpartum anxiety, depression, and other perinatal stressors. I work with many couples to help them regain their connection and strength on their path to building their family as well as adjust to their new identity as parents.

My practice is about is about healing and growth; whether you are struggling with an immediate problem or looking for long lasting change. Everyone feels overwhelmed at some point in their life. You may experience changes in your sleep, concentration or mood. You know the worry tape that keeps running in your head and the knot in your stomach that won't go away. I am here to help you discover the why and work on the how to gain the tools and feelings of empowerment that can change your life for the better.

For the past 16 years, the focus of my work has been helping individuals and couples achieve relationship and sexual wellness. Weather you're struggling with sex and love addiction, relationship difficulties, sexual problems, or suffering from the effects of trauma, I am committed to providing the most cutting edge, research supported therapy to help you not just overcome these issues, but thrive. My approach is holistic and affordable. I provide a range of services because I know that a one-size-fits all approach isn't effective. I will work with you to find the best solutions to meet your needs, goals and budget.

I work with men navigating significant personal and professional life transitions. My areas of focus encompass anxiety, process addictions (sex, gambling, food, compulsive spending), substance abuse, body image, infidelity and relationship issues.

Are you grappling with challeneges that appear to have no answers, burdened by emotions like sadness, shame, fear, or anger? Have your personal and professional aspirations started slipping away, leaving you feeling overwhelmed? Is navigating your relationships becoming a taxing ordeal? If you've answered yes to any of these questions, please know that there is hope, and seeking help is an act of courage. I am a therapist in West Los Angeles, offering individual therapy and couples counseling to address issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, career transitions, and communication hurdles.

Are you stuck, unable to move forward in your life? I believe that we as human beings are resilient, and that, when we find ourselves stuck unable to move forward in our lives, it's important to seek guidance outside ourselves to unravel and breakfree from whatever is blocking our inner light. I am here to assist you to unravel and break free from whatever is blocking your inner light from shining.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

I have found that most people possess the necessary tools to improve their quality of life and simply need someone else to highlight them. I have a warm, direct style and utilize humor, when appropriate, to explore challenges and collaborate on ways to live one’s most fulfilled life. I use an experiential and intuitive approach to help clients develop the best possible relationships with themselves and others.

Do you ever feel you're drifting through life, not fulfilled or passionate about your relationships, purpose, or career like you used to? Whether it be due to past traumas, toxic and abusive relationships, or lack of self-worth and purpose. Sometimes, we can come to a point in our lives where we feel we're constantly under stress, bored, disconnected, stagnant, and insignificant. If you can resonate with any of these feelings I want to work with you, and create a new sense of fulfillment and passion back into your life, relationships, and career. My approach is direct, clear, and practical with no judgments or shame.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals. Having done this work for 30 years the issues that have sadly remained consistent are the high levels of child sexual abuse and adult sexual assault, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. A significant number of people will have an assault in their lifetime, so you are not alone. My doc dissertation was on sexual trauma, resilience (surviving), & posttraumatic growth (thriving). I am dedicated to all types of trauma and see that people can not only get better but they can choose the life they wish to live, often with help of a therapist and a desire to change.

I hold my master’s degree in clinical psychology and am finishing my doctoral degree. Throughout my experiences, I have worked with individuals, families, and kids in some of the most challenging situations to overcome some of the most challenging times in their lives. As a strengths-based coach, I focus on helping you understand the patterns in your life, and we focus on building your resiliency skills for breaking unhelpful habits and replacing them with helpful lifestyle changes. My superpower is finding potential in the hidden and overlooked places when you can't see it in yourself and then empowering you to take control.

Clients seek me out sometimes years into trying typical CBT/DBT life-skills therapies. They feel they need something more than self-regulation skills to feel understood, desiring to know themselves on a deeper plane of existence. My depth psychology approach is a soulful dive into Psyche: the Jungian unity of unconscious Dreams, Motivators, and Shadow, -married to your consciously-lived life. When unconscious patterns conflict with our known desires, we become stuck, feeling anxiety, depression, disconnected from ourselves and from humanity.
