I am a psychologist experienced in helping children, teens and adults. My experiences in the mental health field began in 1981 and include working with the seriously mentally ill, treating traumatized children, and working with the oppressed. These experiences have taught me the importance of maintaining compassion for others even when they are in extreme states or are easily wounded. Working with different cultures has taught me to respect the world view and values of others. My background helps me to understand struggles of all types with a greater depth and sensitivity. All problems, worries and concerns are significant and deserving of a serious approach.

If you are struggling with problematic life situations such as trauma, grief, relational issues, or other emotional difficulties, then now is the time to address them. Change can be a scary process and taking the first step to deal with a difficult problem may seem overwhelming. Working with a professional therapist can help to make those life transitions and the process of change more manageable, achievable and rewarding. I have spent the last twelve years helping people resolve a variety of difficult psychological and emotional problems.

My team of therapists and I welcome anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, negative self-talk, substance abuse, thoughts of suicide, despair, and other challenges that interfere with their well-being, happiness, and relationships with others. Even if you've previously found therapy to be unsuccessful, we can help! We treat the cause, not just the symptoms, of your distress. We believe that everyone is intelligent and capable; our job is to help you discover the capabilities that you already posses. You and your therapist will work together to resolve the obstacles that are preventing you from becoming your authentic self and living the life you desire.

I'm an experienced psychotherapist skilled in working with individuals and families. I've treated adults with anxiety/depression, relationship issues, career struggles and trauma and teenagers with behavioral/emotional problems, academic issues and parent-child conflicts. I primarily utilize strengths-based, cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches to help people identify and apply their own personal strengths to work effectively through their different life circumstances.

My ideal client is at any age in the lifespan and willing to engage in therapy to heal, grow or simply feel better. I am able to work with a variety of people from different populations due to my non-judgmental stance and curiosity about other people. I am adept at working with individuals who experience multiple problems simultaneously due to my willingness to work with other providers and supportive group/individual services.

I am an interactive, pragmatic therapist who is passionate about learning from my clients' expertise. I maintain that curiosity, open-mindedness, and compassion throughout my relationship with my clients. I am also a creative therapist who regularly employs varying methods to help clients learn skills that will enable them to begin living the life they most desire. I primarily draw from the principals of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based model that has been proven to be effective with a variety of problems such as substance use disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic pain/ fatigue, and distress medical conditions.

Life can be challenging. Balancing the demands of work, parenting, marriage, and personal relationships can be overwhelming. My goal is to provide you with a safe and comfortable space to explore your feelings and reactions to life's everyday challenges in order to gain a better understanding of yourself. I believe in helping people find healing and peace by improving communication within their relationships, increasing their ability to manage and cope with stress and anxiety, and developing healthier ways of resolving conflicts.

For over 40 years I have had the privilege of providing competent, compassionate, caring psychotherapy and personal, business and optimal health coaching services to a wide range of people.

I believe that therapy is an individual, unique, and empowered process for each client that allows them to recognize their inner strengths and workings. Each client has their own answers that they are searching for and struggles they are trying to overcome in their daily life. During the process of therapy, I strive to help clients develop an increased sense of autonomy and purpose in order to create movement toward these answers. In succession, I help clients develop healthy ways of coping with stressors, as life is inevitably filled with difficulties and obstacles.

I provide neuropsychological assessment and psychotherapy for adults. Specialty areas include motivation, depression, anxiety, trauma, post-concussion syndrome, TBI, aging, and cognition.

As a psychotherapist in New York City for 25 years, I met a lot of people with issues that seemed beyond their ability to manage alone. We all have challenges as we move forward in life and sometimes we need help. Therapy works. Try it! After relocating to California, I was asked what "city life" was like. I explained that it may seem chaotic and noisy at first but as you get to know your way around, city life becomes familiar and can even be fun. Similarly, when you call, we can begin a collaboration to affect needed changes allowing you to move forward with more confidence. I look forward meeting with you.

I am receptive and open to what you have to say, supporting you with compassion and insight. Who are you at your deepest, truest self? I help you bring awareness to your inner process, effectively releasing emotion, mental blockages, and patterns. You can learn to offer yourself loving kindness and neutrally observe what you are feeling and thinking. You can acquire coping skills to adaptively face life's challenges. I offer solutions and hope for seemingly helpless situations.

Anxiety hurts. Whether it wakes you up in the morning and lingers all day or hits you like gang busters when you least expect it. Whether you know where it's coming from or not, anxiety tells you something is wrong and needs fixing. Anxiety is often tied to trauma and grief. You lose a person, relationship or perhaps a dream and you're left in a puddle of pain. Therapy is about working through grief and finding the courage to start again. You develop coping skills to feel better and communication skills to express your needs. You identify personal goals, and together, we chart your course toward your best and truest self.
