Not accepting new clients
I specialize in helping adults; couples; teens and families who are dealing with stress; emotional problems and relationship issues. I provide a safe; warm environment in which clients are encouraged to discuss their issues openly and honestly. Also I work with elderly adults who are struggling with aging issues. I provide individual therapy for adults who have job-related stress; depression; anxiety and relationship issues. My office is located in Culver City next to West LA. The clients I treat would tell you that I have a warm and caring personality and that I have their best interests in mind.
I help people overcome depression; anxiety; stress and relationship problems in which they learn new coping skills to deal with life's most difficult challenges. In couples therapy I help clients learn how to communicate their feelings so they are heard and understood by their partner.
I provide a safe, comfortable setting which allows clients to explore their issues and quickly find solutions. Each client is encouraged to formulate specific goals which lead to positive change. I help clients discover their unique gifts and strengths.
