Many of us feel overwhelmed with demands of work, health issues, family life, financial pressures and ask- "Where is the space for self-care? " Maladaptive coping skills (addictive behaviors, substance use issues, avoidance of activities) can easily take the place of healthy self-care techniques. However, there is a healthier path to walk down, which I can help you to master. I have spent my career helping teenagers and adults cope with difficult behavior patterns, and I can attest that once the source is uncovered, these behaviors can be changed to more accurately reflect your authentic self (artistic, creative, social, etc).
I use Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) to treat mood disorders, addictive behaviors and codependency. I am also well versed in treating chronic pain and health issues. I work in individual and group treatment modalities.
am certified in Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness-Based Self-Compassion (MSC) and versed in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). As a creative in the Los Angeles community, I also use poetry and music to encourage more mindful participation in the world around us.
