I approach each session with openness, sensitivity, and genuine interest in my client's well-being. I strive to thoroughly understand your unique personality, experiences, and goals, while remaining an active participant in the session. Through the course of treatment some of the areas we will collaborate on are: increasing your satisfaction from relationships, achieving greater intimacy with your partner, and developing coping skills to deal with uncomfortable moods and feelings.  I place an emphasis on working with clients to help them uncover the emotional, physical, and spiritual balance that is important to them.

My office is in Los Feliz convenient to Hollywood, downtown, Glendale, Atwater Village, Echo Park, and Silver Lake. 

    Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, frustrated, or stuck? I can help you find ways to cope with uncomfortable feelings so that you can feel more  balance in your daily life and more fulfilling relationships and experiences.    Many of us rely on friends and family to help us work through problems, but sometimes our friends or family are part of the problem itself.  Or maybe we just don’t feel comfortable talking about certain issues with them. Oftentimes we withdraw from our support systems and end up feeling more and more alone. Having an experienced and compassionate therapist will give you the personal freedom to explore your concerns in a safe and productive way. 
Some of the issues I work with are:
  • anxiety
  • depression
  • drug/alcohol abuse
  • parenting 
  • relationship problems
  • self-esteem
  • life transitions
  • job performance
  • infidelity
  • communication problems
  • marital conflicts
  • social anxiety
  • fear/worry
  • anger, frustration, irritabililty
  • grief/loss
  • mood swings
  • stress management
  • adolescent issues
  • couples counseling
  • creative blocks
  • spiritual issues
        
    A little about me...After living in New York City for many years and working in a dance company, I eventually came to Los Angeles and began work in TV animation. In 2003 I began my Masters program at Pepperdine University and began my journey as a parent. 

    I truly love this work and bring my passion and creativity to each session. I am happy to speak with you via email or phone to answer any questions you might have or to set up an appointment. I will respond to your inquiries the same business day but please indicate the best way to reach you.
