Are you trying to recover after an affair? Do you feel disconnected from your partner? Are you struggling to re-establish the passion in your relationship/marriage? Or are you feeling like you’re the only one working on your marriage/relationship? Do relationships seem to never work out for you? Perhaps you are grieving the loss of a relationship or have found yourself avoiding dating for a while. I specialize working with couples and also individuals who are not currently in intimate relationships. Those clients are either struggling to find healthy relationships or are fearful of attracting unhealthy partners.

I am a licensed therapist and certified psychiatric rehabilitation practitioner providing individual, and family therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families. I have experience treating anxiety, trauma, depression, mood disorder, panic disorder, self-injurious behaviors, relationship difficulties, family conflicts, and significant life transitions. I am a practical therapist helping individuals deal with childhood trauma, substance use, addiction, job stress, anger, loss, and grief. I also focus my practice on helping individuals, families, and couples cope with life challenges with a culturally sensitive approach.

As a trauma focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your potential and lead a joyful life. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges. I am a therapist based in Los Angeles with over twenty five years of experience.

My practice is based on an integrative model that privileges contemporary relational theory and practice. I work with a range of issues with individual adults, couples and families, and have a particular interest in working with artists, writers, and intellectuals. When choosing a psychotherapist, it is important to find a good fit - someone you feel comfortable with. Psychotherapy is at best a healing and transformational journey that allows you to have healthier and more satisfying relationships with yourself and others. A good relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in a successful outcome.

I consider it a privilege and an honor to work with people who want to find balance in their lives. People come into therapy seeking help for a variety of problems. You may be in severe pain, suffering the effects of trauma, stressful events, ruptured relationships or addiction problems. You may need help to achieve healthy emotional boundaries with friends, loved ones, co-workers. Perhaps you wish to live a more full and satisfying life. While I typically draw from psychodynamic, family systems and relational/humanistic approaches, I am very flexible and tailor my approach to each individual.

Using customized eclectic approaches; mindfulness, music, solution focused, neuroscience, trauma-informed care, EMDR and group therapy, I help clients discover their innate, creative potential resulting in a more satisfied, productive and meaningful life. I encourage self-expression, communication, and problem solving. With young children, I utilize play and art therapy to help them express and understand their feelings thus reducing their internal/external conflicts. With teenagers I often teach mindfulness and coping skills. I'm dedicated to helping each client fulfill their potential and achieve peace, well being and happiness.

I have been working as a Psychologist in private practice for more than 20 years. In addition I am a supervisor at a large medical center working with clients with varying mental health issues. I work best with adults, couples and teens who are experiencing some difficulty in their lives and have not been able to address it on their own. This often manifests as unhappiness, anxiety, relationship problems, anger, depression or even substance abuse. I enjoy working with someone to uncover the obstacles that keep them stuck and to facilitate what they may need to continue moving forward in their life.

It is my belief that anyone can benefit from psychotherapy as we all have unique concerns influencing our daily lives. Working in a safe and comfortable environment, I can work to help you know yourself better and to live your life the way you want. We will work collaboratively to explore and understand the psychological roots of emotional suffering by focusing on self-reflection and the examination and resolution of inner conflicts. I can help you to explore and modify your patterns of thinking in order to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and to improve coping with daily struggles.

I am a Somatic Psychotherapist living and working in Los Angeles, California. I specialize in the mind-body connection. I have spent a majority of my career working to understand how it is that the mind-body connection is influenced by our development, by our world and by ourselves. When we look at our connection to ourselves, it give us vital information for healing and change. The work that I do with my clients breaks old destructive patterns and leads the way to healing deep seeded emotional injuries.

So here you are, seeking a therapist. Maybe you’ve done therapy before, or have been working on various methods of “wellness” for years, but a lingering sense remains that something needs to change for the better, and you just don’t know where to start. First of all, that’s awesome. Second of all, hi I’m Jake!

I provide a reliable space for talking about what affects you most deeply in your love, work, creative and spiritual life. I will help you develop pragmatic approaches to achieving greater fulfillment and less distress. As we carefully develop an understanding of your internal and interpersonal life, our dialogue will afford you a deeper understanding of how you function with others and how you create meaning for yourself. I regard each person's therapy as completely unique. We will work together to set the goals, pace, and content of your treatment, as well as examine the nature of our working relationship.

I have been in private practice since 1986, over 30 years. My specialty is helping individuals who suffer from the whole spectrum of anxiety disorders. Any therapist "worth their salt" is one who has been tested by fire and has lived through a transformative experience so that they can truly share their wisdom with others. When I speak about anxiety to a client, I've been there. I am an expert on anxiety, fear, phobias, and panic.

A Jungian analyst trained at the C.G. Jung Institute Zurich, a seasoned Clinical Psychologist and lifelong investigator of the History of Religions, I bring personalized depth-psychological understanding and a keen eye to the emerging possibilities in each person, whatever shape their life has taken to date. I view symptoms as statements, opportunities to transform suffering into self-regard meaning and hopefully an experience of the psyche's breadth and depth of which you are uniquely a part. Assuming positive initial engagement, I generally work longer term with individuals strongly committed to their own inner work.

My goal is to help you become your best self, as defined by you. In a secure and respectful psychotherapeutic relationship we work to help you develop a life that is more fulfilling. I offer individual psychotherapy for adults who are experiencing a wide range of concerns: depression; anxiety; relationship difficulties; self-esteem concerns; recovery from childhood/adult trauma; life transitions and challenges, such as career changes, health concerns, parenting issues, or the loss of a loved one. Any situation with which you believe you are not coping as well as you'd like is appropriate for psychotherapy.
