How are you feeling? Right now, in this moment. Overwhelmed & stuck? Perhaps a little lonely? You are not alone. You are probably so busy taking care of the people in your life that you have not stopped to check in with yourself. What might it look like if you were getting the care you need? If we do not check in with ourselves, identify what it is we really want, build the framework to make that our reality, create & uphold boundaries, say yes & just as importantly, say NO when we need to, our bodies will do it for us in various forms we all want to avoid (burnout, mental & physical fatigue, illness, etc.).

Being in the world can often feel like a challenge. I work with individuals and couples who want to improve their relationships by gaining a greater sense understanding. I work with clients to develop their self knowledge and self worth so they can embrace their hopes and accept feelings of disappointment. The ability to self-reflect helps in moving toward a more satisfying future with a greater sense of compassion and tolerance for yourself and a greater openness toward others. The goal of the work is the creation of an emotionally safe home where acceptance and recognition can foster personal emotional growth and healing.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families navigate the complexities of mental health and relationships. For the past decade, I have worked in a jail setting, where I have gained invaluable experience in crisis management. My work in this challenging environment has honed my skills in de-escalation and conflict resolution, and has taught me the importance of compassion and empathy in even the most difficult of situations. In addition to my work in the jail system, I have also maintained a thriving private practice, where I take an eclectic approach to therapy.

I enjoy helping people who are curious and thoughtful but struggle with anxiety and relationships and want a better understanding of themselves and their impact on the world around them. I have a specialty in working with people who are overthinkers, who long for deeper connection but get caught in circular patterns of repetitive and persistent thoughts that prevent them from fully being present. I work with individuals and couples to develop new insights into their patterns, mitigate anxiety, establish balance in their lives, and develop and sustain meaningful & satisfying emotional and sexual relations.

I came to practice psychotherapy because I believe life's crises can also provide opportunities for profound change and growth. Therapy should be a safe space for patients to assess what is meaningful and what has been outgrown, what has been lost and what can be gained by working through that loss. Many of my clients work (or play) in the arts; many are trauma survivors. I run an in-person weekly trauma group on Wednesday mornings from 10:30 to noon for women with PTSD from my Westwood office, close to UCLA. If you think you'd like to join, I'll meet with you to discuss it without charge.

You’re smart and successful but you can’t figure this one out. Things look okay on the outside, but on the inside, you feel anxious and confused. You’re already fighting with yourself and the repetitive arguments with your partner or others just add fuel to the fire. The demands of work keep you busy, but you’re unsatisfied and aren’t getting much of what you want. The critical voice in your head telling you that you're not good enough is always present. You’ve tried to change without much success. You’re stuck and don’t know where to start.

I am a clinical psychologist with thirty years of experience in psychotherapy. I work with people struggling with those emotional and relationship problems, including depression, anxiety, intimacy and commitment issues, and the many subtle forms of self-defeating behavior that may limit their success and happiness. Sometimes these problems can be satisfactorily dealt with in a short time. Often they cannot. I like to work with people in both categories; but I most enjoy the challenges and rewards of working with those who must choose the longer path in search of a better solution, and of deeper self-knowledge.

Our lives are constructed from many roles and stories. We, as human beings, are the teller of those tales. Is your narrative one, as Plato stated, flowing from "three sources: desire, emotion, and knowledge?" Is it rich in self-care, dignity, and compassion? Or, are the stories and thoughts you carry heartless, punitive, or corrosive?

Welcome! Life is a balance of holding on and letting go. I believe therapy should be practical and actionable. My focus is on exploring the role your life experiences are playing in how you attach both to and away from yourself and others. You will not be alone in this; together we will work though what’s keeping life stuck and healing the pieces of you that are in need of your attention and care. I fully trust my clients’ truest selves, their inner wisdom, and their capacity to heal. Once the individuals in a couple are healing, transformation is natural.
