Welcome to Gender Wellness of Los Angeles, where I've dedicated 30 years supporting individuals navigating the complexities of gender and sexual identity. Our world has expanded to include a beautiful spectrum of gender-diverse experiences. I choose to embrace a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional binaries of Male-to-Female (MtF) and Female-to-Male (FtM) transitions. Whether you resonate with terms like "trans," "non-binary," or use your own unique identifier, I'm here to walk alongside you. Everyone's path is unique, and self-acceptance is the compass guiding us forward.

I am happy to see the recent focus on the importance of mental health. After a pandemic, difficult social change, and economic uncertainty, it is normal to feel anxiety about the future. I am down to earth and easy to talk to which helps people work through issues more deeply. Using evidence-based approaches, I draw on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and humanistic psychology to help clients move forward in meaningful ways. I tailor therapy to each individual and include all aspects of a person's life, including family dynamics, cultural factors, job/ financial pressures, coping skills and health/ wellness.

Many of us have gone through experiences that leave us feeling stuck, unmotivated, or without hope for change. The promise of psychotherapy is that it offers a path that illuminates the conscious and unconscious limiting beliefs we unknowingly come to identify with. It allows us a framework where insight becomes possible - and the opportunity for a relationship that is dedicated to knowing you deeply. In this sense, I believe we are partners working to understand your motivations, fears, and deepest hopes so that you can feel a greater sense of freedom and empowerment in your life and in your future.

I help people navigate the big choices in life, confront issues like depression and anxiety, and face down bigger problems like addiction or unresolved trauma. Maybe you sense something isn’t quite right — your job, your marriage, your personal relationships and want to get “back on track.” Together we can face difficult choices, move through the stages of change, and help you recover a sense of personal integrity. I work with couples, individuals, and sometimes families to improve communication, explore values, and address underlying issues which may be a source of conflict.

As the global pandemic has shown us, sometimes life becomes overwhelming and uncontrollable. During these times it may be best to talk with someone outside of your community of family, friends or co-workers. A warm hearted professional to lend a moment of support and guidance. I share with clients in deciding how best to approach the issues, with the intent of addressing both the current distressing symptoms and long-standing patterns of behavior that are getting in the way of a thriving life. My practice is telehealth-based, and I accept direct pay (some prefer for privacy) as well as most PPO plans as an Out of Network provider.

So you want to go to therapy because you keep hearing from everyone and their dog that it really works and can make you "feel better" or "unstuck". Problem is, you have very little idea what therapy actually is and are hesitant about talking to a stranger and telling them things about yourself that you think are (for lack of a better word) fucked up. Well, you're not alone in that thought. In fact, I'd say a majority of people are in that boat as the most frequent question I get asked is: "am I weird because I do so and so?" and "is it normal that I do such and such?". Most of us think we're weirdos and everyone else is normal.
