Located in the heart of West Hollywood, CA 90069, I love to implement the same skills I used as Clinical Director of a residential center to help facilitate change and relationship dynamics. Schedule a free consultation call with me on my website to talk more. My approach helps clients understand & modify dysfunctional patterns that hinder connection and closeness. Whether I am working with couples, families or individual clients, my approach aims to bring about improvements in your relationships which in turn helps symptoms such as conflict, depression and anxiety, and to improve creativity & productivity.

I believe in an approach to psychotherapy that is empathetic, collaborative and tailored to an individual's unique needs, where you feel understood from the first meeting. My approach recognizes the importance of the relationship between us, where therapy is an opportunity to make changes in our relationships by working within one in a therapeutic environment where you feel respected and supported. Life can be painful and challenging; my goal is to provide a space that feels safe and non-judgmental in order to experiment with new ways of thinking, gain insight, and have a happier, healthier, and fuller life.

After growing up in a small industrial town in Ohio, I earned a bachelor’s degree from Georgetown University in the nascent field of Psycholinguistics. Upon graduation I became an activist at its inception when West Hollywood became the “first gay city in the US”. As a manager of a major niteclub I'm proud to have the doors for guests and staff alike without regard to race, sexuality, gender identity, or abledness and my Practice reflects such inclusivity. I see primarily Adult Individuals of any age; as well as teens ranging in age from 14yo+; and Couples.

Together we will confirm your strengths and explore paths to sustainable change. Helping people with high emotional sensitivity to develop improved self-perception and more effective coping skills by building on the person they are and not trying to reinvent them is essential. We will begin by focusing on difficult issues in the present and then gain an understanding of past history. I use a range of therapy techniques that best fit each individual. Maturity, humor and a straightforward style enlivens the dialogue in our counseling sessions.

Much of philosophy today contends that modern life is damaged life. Theodor Adorno tells us that this life is wrong and cannot be lived rightly, while Walter Benjamin observes that, in terms of our structures of feeling and knowing the world, “we have become impoverished”. Adorno and Max Horkheimer suggest that magic died long ago. Wrong life, poverty of experience, and the death of magic: how then can we live? This question animates my thought as psychotherapist and educator. Over two decades of clinical practice have taught me that damaged life can be beautiful life, capable of the most radical kind of joy.

Tired of feeling stuck and frustrated? You deserve to live a meaningful and fulfilling life. I can help you accomplish that in numerous ways. While I offer traditional talk therapy, I also offer Somatic Experiencing and EMDR. Both of these modalities utilize an inside-out approach, facilitating healing at a deep, somatic level that endures, rather than trying to convince yourself you are okay when you know you don’t feel it in your body. Plus, you never have to sacrifice one approach for another. We continue to incorporate other modalities, such as psychodynamic, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral interventions, into treatment.

Are you ready to embark on a journey of personal and professional growth and fulfillment with me? I am a Board Certified Clinical Psychologist who embodies a compassionate, understanding, and respectful therapeutic approach with all my clients.

Our work together will enhance your ability to effectively communicate, identify triggers, break maladaptive patterns, and achieve your greatest potential in life.

Are you struggling to communicate your needs in your relationships and feeling misunderstood? Are you walking on eggshells and bottling up your feelings inside?

Are you quick to snap or shut down in the face of stressors? Please know that you are not alone. Together, we'll prioritize being kind to your mind to help transform your life from the inside out. In time, you will feel capable of setting boundaries to protect your energy and honor your needs.
