All too often struggles deplete our energy and leave us feeling down on ourselves. Through rigorous conversation and a highly supportive relationship, I help people gain the clarity and confidence needed to produce desired change. I have extensive training in postmodern therapies, which examine how dominant cultural discourses can have oppressive effects on our lives, identities, and relationships. Prior to working in private practice, I was part of UCLA's network, where I brought social justice aims to integrative models of mental health. I have many years of experience working with couples, families, youth, and adults.
I have presented nationally and in Canada, Europe, and Asia on therapy with children. I have been a professor of marriage and family therapy at Pepperdine, a practicum instructor in CSUSB's school counseling program, and clinical training director at USC. I am also co-author of the book, Narrative Therapy in Wonderland.
I welcome all inquiries and am happy to speak with you about the possibility of therapy. If I am not the right fit, I will gladly offer you my best recommendations. I have a well-ventilated, large office space located above Le Pain Quotidien in Larchmont Village. I provide in-person and telehealth sessions and have evening and weekend slots available.
