I have been providing empathic evidence-based psychotherapy for over 25 years to clients from different walks of life. Our work together can orient you toward tools and resources which can help you embrace your authentic self, experience greater well-being, and live a more meaningful and prosperous life. By providing a safe therapeutic space, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and rise above your life challenges.
My experience includes body-mind therapy (Somatic Experiencing), trauma healing, improving mood, relationship exploration, addiction/recovery therapy, cultivating resilience and authenticity, finding life purpose, embracing creativity, coping with loneliness, improving work-life balance, LGBTQ counseling, managing eco-anxiety, and insomnia.
My professional experience also includes teaching with the Doctoring 1 Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Here, I instructed medical students on topics related to patient-centered interviews, ethics/professionalism, empathy, and cultural sensitivity. Feel free to call me today. I look forward to the opportunity to work together.
