About Me
As a therapist, I value and create a safe, nurturing, and empathic environment for individuals, couples, and families to explore underlying issues to relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and abuse of substances. I am trained in EMDR,
which helps a person to quickly move through recent and past trauma and successfully overcome symptoms related to PTSD
(post traumatic stress disorder). We'll work together to help you find a healthy balance between body, mind, and emotions that allow for success in relationships and work, self-empowerment, and to live a life full of hope, meaning, and purpose.
I have over 20 years
experience providing individual therapy, couple therapy, & family therapy. I have a private practice in Santa Monica & Calabasas. I have also been the Clinical Director for Cliffside Malibu, Harmony Place & Ventura Recovery Center, overseeing the clinical programs & providing supervision to psychotherapists.
When my clients ask, what is Psychotherapy?
I simply say, Psychotherapy is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety to name a few.
