How I work: First we will have an introductory conversation on the phone. I will gain preliminary understanding of the problem you need help with. If I will feel that I may not be the right fit, I will provide you with referrals for therapists who specialize in the issue you are seeking a solution for (i.e., pain management). We will also discuss fees. In our first session I will go over the inform consent and office policies with you and will collect data for the intake. I will become very involved with you and we will work as a team. I will ask you what your goals are and after a couple of sessions, I will discuss the treatment plan with you. You will be in a very safe and supportive environment. I will learn to know who you are and what your personality is and I will adapt the therapeutic process to meet your individual needs. We will discuss your progress as we go along and make changes if the need arises. We will also discuss those changes to ensure that we are on the right direction in your path for personal growth.

I help children and young adults manage and overcome difficult times, providing counseling for grief, anxiety, depression, ADHD, etc. I take great pride working with the neurodiverse to help them better adapt and thrive in their lives.

Psychotherapy, whether it be for the individual, the couple, or the family can be an invaluable experience. Psychotherapy can mean coming to a better understanding of yourself—becoming an expert on the self. It can mean understanding others around you and understanding your relationship with them. There are a variety of reasons why people find therapy helpful. In addition to therapy's being instrumental in helping people confront depression, general anxieties, and drug and alcohol abuse, psychotherapy can also be a valuable tool in helping people through particularly stressful transition times. Every person, every family undergoes life transitions. Some transitions are more stressful than others, and the intensity of the stress may depend on a confluence of events. For example, for some, the death or illness of a family member may be the stressor for which they seek help. For others, it is a career change or a geographic move. Other transitions that may precipitate the need for therapy include the birth of a child, the dissolution of a marriage, or “simply” the youngest's leaving home. Such life events marshal changes in our lives and create a disequilibrium. To learn skills to understand and hurdle the disequilibrium, psychotherapy can be of immense and lasting value.

Don’t let your fear limits you! Since 2002, I have been helping women manage difficult situations when they feel like they are losing control, and find the tools they need dealing with shame, guilt, perfectionism and buried dreams. Have you ever felt like your losing control? “How do I keep from falling apart?” Sometimes it is okay to “just be.” But it can only happen if you give yourself permission. The toll of building a career, being a mother, keeping on top of household chores, maintaining some piece of a social life, staying physically fit, and all the rest we have to do…..after all this – it can leave us feeling pretty depleted and lonely.

I have been a licensed marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles, CA for 24 years. My office is located in West Los Angeles and my office is comfortable, animal friendly and located near the 405 and 10 Freeways. I received my license in 1991 and my background is working with foster children. I started up several programs and found the work rewarding and difficult. Being a foster parent is a hard job because it was always the goal to reunify the child with their parents if at all possible. I started working with transgender people almost 20 years ago and have helped so many people transition to become themselves. I was an active member of the Los Angeles Gender Center for many years before going out on my own with a psychiatrist to start my own company called, Gender Wellness of Los Angeles that has been in practice for over 13 years. I have loved my work in the transgender community and am an active member of World Professional Association of Transgender Health. As an organization we were instrumental in getting Gender Identity Disorder removed from the DSM-IV and replaced it with Gender Dysphoria. It is no longer a mental disorder and is now considered a medical condition. As a member of this organization, I am active in working with policy and procedures for the transgender community and helping them get access to the best doctors, mental health providers and all other resources necessary for a happy and successful transition. My company is called Gender Wellness of Los Angeles and we are able to provide the necessary letters needed for hormones and sex confirming surgeries to the female to male and male to female transgender person. We provide individual, family and couples counseling as well as referrals to a psychiatrist for psychotropic medications if needed. Additionally, I work with the gay/lesbian population as well as anyone seeking therapy who wants to change behaviors that are no longer working for them in their lives. I use a direct approach and believe that the client and myself are a team working together to improve relationships to friends, family, co-workers and loved ones.

My job is to get you back to living and enjoying life and relationships. When you come to me, I will do four things. 1. I will assess your relationship pattern of relating. 2.

I will help you implement the new techniques until you successfully use them in your relationship. You must find a therapist with whom you are comfortable. I don't want to waste your time and money. If you are tired of your old pattern of living, want to change, are willing to do some hard work to change, together, we can reach your goal. If you are serious about changing your life, give me a call, and you may ask me for a free consultation.

Do you feel like you need somebody to talk to? Have you been thinking about seeing a psychologist or counselor for a while? Many people like yourself seek a therapist out, rather than solely friends or family, for different reasons. Some are worried they may be judged. Some don't think others necessarily "get" them. Other people don't want to feel like they are burdening friends and family with their problems. Perhaps you think friends and family have done their share of listening, and it's time for you to work with a professional. I believe that almost everybody, from time to time, can use the help of a psychologist or therapist. Most of the people I see in my practice are highly successful professionals (I include in this group stay-at-home parents, whom I consider to be both successful and professional). Services offered include: Counseling (in person, and phone sessions available) Couples Counseling Life Coaching Sliding Scale Counseling

INDIVIDUAL PSYCHOTHERAPY I work with adults and adolescents who have a wide range of emotional and interpersonal difficulties. My approach to psychotherapy is to create a safe environment through supportive listening and empathy that will enable my clients to talk about patterns in their lives that are causing them distress. I help my clients understand how their problems developed and what will be required to work through their difficulties. One important aspect of psychotherapy involves accessing the unconscious mind through the exploration of one's thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviors, and through the interpretation of dreams. This opens the door to resolving difficulties that my clients are having, and to developing healthier relationships and new sources of self-worth and life satisfaction. I work with individuals in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy with the following treatment goals: Overcoming Depression & Anxiety Enhancing Self-Esteem Improving Intimate Relationships Resolving Work & School Difficulties Reducing Stress & Health Problems Controlling Destructive Habits with Hypnosis Coping with Loss & Life Transitions Addressing Type "A" Personality Issues Controlling Attention Deficit Disorder Resolving Issues From Childhood RELATIONSHIP & MARITAL THERAPY I work with couples with a wide range of problems on improving the quality of their relationships.

I use practical exercises and techniques to helps couples improve relationship skills and decrease patterns of relating that cause frustration and emotional upset. I teach couples how to express feelings constructively and how to listen compassionately in order to increase mutual understanding. I help couples create a healthy balance between togetherness and independence and work out many types of conflicts such as: sexual difficulties, power imbalances, monetary struggles and family conflicts. I do intensive work with couples by looking at each partner's intimacy issues as seen in their prior romantic relationships and their childhood experiences.

Relationships are the cornerstone of a happy and successful life. Depression, anxiety, and anger can disrupt your ability to form and sustain healthy relationships with others and with yourself. The ways you choose to cope with and react to your strong and stressful emotions affect your sense of well-being and self-esteem, which naturally affect your ability to feel effective in your work and social life. I provide a supportive therapeutic environment in which you can explore your own ability to relate to others and to gain a greater understanding of yourself. I work well with older adolescents, young adults and couples who struggle with identity, family, communication problems, and coping abilities. Often, we will explore substance use, sexuality, and verbal/physical aggression. Together, we will explore the foundations for these behaviors and work to create the positive change you desire. I do my best to create a safe space that allows for the development of trust and confidence in the therapeutic relationship. My client's comfort is of utmost importance; I want you to feel supported as we begin to explore your inner world and the world of your relationships.

If you are reading this, you may very well be suffering and in need of support to live your life with less dread and more joy, less doubt and greater assurance, less anger and more self-control. If you are seeking services, you are already moving in the right direction by identifying the intent and developing the motivation needed to affect desired changes. A plethora of support services exist, and if you can receive the help you need from less-intensive and/or less-expensive sources, I encourage you to do so. Thankfully there are many self-help groups, such as Alcoholics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous, as well as the National Alliance on Mental Illness that can offer great support on the road to recovery. In fact, if you retain my services, I would most likely suggest that you and your family increase and refine your connections to the community, church, and support groups that promote positive growth and well being. Change is not only possible, it is inevitable. Too often we live our lives as though we are permanently enslaved and predestined to be wasted in self-inflicted pain. Most people have moments of clarity in which they understand and appreciate the ability to willfully change the causes and conditions of their lives, but sadly they are caught up in circumstances and surrounded by people who are deeply invested in the familiarity of suffering. As such, opportunities for change are unfulfilled

I offer an integrative track to psychotherapy that combines insight oriented therapies with a solution focused approach to help individuals and couples make more effective choices and transition through challenging moments in their lives. I work with individuals on issues of self-esteem, life and career transitions, anxiety, depression, stress management, and women's issues. I help couples, who feel they are stuck in a relationship that has lost it's emotional connection, to identify the patterns of behavior that led them to loose their bond. I work from an emotionally focused approach known as Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFT), helping couples identify disruptive patterns that include, blaming , criticizing, defensiveness, expressions of contempt, and emotional or physical distancing. I work to increase a couple's understanding of each other's emotions, building trust and a secure base from which they can reach out to one another. Partners learn to recognize the negative cycle they are stuck in, identify what keeps them in that cycle, and rebuild the safety and trust necessary to have a deep connection and satisfying relationship.

I offer psychoanalytic psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples and families and groups in my private practice in East London and Central and through Skype. After two sessions of consultation I can offer once to five times per week sessions. Normally it takes at least one to two years to get results. I offer individual psychoanalytic psychotherapy for children, adolescents and adults that experience emotional difficulties in order to understand the unconscious reasons behind and to restore the balance in the mind. The setting that I offer is a space where the person can express whatever comes to the mind and to establish a relationship with me that will help the growing process. With children I use the play technique where the child uses the play and drawings to expresses the emotions and I give back an understanding of the meaning. With adolescent and adult the words are the main medium of meaning and understanding how to further the development process. From one session to four sessions per week is the space where is possible to explore the inner reasons of any psychological and emotional difficulties.

Are you struggling to connect with your child? Do you have difficulty setting boundaries and getting results? PARENTING IS HARD. There are no books or guidelines to follow. Sometimes you just sit there and think, “Where did I go wrong?” or “How did we end up like this?” You want to be a support and help your child while also setting appropriate boundaries and providing a good example. I help parents connect with their children and bridge the gap in communication. Children and adolescents tend to feel misunderstood by adults, especially their parents. My specialty is assisting in creating that understanding relationship, while also allowing parents to maintain the appropriate boundaries necessary to allow their children to thrive.

Hello! I guess if you are reading this, you are looking for someone to work with and considering whether psychotherapy or counselling might be something for you... Psychotherapy can help you to understand some of the patterns, dynamics and relationships during your life that may be affecting the way you feel and live your life now. It provides a safe, confidential place in which to explore the things that matter to you and what helps to give you a sense of meaning, hope and purpose - and the things that get in the way of this when things are difficult. It usually involves once-weekly face-to-face meetings, although sometimes more often, depending on what is needed. I have experience of working with a wide range of issues and disciplines in different settings and am open to finding a language and way of working with each person I meet which is fitting for them. If you would like to arrange a time to have a chat on the phone or to arrange a free one-off meeting to see how we get on, do please be in touch. I would be delighted to meet you.
