Better Health Starts Here.

As a psychotherapist who practices from a Transpersonal perspective, I provide therapy for the WHOLE individual. Unlike traditional therapeutic structure, which only considers the Emotional and Intellectual components of the individual, I also focus on the Physical and Spiritual facets of Self. I work with all ages, from small children through geriatric seniors. My specialties include Eating Disorders, Depression, Anger Management, Anxiety and Substance Abuse. I provide therapy to individuals, couples and groups and especially enjoy working with children and adolescents.

To date, EMDR has helped an estimated two million people of all ages relieve many types of psychological stress.

I am a male psychotherapist with 37 years experience in a diverse practice utilizing conventional counseling, body work, meditation / spiritual direction, trauma work and life coaching. A high percentage of my practice is men; I run groups for high functioning men who are seeking to be more effective in their relationships with their families, women and other men, as well as well as in deepening their connection to their own inner lives. I also have female clients who are working on their relationship to themselves and their partners (male and female). I am trained in Gestalt, body-centered psychotherapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems and men's work, as well as main-stream psychotherapy techniques.

My practice is multi-generational. I work with clients as young as 11 years of age up to over 100. I have two office sites, Farmington Hills, MI and Livonia, MI. I also do consulting work at a variety of nursing homes throughout the metro area. Currently I am seeing patients via tele-health during the COVID-19 crisis. I have seen a 4 yr old and a 104 year old patient in the same day. I use an eclectic therapy mode where I choose to use the therapeutic techniques that will work best for not only your psychological condition, but also matched to your personality style to ensure the fastest and most long-standing positive outcome.

“Talk therapy can help you become your true self. I have worked extensively with adults and have a good understanding of childhood issues.I work with individuals and families from an interpersonal approach with a focus on emotions.I believe that all people have resources to solve problems.I am easy to talk to and I have great listening skills. I have worked many years with adolescents in public education. I have had great success with them because I understand what it is like being an adolescent today.

Life is sometimes very difficult. At the same time, you know that within you there is the strength and courage to deal with life's challenges; you just need some guidance to access the power within you. Using a positive, strength-based approach, I will help you set goals for healing and restore the energy you need to begin the healing process. Together we will embark on a journey of recovery. We will discover solutions to some problems and let go of others. It will be a cleansing and renewal experience. You will learn new coping skills and gain more confidence in yourself. Your success is my success!

Of course you are affected by your loved one's behaviors. How could you not be? It makes perfect sense that you would want to support and give to the dear ones in your life. But sometimes focusing on other people can become a problem. Especially if prioritizing others and trying to anticipate their needs before they've even voiced them has been the main source of one's validation, praise, even identity. This pattern can stand in the way of your success if it leaves no energy for your personal development. People can find themselves feeling lost and lonely in their own lives. Feeling purposeless, unmotivated, drifting, can be signs that something is wrong. Because in study after study, human beings have shown themselves to be overwhelmingly drawn to work they are passionate about, motivated to be part of making a difference, endlessly creative when given the right circumstances, wanting to make connections Often people don't talk about the way they are feeling because they're afraid of the stigma of DEPRESSION, what if that's what they're feeling? Perhaps, but most of the time there are simple Life Skills missing in these instances and with a few simple evidence-based tools in hand there can be major change. A person can see themselves having more success in communication in general, but specifically in negotiating what they need at their jobs to make it worthwhile for them to be there. They can see themselves suddenly not paralyzed when major things don't go as planned because they know how to talk themselves through it, who to reach out to for help, and how to take care of themselves until they feel better enough to make decisions from a healthier emotional/mental state. They are able to put into play a few regular practices that support self connection and develop emotional intelligence allowing them to think on their feet, experience and identify emotion in the moment and not have to act on it, see and articulate choice and so many other emotional intelligence capacities. If you are experiencing difficulty in personal relationships, finding it hard to function at work or in the rest of your life, experiencing either a confused, dissociated state or an extreme loss of motivation, struggles with self-esteem, a chronic self criticism, not acknowledging your successes or thinking you have none? You can stop feeling badly that you struggle with these things. They are often part of a set of behavioral symptoms that has points to a lack of Life Skills, one of those repurposed words, which means several things: *you aren't alone *you are ok *you can feel better because there is help, support, and these skills can be learned There's no reason to struggle alone with this any longer. I offer free consultations so you can call and schedule one today. 415-378-7506

All of my clients--whether individuals or couples--share one commom theme in their experience: they feel stuck and wish not to be. They feel stuck in how they have always addressed the same problem and feel hopeless about things changing for the better. It may be a perpetual, limiting, yet hard to identify thought pattern that feeds upon the feelings and actions it generates. It may simply be a bad habit that no one has thought to challenge or dared to question. The stuckness may stem from a long standing circumstances in your past that you have never felt completely free from. Or it may be something completely new that has you overwhelmed. Whatever the case may be for you, I invite you to contact me to see if I might be a good fit to help you get unstuck.

As a systems-oriented psychotherapist and coach, my goal is to help you find your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

By applying systems therapy approaches and techniques, together we will identify long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life or career.

Private and personalized client centered therapy. The highest outcome from therapy are long-term lasting intimate relationships. Sometimes we can become overwhelmed by our life situations and are unable to successfully integrate our experiences. Instead we are taken hostage by our symptoms and without professional help the best we able to do is experience temporary relief. Quality therapy produces trait change which is permanent. Sessions are paced and have a progressive informed consent approach that keeps you in the "window of tolerance" and self-regulation techniques are taught and practiced to ensure your ability to ground yourself. Mindfulness techniques help you to stay present and breath techniques help you experience mind-body relief.

OVERVIEW Together we look at your life to see what works, what doesn’t, and why. We’ll see who you are, the relationships you’re in, and what stops you from having the life you want. We’ll see how you act, think, feel, and relate to others today and how those have been affected by your life experiences. We’ll work to change things so your life does work for you. TRAUMA You may feel anxious, depressed, or alienated. Here you can feel safe, talk honestly about what happened and about how it still affects you, even when other people don't understand or can't stand to hear it any more. I help you understand why you’re reacting as you do, even when you may feel out of control or a little "crazy." You'll learn ways to work through the psychological and emotional impact of what happened so you can get your life back. If you or your family member is a victim of violent crime, you may be eligible for therapy at no cost to you. ADDICTIONS (Substances and Behaviors) You might have difficulty with alcohol or drugs, or you may need help evaluating if that’s true, how great the difficulty is, or what you can do about it. You may also be asking similar questions about sexual behaviors or compulsions, porn, gambling, Internet usage, spending, eating, cutting, or anything else you do that feels questionable or out of control. Some people feel like they are addicted to another person, what sometimes is referred to as "love addiction." GAY/LESBIAN/BISEXUAL ISSUES While I work with heterosexuals, I also work with many gay, bisexual, or lesbian people, both individually and in couples. If you’re in a process of self-discovery, you’ll be the one to decide what your sexual orientation and identity is. If you’re now coming out, together we can consider if, when, how, and with whom you decide to do it. If you’re clear and comfortable with your sexual orientation, I can give you safe place where you can be open about who you and how HIV has impacted your life or your relationships MIND/BODY The mind and body are functionally identical. What you think affects how you feel, and what you feel affects how think. I work at both levels, with people who are interested in doing that. For people who aren't interested in the this work, I am happy to stay strictly in a talk-therapy mode. YOU SET THE COURSE, AND I'LL HELP YOU GET THERE.

My practice offers inclusive and compassion focused individual and couple counseling and consultation. I help people learn how to observe their thoughts and feelings with less judgment. Mindfulness, empathy and self-compassion training is also offered. For couples, the Gottman method is an evidence-based approach to help you connect and communicate effectively to build a joyful connection and friendship with your partner. My style is active, warm, non-judgmental with a little gentle humor, as well. I consider and honor differences in how men and women think and feel. Should you decide to consult with me, you will be comfortable and supported in whatever style suits you best. There is no one right way to communicate, the key is understanding what makes each other tick and learning how to connect effectively. We all want to be seen and loved for who we are. We don’t want to feel stuck or worried or stressed. My practice includes counseling and support for individual adults, couples, interfaith couples, co-parents, new parents, families, mothers, fathers, teens, and women who may be struggling with the symptoms of postpartum depression. I also consult with parents who may have concerns about their child/teen and adults who want to make sense of their relationships with their own parents.

Clients often pursue counseling because of specific issues or because life has become more stressful and difficult as their previously used coping skills begin to fail. Past issues, losses, traumatic events, and present day transitions factor in to create struggles and issues that need to be worked through successfully. I believe that in working together as a team to find new, more constructive coping skills, the client can move from just surviving to actually thriving in their day-to-day environments, finding contentment, peace, and joy in and from life once again. I employ play therapy in my work with children as young as three years of age, as well as the use of other psychoeducational and therapeutic activities with adolescents, adults and families to help them make the needed changes. I am also Board Certified as a Professional Christian Counselor and incorporate Grace-Based Biblical Counseling in my work with families.

I treat Adults, Adolescents and Couples primarily utilizing a Cognitive Behavioral approach but also incorporate Positive Psychology, Solution Focused, Transpersonal and Mindfulness concepts. Helping people learn to understand their thinking processes and also identify patterns of behavior that may no longer meet their needs is an important part of the process of making both short term and long terms changes. My philosophy stresses personal insight and responsibility, health and wellness - integrating the physical, intellectual, spiritual, and emotional in an open environment that allows people to commit to change. I believe that giving people skills, allows them to manage their lives in a healthier manner regardless of what the future holds for them. .

I am a NY State licensed psychoanalyst. My clinical approach is psycho-dynamically based, which means that I focus on unconscious factors that underlie one's problems. However, I recognize that some problems may respond better to a different orientation. When appropriate, I work eclectically, incorporating other therapy models, including EMDR and hypnotherapy. In my experience, professional orientation is not what matters most in the therapeutic process. Far more important is the quality of the alliance between patient and therapist. I work with a diverse patient population, from children and adolescents to adults, including seniors. Treatment modalities include individual therapy, couples and family group sessions. I provide a comfortable therapeutic environment to work with patients on achieving a secure sense of self, increased self-esteem and a sound relationship with self and others. In private practice for over 20 years, I have extensive experience working with depression, anxiety and phobias, relationship issues, anger management, sexual identity issues, grief and loss. Additionally, I frequently work with bipolar and borderline patients My work schedule offers daytime and evening appointments; my fee schedule is flexible.

Many of us are reluctant to try psychotherapy until we have exhausted every conceivable means of coping with our problems. The reasons that we don't seek professional help is complex. But whether it is fear of change, pessimism or defensiveness the root may be not wanting to face ourselves. Effective therapy is about facing things about ourselves that we either can't or don't want to see. There are obvious reasons for our lack of success in love, work and relationships, yet we remain blind to them. We know that angry communication never works but we continue to act as if it does. We withhold our true feelings not only from others but ourselves. We wander through our lives sometimes dazed, sometimes confused and often disconnected. We are hurting but act as if we are invulnerable. We can be pleasant, polite to a fault, generous and kind, but, alas, feel empty at the same time. Media about movies about aliens, robots and the undead reflect the alienation from self that is so prevalent in contemporary life. We look away from ourselves. We think that problems are outside of ourselves not within us. Learning to solve the problems within us is a major goal in psychotherapy. “You have every right to expect psychotherapy to be a force for personal growth. An effective therapist will help you see your problems clearly, so that solutions become emotionally apparent and therefore, accessible. Successful therapy will address your anger and anxiety. will diminish your shame, self-blame and self-doubt. It will help you to face yourself in ways that you have avoided or been unaware of. Effective therapy makes change inevitable. If therapy does not succeed in addressing of deep frustration with self and others, it's not working. Interventions are designed to raise self-esteem, self-respect, personal authority and improve interpersonal communication underlying feelings of loneliness and isolation. I have been a licensed therapist for over four decades. My expertise is based on a wealth of personal as well as professional experience. I am familiar with every phase of the life cycle and the particular issues that arise in each phase of your journey. I encourage you to take the first step toward self-exploration. I hope to aid you in your self-affirmation.

Are you feeling anxiety, stress, depression, or struggling in your relationships? Do you struggle with body image concerns or eating disorders? If so, you are not alone. These are often due to struggles of everyday life. Ask yourself the questions below and keep reading to see how together we can help you develop the skills you need to better cope with these issues. Do you worry more than most people? Have you had a panic attack? Do you obsess over certain things? Do you avoid certain situations due to anxiety? Does your anxiety prevent you from doing the things you want to do? Are you typically tense and on edge? Are you always on alert? If you have answered yes to these questions you may suffer from anxiety. As a therapist I can teach you ways to identify the thoughts, feelings and actions that maintain your anxiety. In therapy we will work on ways to change them. In addition I will teach you ways to cope with and manage your stress. Life is full of normal ups and downs. But if you have been feeling sad almost every day, most of the day for longer than 2 weeks and you are having difficulty with your normal life functioning, you may have symptoms of depression. Are you feeling sad and blue? Do you have difficulty finding enjoyment out of life? Have you had recent weight loss or weight gain? Are you having trouble with sleep? Loss of energy Difficulty concentrating or making decisions? Thoughts of suicide? If you have answered yes to several of these questions, and are feeling overwhelmed, it’s time to seek help. I will help you to understand the cause of your depression and teach you ways to improve your mood. Is your relationship in trouble? Does it lack passion? Is there constant conflict in your relationship? Do you have difficulty attaining or maintaining relationships? Are you having trouble with communication? Have you or your partner engaged in an affair? Do you seem to keep ending up with someone who ultimately disappoints you? If so, you may benefit from couples or marriage counseling. You may benefit from couples counseling if you answer yes to any of these questions. Together we can help you identify your sources of trouble. Then I can teach you the skills necessary to meet your relationship needs and improve intimacy. Do you feel depressed or uncomfortable with your appearance? Do you spend too much time worrying about what you look like? Do you replay the same negative thoughts about your body over and over in your mind? Do you evaluate your self-worth primarily by your appearance? Do you binge eat or purge? Do you severely restrict your calorie intake? Do you over exercise? Most of us have some minor dissatisfaction with the way we look. However, if you have answered yes to several of the above questions you may have poor body image or an eating disorder. When these concerns greatly impact our mood, life functioning, or intimacy in our relationships, it is time to seek help. I can help you understand the reasons behind your poor body image/eating disorder such as negative beliefs, media influences, family influences, interpersonal influences, or past abuse. Then we can work on ways to help you develop a healthy body image. Many people are reluctant to contact a therapist because they feel something needs to be seriously wrong with them. However, that is far from the truth. Most of the people who seek my services are well functioning adults that are going through a difficult time in life. If you are struggling within your relationships, having trouble dealing with strong emotions, or not functioning as well as you have in the past, you may find it beneficial to speak with a professional. Reaching out for help is actually a sign of strength.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Psychiatric Technician, and Masters level Addictions Counselor in Pasadena, California. Since 1984, I’ve been providing mental health services for adults and adolescents in both inpatient and/or outpatient settings. As such, I have a varied experience with abuse, trauma, depression, grief/loss, issues of personal growth, relationships, stress, and mental illness. During that time I have also worked extensively with addictions (of all types) and related issues (“co-dependency”, eating disorders, alcoholism, dual diagnosis…). My responsibilities have ranged from Licensed Psychiatric Technician (where much of my experience in mental health and medications comes from), to Program Director. Currently I am in private practice, life coaching, teaching, providing clinical supervision to prelicensed therapists, providing some staff training and consultation.

If you are looking for a very compassionate and accepting yet active therapist, that is definitely my style. Clients often comment on how comfortable they feel with me, even in the first session. Are you wanting help in setting clear goals at the beginning of the therapy process? We can easily collaborate on that, and make it easier to track progress. As a result, you will be able to heighten the chances of resolving your issues more quickly. If you like, we can also look at deeper, underlying issues. You will be less apt to repeat old, unwanted behaviors as a result.

As a highly specialized Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I offer tailor-made and structured treatments for all forms of mood and anxiety disorders. If your symptoms include medical issues or chronic pain conditions, I can particularly be helpful as I am a trained medical psychologist and my practice is set up to help individuals who are coping with ongoing health conditions that have affected their quality of life. I use the most up-to-date clinical assessment tools to obtain specifics on ways a person's life has been affected by their illness or mood problems. We will then set out a short-term but intensive treatment program that will address the specifics of your needs. You can expect in-between-sessions therapy homework which leads to the improvement and the change you are looking for. Most patients report an incredible reduction in their pain or the status of their mood problems, and most patients find that they have gained significant improvement over the way they cope with their disease. An initial phone consult is free. Let us see if Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is for you.

My intent is to help you deal with problems you're facing and lead a more fulfilling life. I have a strong track record of helping people overcome difficulty, struggle and confusion in their lives. I'll work to help you discover new ways of experiencing yourself in the world. I use an integrative mind/body approach to psychotherapy in facilitating change toward contentment and vitality. I work with couples and individuals around issues of intimacy, self-worth, life transition, purpose and spiritual inquiry. My background includes extensive training in Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy. This approach incorporates the Buddhist practice of mindfulness, or compassionate self-observing, to help explore unconscious beliefs and change self-defeating patterns. I draw on many sources and therapeutic models in my work. I also place great importance on providing an environment where you feel safe to freely and creatively explore your inner world. My style is collaborative, engaged and supportive. I’d be glad to talk further about your particular situation and needs.

NYC AFFIRMATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY LCSW PLLC is a community focused sustainable sliding scale mental health practice in Manhattan providing treatment to individual adults ages 18+. Our mission is simple: provide affirmative psychotherapy in a sustainable way to the community. By affirmative we mean that we do not view individuals from the perspective of being defective or needing to be fixed. We instead recognize the innate strengths that continue to allow people to function while enduring difficult life circumstances. Challenging childhoods and distressing adult experiences, coupled with the toxic impact of systemic oppression, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism and xenophobia impact our mental health. Our goal is to fill a gap in mental health services provided to those that are historically marginalized and disenfranchised; we are especially committed to serving queer communities of color. We also strive to be culturally aware and trauma-informed. And, most importantly, we’re here to help you feel better and make change. We firmly believe that change is possible and that we as human beings grow in relationships where an empathic and attuned other bears witness to our struggles. You are not alone. Lets take the next step together.

Is your marriage not what you expected? Do you find that you are frequently frustrated with your significant other? Do you need a change? Perhaps there has been an affair? Or you feel like you can't decide whether to leave or stay. I believe that therapy can be life changing. And, who doesn't want to make a few changes for the better?! I want to know that what I am doing is effective, which is why I like to keep up to date with current research and treatment modalities. I love working with couples and individuals who are feeling anxious and stressed out about their relationships.

My practice is a unique type of practice. I am a firm believer that 2 heads are better than one. So, I have decided to form a group network of therapists who collaborate together to provide the best services that we can offer! We do more than just one therapist can do alone. I hired a team of licensed therapists who could work together, each offering a unique perspective, training and expertise, enabling us all to be able to provide you with better trained, skilled and experienced clinicians because we cross-train each other! We discuss case issues and collaborate to offer superior services to our clientele! For example, I am the owner and director of LA Therapy Network. I am a feminist therapist, have special knowledge and experience helping women in transitions and transitional ages, am expert in the treatment of trauma and trauma related syndromes, and I have over 25 years working with alternative families, adolescents, women and various sexual and gender variant communities. I am especially knowledgeable about women's issues, sex crimes, impact of sudden deaths, teen issues and the GLBTQI communities. I am trained in the treatment of extreme forms of trauma and chronic, repeated abuse/violence. If you are a person dealing with rape, incest or sexual abuse/violence for example, I am ideal therapist to contact. However I don't have as much experience in the treatment of couples, but I do have 2 therapists who are excellent at treating couples! So, if you are a gay male couple who is seeking a sensitive therapist who has an expertise in trauma you may seek me out. I will consult with my colleagues who treat couples to ensure that I am providing you with better care. I have ready access to therapists who are more knowledgeable and thus you benefit! Whereas if I were in practice on my own, you'd be left to getting only my knowledge and you'd have to hope I knew enough about what I was doing. This is really the truth about individual private practices. A therapist only is as good as his/her training. And let’s face it, there is only so much one can focus their training on. Thus... a group network of therapists makes all of us better! I make sure that every therapist here has different training, expertise and approaches and understandings of how to help clients. That way we all benefit... and that means we can pass our skills as a team onto you! It’s like getting an entire skilled clinical team of experts in one therapist! In addition, let’s say there are situations where I want to refer you out to seek additional services. Often I am just going to refer you to another member of my team. That way you are going to get a better chance of us collaborating closely together! Not so if I were just working on my own. I'd send you out to another professional who is working solo as well. The truth is we won't talk a lot. That means you as the customer get less than ideal care. That’s the whole idea of why I formed LATN, LA Therapy Network!

Seeking out psychotherapy is an investment in yourself so that you can reach your dreams and overcome emotional hurdles like depression, anxiety, trauma, loss, relationship problems, and addictions. I have experience helping hundreds of people jump over these types of hurdles and get more of what they want from life. I do this by creating a safe and confidential space where we can explore and understand what's getting in the way. I work with adolescents, adults, and older adults, as well as group work and families. I specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of people who have substance use and process addictions, depression, anxiety, as well as individuals that have experienced various forms of physical, sexual, and psychological abuse, and war-related trauma. I utilize mindfulness and acceptance strategies in conjunction with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavioral techniques. I am further certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and most enjoy working with clients to transform painful emotions and experiences into opportunities for healing and growth.

Are you having more intense feelings lately? Tired of trying so hard? Have you lost your creative edge and become too resigned to routine? Life changes. . . even something positive such as a new marriage, child or job can create unfamiliar situations and energies. Anxiety, confusion, irritability or emptiness are signs that its time to check in with yourself. Therapy is often about creating time each week to reflect, question, and evaluate what's going on for you. Many highly sensitive, gifted and talented people have come to pursue what is next with their self understanding and relationship to others. Executives, designers, educators, artists, entrepreneurs, innovators, helping professionals and others have returned over the years to develop further awareness and skills from as far away as Santa Monica, Rancho Palos Verdes, Westlake, La Verne and Downtown LA. Video counseling is available for residents of California (except for psychotherapy). Real-life issues can crop up for those who have emigrated, immigrated, or re-entered the US (within in the last two generations). I have first-hand experience with all three situations and have worked successfully with diplomats, peace corps workers, missionaries and expatriates.

I specialize in treatment of children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families emotional problems and addiction issues. My treatment approach incorporates family systems, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), solution-focused, client-centered, trauma-focused therapy such as EMDR and other evidence-based practice therapeutic interventions. I have special interest in working with individuals struggling with depression, grief, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem, , ADHD, anger,ethnic and gender-related issues, personality disorders, and other work and interpersonal-related issues. My specialty is helping couples struggling with a host of relationship problems relating to communication, problem-solving, conflict-resolution, lack of intimacy, and personality differences, and incompatible expectations. My practice mostly serves active duty members, retirees, veterans, and their dependents. I am familiar with the military way of life since I am a veteran myself and is married to a retired service member. So, if you need help in understanding the sources of your difficulties, learn healthy coping skills to manage your symptoms, and willing to commit to working hard to obtain emotional well-being, take the first step and call or email me and make an appointment today.

I'm a solution-focused therapist with 30 years experience helping people change their lives. Do you have patterns that keep landing you in unhappy relationships?

My job as your therapist is to help you identify core issues and patterns that impede your well-being and, in partnership with you, develop strategies for improving how you function, think and act in the world. My style is interactive, warm, compassionate, and sometimes humorous. Therapy should produce tangible change, not just insight. Working with the right therapist can have an enormous impact on the quality of your life. Why wait another minute? Let's talk.

As a psychotherapist serving Newport Beach, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Newport Coast I work with couples and individuals who are experiencing relationship problems, depression, anxiety, grief, effects of trauma, and marital issues. Change does not occur easily and yet I continue to be inspired each day by the courage and motivation of the people I work with to challenge patterns that repeatedly cause heartache and turmoil, the effects of trauma from the past, and the problematic issues of daily living. No matter what the issue is, the most important aspect of therapy is developing a comfortable and trusting relationship with your therapist. I work in a way that provides that for each of my patients. So, If you're tired of the way your life is going, or if there are certain aspects that you know need some attention, I'd like to talk with you to see how I may be able to support you through your therapeutic process. I am caring, understanding and easy to talk to, and I provide a safe, comfortable place for you. I specialize in helping people live more fulfilling lives in their family, relationships and worklife. I also help people with increasing their confidence, as well as working through the effects of trauma, and issues from the past.

Seeking counseling can be a difficult first step. It can be difficult for us to acknowledge our pain, and often we feel guilty about it. Feelings are not good or bad, they just are—the consequences of those feelings are what we can influence. Counseling is important because it can provide a safe place to speak the truth about what we are going through. Our truth is powerful and can be a motivator for making changes to how we feel and what we do. Counseling can help us identify our values, goals, and beliefs and to harness them to help us heal. Only you know what hurts, what brings you joy, and what changes you want to make. I can collaborate with you as you connect with your truth. I believe that knowing our truth liberates and empowers us. Change is a journey and it is often hard to make alone. I would be honored to accompany you for this part of your journey. I work with clients who are struggling with substance abuse, addiction, anxiety, depression, and anger. I also work with clients who have criminal charges and criminal convictions, usually related to drugs or alcohol. I have special training in working with clients who have diverse cultural, spiritual, race, class, gender, and sexual identities.

Do you wonder if you and your partner are growing apart? Do you keep having the same argument, without anything changing? Do you feel like giving up? Sometimes the feelings that bring couples together get lost in the struggles of everyday life. Learn how to resolve conflicts and share feelings without arguing. Create deeper intimacy instead of distance. Grow together instead of drifting apart. I work with couples and individuals to help them grow together and stay together. I would like to help you and your partner develop a more loving relationship.

Since my training at Columbia University I have enjoyed a long and fulfilling career as a psychotherapist. I specialize in helping couples, adults, and adolescents identify and change destructive behaviors, build better relationships and achieve their potential. I work with a diverse clientele regardless of cultural background or sexual orientation. I do both short and long term therapy in a nurturing, nonjudgmental environment adapting my treatment to the client’s needs. I am certified in EMDR, a time efficient method for treating post traumatic stress disorder and other issues. In general my approach is psychodynamic and cognitive behavioral. I am particularly adept in dealing with relationship problems, depression, grief, anxiety and trauma related issues. In addition to my private practice I am a clinical supervisor and have supervised experienced therapists in family service, eating disorders, addictions, DUI and probation programs. I also have extensive experience in parent training. I empower people to make changes when they feel stuck and dissatisfied with their life. I believe every human being can confront and overcome emotional blocks to achieve their goals and live a meaningful life.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (lic # 50848) specializing in individual, couples and family therapy and I maintain a private practice in Westlake Village, California.

Do you feel that your life is out of control? Do you feel misunderstood? Are you worried about the way your child or teenager is behaving? Do you wish things could be different? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, then you’re not alone. Many of us experience ups and downs, and perhaps you’re experiencing more downs than ups. So how do you change that? Sometimes all it takes is one or two changes to get your life moving in a more positive direction. Together, we can figure out the changes that you can comfortably make to achieve a more fulfilling relationship, or to have a better understanding of your child or teenager, so that you will experience a sense of calm and happiness in your everyday life. I can also meet with your child or teen, individually or in a group setting and help them with issues such as: anger management, bullying, depression, socialization skills, and drugs & alcohol abuse. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I have created a therapy system called OM Rhythm Therapy, using hand drums and small percussion instruments, which I use with children and adults. I also play the didgeridoo, an Australian Aborigine instrument which is one of the oldest instruments known. The didgeridoo induces a meditative state, as well as a form of vibrational healing.

The Center for Psychological Wellness provides an environment where people come for support and direction for a number of issues that cause distress and pain. If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues or distressing experiences from the past that still effect you in the present , the Center is the place for you. The experienced therapists that practice at the Center, use a variety of effective modalities to help individuals, and couples to cope with the stressors that lead to dysfunctional behavior and painful emotions. New coping strategies are learned by clients to improve the areas in life in which one may feel stuck. Learn to communicate more effectively, alleviate/eliminate the painful issues causing anxiety and/or depression. Raise your self-esteem and self-confidence to live a fuller more satisfying existence. It can be done, and we can help you.

Although often difficult periods of change can give us opportunities to bring our lives more in alignment with what has true value and meaning for ourselves. I work with people during important transitions in their lives, for instance either starting or leaving a significant job or relationship. Communication, trust, intimacy and/ or sexual issues win your relationship? I am very comfortable working with traditional, open/ poly and queer relationships. I can assist you and your partner(s) to develop better communication and understanding around sensitive topics such as betrayal, intimacy and trust. I use an approach called EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) developed by Dr Sue Johnson. Clinical research shows that 90% of couples report significant improvement within 12-20 sessions of EFT. As former Director of the Eating Disorders program at Community Institute of San Rafael, Marin, I work with people who obsess that if they only had the perfect weight their lives would work out. So many of us through over dieting and body hatred have lost our connection to ourselves. The body instead of being home for our psyche/ spirit becomes the battleground. I work with clients to end their battle with food and their bodies. Look at my video describing the popular teleclass series for how to empower yourself during the holidays especially when dealing with stressors around food and family: "Empower Don't Devour!' Do you feel emotionally stuck in the past? You might be suffering from trauma. I help my clients move through past traumatic experiences using EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing) This well researched method has fast and effective results in working with people suffering from trauma. I also help my clients release the cellular and muscular memory of the trauma (which is where trauma is often stored) using somatic psychotherapy. This is an approach that taps into body awareness and mindfulness, which does not involve touch. Finally I have found Depth Hypnosis to be a highly effective tool for helping my clients get out of stuck places and create the change they want.

I maintain a general private practice with a specialty in the treatment of trauma, primarily working virtually (over Zoom) with some in-person availability in my office in Montclair, New Jersey. Whether you have experienced a major traumatic event, suffer from from acute or chronic anxiety and/or depression or whether you are feeling frustrated or stuck in repetitive patterns in your work or personal life, effective psychotherapy can help bring about symptom resolution, personal growth, and positive, lasting change. I am an active participant in each treatment and will work relationally with you to address your concerns. I also specialize in the use of more body-based modalities such as Presence psychotherapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) SE (Somatic Experiencing), IFS (Internal Family Systems), and CT (Coherence Therapy). I have found, and current research is validating, how essential a healthy mind/body connection is to facilitating any real and lasting shifts from historic and habituated patterns to new, more adaptive ones, and I have found these modalities particularly effective in this regard.
