| Practice Information |
I have been in practice for over 15 years, and have found that rather than waking up each day and approaching the day as the one we believe we are supposed to have, I help clients reach for the kind of day they want to have.
I work with individuals, couples, children and families, and engage with them in the dynamic that they bring in. Once we define the parts of that dynamic that is not functioning at an optimal level for them, we acknowledge it, address it, process why it exists and then attempt to reconfigure it so that all parties are closer to their desired experience. Rather than approach a therapeutic situation from one particular perspective, I use an ecclectic array of modalities so that I may reach each client in a way that meets their needs.
I work Mondays through Fridays, from 8 am til 7 pm. My office is conveniently located in Beverly Hills, with easy parking. |

| Bio: |
After graduating from the University of Toronto with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature and Criminology, I went on to Leeds University Law School. After years of practicing law, I became aware of the lack of professional satisfaction I was experiencing, and returned to graduate school to obtain my Master's degree in Psychology, as well as my Marriage and Family Therapy credential. I have lived in Israel, Toronto, England and Los Angeles, which I believe has offered me the opportunity to experience, first-hand, diverse cultures and differing attitudes to a myriad of life's issues. I bring all of this with me to the therapy room.
I have spent many years working with children and adolescents, ranging from Special Education needs to Gifted, in various school programs which I developed, as well as in private practice. I have found a way to bond with them, leading to a rewarding outcome in our work together.
I volunteer my time now in giving back to the therapeutic community by offering lectures and continuing education workshops at a variety of non-profit agencies, assisting psychotherapy interns with the facets of the "business" they are pursuing.
And, I enjoy time with my family. |
