I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 46689)  in private practice working with children, adults, couples, and families in the Los Angeles area struggling with a wide range of issues, including:

 

Relationship Issues

Self-Esteem/Self-Acceptance
Depression

Anxiety/Fears

Grief and Loss
Child and Adolescent Issues 

Peer Rejection

Areas of specialization:

 

• Adults who feel stuck due to personal changes that have left them wondering if their current personality, lifestyle, and identity still match up with the goals and dreams set forth in their youth.   Our work in therapy together focuses on the search for self-identity, exploration of core needs, and finding congruence between current self and future aspirations. 

 

• Adolescent/pre-adolescent issues, particularly peer rejection.  I have worked in agency and school settings helping young people gain confidence and discover their own resources.   My professional research paper, "Effects of Peer Rejection on Development in Adolescence and Early Adulthood" was published in fall 2006 in Phillips Graduate Institute's Progress Journal.

The psychotherapeutic relationship is unique, and your choice of therapist is an important one.   I hope you will visit this website as an introduction to my philosophical and clinical approach to counseling.   I look forward to helping you make the changes in your life you desire and deserve.
