"Sometimes... you need more than a friend...."
I am the founder of a group of very well trained and experienced therapists known as the LA Trauma Therapy Specialists. We have committed our practices to helping women, teens, children, adults, couples and families in coping with trauma and life crises. We deal with women's issues, lif
In my practice as a therapist I use the research on what works to help my clients get the outcomes they want: better relationships, managed anxiety, less depression, and more control over life. I pursued a few paths in life before my career in mental health. I studied Modern Literature at the University of California, Santa Cruz. I worked for years
I value and enjoy working collaboratively to help you identify and overcome obstacles to inner calm, peace, and happiness. My approach is integrative and customized to address each individual client’s life circumstances, needs, and wishes.

I have been in practice since 2007 and have been featured on ABC, NBC, and KCAL as an expert psychologist. I work primarily with men who have hit “rock bottom” and would like help getting up. These men are often in crisis when we first meet. The issues I address are typically related to unhealthy sexual behaviors, infidelity, financial
My deepest wish is for you to know that you have everything you need in order to be happy RIGHT NOW. You are enough. And if you have a partner(s), you deserve happiness in your relationship. Has something in your life led you to believe this isn’t true? My passion is to support you in healing the wounds of the past, fostering a loving relatio
It may be difficult to navigate life while experiencing uncertainty, unpleasantness, fear, worry, confusion, or stagnation. The process of therapy allows a space in which we gradually work towards: clarity, centeredness, acceptance, peace, and autonomy. The therapeutic journey offers an opportunity to reach our desired outcomes in a manner that is
