I’m a licensed psychotherapist and life coach in Los Angeles, California. Psychotherapy has always been a passion of mine, and going back to school confirmed for me that this is my life’s work. After completing my master’s degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, I trained at Southern California Counseling Center (SCCC) and worked with at-risk teens at two non-public schools. Soon after I began working with individuals with eating disorders and developed and ran the Partial Day Treatment Program at an established eating disorder treatment center in Santa Monica for over two years. Since then I have been in private practice and have supervised interns at various sites and in my private practice.
In addition to using Dialectical Behavior Therapy and traditional talk therapy, I am a certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Clinician, and I am also trained in Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) as well as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR.) With my clients I use whatever modality is more appropriate for his or her needs, and I tailor the treatment specifically for the individual or couple. I have experience working with those struggling with mood disorders (depression/anxiety), eating disorders and body image issues, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, self esteem issues, substance abuse/alcoholism, parenting issues, LGBT issues, life transitions, women’s issues, etc.
My goal with each client is to help them manage their lives in a different way–not getting rid of anxiety but bringing it to a level where they are able to function productively and move forward. We all deserve to feel loved and supported.
All sessions are being held via Zoom or phone until further notice.
