Psychotherapy is intended to help individuals and couples relieve different forms of emotional pain or confusion. My approach to psychotherapy is to provide an experience that is fashioned specifically for YOU.

 

With over 40 years of experience as a licensed psychotherapist and marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles, (conveniently located for those in Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, and Santa Monica). I have had success in treating individuals and couples with a wide range of behavioral and emotional issues. Everyone is unique and requires a specific set of solutions that fit with their particular personality and vision for their lives and their future.

 

I am also the author of the award-winning book Happy Together: Creating a Lifetime of Connection, Commitment, and Intimacy, which explores the emotional foundations of successful relationships.

 

Throughout my career, I have written extensively about relationships, emotional healing, shame, conflict, and the process of becoming more comfortable with ourselves. After more than four decades, I continue to find psychotherapy a deeply meaningful and rewarding profession.

 

In-Person and Online Psychotherapy

 

My office is conveniently located in Brentwood, Los Angeles, serving individuals and couples from Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Westwood, Beverly Hills, Century City, and surrounding Westside communities. I also offer remote psychotherapy through video appointments for people that live too far away.

 

Taking the First Step

 

Beginning psychotherapy can be difficult, especially when you have been struggling with problems for a long time. You may have tried to resolve these difficulties on your own, only to find that the same feelings and patterns continue to return. You do not have to understand everything about your difficulties before seeking help. That is part of what we can discover together.

 

I welcome the opportunity to speak with you about your concerns and determine whether my approach might be helpful.

Different types of emotional pain may include anxiety, depression, self-criticism, shame, compulsions and difficulty with relationships.
