About My Clients
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.

My Background and Approach
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and life coach in Los Angeles, California. 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 consulted with several local treatment centers. 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 the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) as well as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR.) With my clients I use whatever modality is more appropriate for their needs, and I tailor the treatment specifically for the individual or couple.
