Change Starts With The First Step

 

Improving relationships and taking better care of yourself emotionally.

Change starts with the first step. Insight paired with action drives lasting change. However taking the step to foster change in one's emotional life can be frightening and overwhelming. With me you will find a safe, caring environment, where together we travel a path of emotional discovery that will lead you to a better life. Based in West Hollywood, my practice is designed to help you understand yourself at a fundamental level, to give you tools and craft an approach that is healing and meets your specific needs. Building trust in the therapeutic journey, in an atmosphere that supports emotional growth and lasting change.

My practice philosophy is centered on a humanistic approach that is interactive, engaged, and strategic. I work with individuals, couples, families, teens and children, working closely to customize treatment for a broad range of life challenges. In addition, I specialize in several key areas of focus which you can read about on my website.

Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions you may have, or to discuss your needs and schedule a consultation. I will do my very best to return calls within 24 hours. Thank you for taking the time to visit, and know that I appreciate your courage in taking this first step toward your passage of emotional self-discovery.
