As a Counselor, Therapist, and Psychotherapist, I'm very understanding, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to.  To help you toward your goals, I use a combination of trusted professional therapy methods gently enhanced by eastern holistic wisdom.  I Welcome Various Ages, Cultures, Spiritualities, Sexualities, And Lifestyles, and I always customize therapy to your specific needs.  I have guided many people through emotional healing, difficult life transitions, and exciting personal growth.  You deserve to feel better, too.

Our sessions will be SAFE, CARING, & CONFIDENTIAL so you can freely express yourself.  With my insight and support, and my focus on SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS, we'll explore your feelings, thoughts, and behavior, identify your issues and strengths, and work to create positive, lasting changes in your life.

In my comfortable, peaceful office, located in Encino in the San Fernando Valley, I offer WEEKDAY, EVENING, AND SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS, with FLEXIBLE FEES, and can usually schedule your first appointment promptly.

I give a CONFIDENTIAL INITIAL CONSULTATION AT NO CHARGE with absolutely no obligation, either by phone or in my office, so you can discuss your situation, ask questions, and get to know me, and so I can determine how I can help.  Most therapists bill for this, but I don't, because I think you should be able to consult with me at no charge before you begin therapy.

I offer the following Counseling and Therapy services for Individuals, Couples, and Families, and welcome your
phone call or email so that together, we can start creating for you a happier, more satisfying life…

 

 

Individual Counseling, Therapy, and Enrichment

Individual Therapy is a safe place in which you can work on improving your life with my personalized attention.  With my insight and support, and my focus on SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS, we’ll explore your feelings, thoughts, and behavior, identify your issues and strengths, and work to create positive, lasting changes in your life.  Scientific research shows that in therapy, healing and growth occur through the therapeutic relationship, which is why I place such high importance on supportive, understanding, customized care.  I have guided many people through emotional healing, difficult life transitions, and exciting personal growth, and would like to help you, too.

Couples ( Marriage ~ Relationship ) Counseling, Therapy, and Enrichment

Couples Therapy is a safe place in which you can finally discuss and process the difficult issues that arise in partnership, without being blamed or judged.  In our sessions, both of you will have plenty of room to talk and be heard completely.  I will help you explore your couple dynamics, identify and resolve issues that harm your relationship, and learn healthier styles of relating.  You will also learn to communicate effectively so you can express yourselves and understand each other in new, more satisfying ways.  Through this process, we'll work to deepen your emotional, spiritual, and physical connection in ways that feel comfortable and fulfilling for both of you.

Premarital Counseling, Therapy, and Enrichment

Premarital Counseling is a safe place in which you can carefully explore the many aspects involved in a healthy, happy marriage -- before you get married.  Many topics can be explored, including but not limited to values, goals, roles, expectations, communication, honesty, career, finances, sexuality, fidelity, spirituality, religion, child rearing, gender differences, age differences, problem solving, stress management, extended family relationships, and what it means to be married instead of single, dating, or engaged.  Premarital Counseling can be a wise choice during this exciting time leading up to your special day.

Family Counseling, Therapy, and Enrichment

Family Therapy is a safe place in which the whole family can come to my office and address important family concerns.  Family Therapy can be very powerful, and can benefit all members, regardless of age or role. Because all members are present in my office, everyone can learn to effectively address each other, resolve issues and conflicts, and manage the natural life cycle changes that affect and challenge all families.  Members can also learn how to support each other’s individuality and independence while nurturing and maintaining healthy, meaningful family connection.  How often would your family have benefited from the help of a trained professional?  If you are looking for family improvements, Family Therapy can be a wise choice that benefits the whole family.

 

* With my approach to counseling and therapy, I focus on SOLUTIONS AND RESULTS, and always have

   your HEALING, WELLNESS, AND GROWTH as my top priority!
