Helping People Find Therapists & Advocating for Ethical and Healthy Therapy & Marriage Counseling Practices

My Approach to Helping

I have more than 35 years of experience successfully working with individuals, couples, and children in Santa Monica, CA and the greater Los Angeles area. I believe that therapy works best in an environment of privacy, safety, and trust. These qualities allow my clients the freedom to explore and experience their feelings, early traumas, and unwanted behaviors. I actively participate in the therapeutic process with each client using Gestalt, psychodynamic therapy, and sensorimotor theories and skills that highlight the mind-body connection. By looking closely at their unhealthy patterns of relating, together my clients and I foster change in their thoughts, emotions, and belief systems; and increase their capacity for connections.
