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

My Approach to Helping

Hiya!

In a general sense, I offer culturally sensitive, positively-oriented therapy that begins with tracking your thinking patterns and beliefs in order to understand what motivates your emotions and behaviors. Then, we hone in on your specific concerns and tackle them together, through a method that best matches your particular ways of learning and growing.

My specialty is "Feeling Whole in Hollywood," a tailored counseling program for Actors, Writers, & Entertainment Industry Professionals. (That includes musicians, crew, fabricators, art department, dancers, makeup artists, hairstylists, wardrobe, casting/talent agents, managers, directors, producers, editors, and publicists.) I work with these clients to dismantle artistic blocks and combat "industry fatigue": the emotional and mental consequences of working in an inherently personal and sometimes aggressive field. The ultimate objective is to understand what entertainment really means to each individual, and in doing so, help them to pursue their goals in a more comfortable and authentic manner.

My office is small, private, and comfortable and offers convenient parking. An initial 50-min consultation is FREE of cost and usually consists of simply getting to know each other.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story.
