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

My Approach to Helping

If your important conversations become angry debates (when all your really wanted was to get your point across- to be heard), you may be feeling pretty much alone and stuck. Personal or professional relationships usually suffer if you are so stressed or angry that you just can't find a way to get support from others. If this sounds familiar, I'd like to help. We can work together to discover why things go so wrong and to come up with solutions that fit your situation. I know that asking for help might feel like the hardest thing you've ever done. I also know that taking that risk could help you feel much better. If you're unsure about starting or returning to therapy, let's talk - then you decide! You only need to make that first call. Please visit my website for more detailed information about me and about my practice. Or - email or call me at 310 475-1759 to schedule an appointment or to set up a free phone consultation.

 

More Info About My Practice

When your life is changing too quickly, it can be hard to manage the challenges those changes may present. If you also are having difficulty communicating effectively with the important people in your life, you may find that you don't have the support you need - just at a time when your struggle feels unmanageable. Large or small, life's transitions demand that you feel or do something different. Even positive changes can be overwhelming - especially if you don't know how to let others know your needs. Life doesn't need to be so tough. Therapy can help you clarify the issues, figure out your options, and decide what to do next. Check out my website for more information about my work.
