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

My Approach to Helping

We are each on our own personal journey. At many points on our path we come to a crossroad - a critical life transition. Each individual reacts uniquely to these challenges. We may feel unable to move, overwhelmed, or afraid and lost. Where ever you are now, the therapy and counseling I offer can bring clarity, deepening of awareness, exploration of creative alternatives and provide direction on your journey.

I have been practicing therapy for 25 years and have been an artist for most of my life. I earned my Bachelors degree from UCLA majoring in Philosophy and a Masters in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I have had training in psychodrama, a year long course in Hypnosis at NPI (Neuropsychiatric Institute at UCLA), have been practicing EMDR since l994. I have had training using EMDR with children. I have been on the faculty of local colleges where I have taught psychodrama, dream theory, creativity courses and courses on love.
My practice includes a great many artists of all kinds. l work with helping them unblock and develop their creativity.

 

More Info About My Practice

So many of the people I work with have suffered severe trauma in their lives. Their symptomology is very diverse and extensive. It brings me great satisfaction to be able to relieve my clients of their suffering with the knowledge, experience and powerful techniques I have learned to use.

My fee is $150 per session. I will work on a sliding scale with some clients. I provide my clients with a statement each month that they can submit to their insurance company for reimbursement.

I look forward to hearing from you.
