About Me

As a therapist, I am invested in facilitating lasting and generative growth and self-realization in my clients.  Change is hard and inevitable, and sometimes it is something we choose (divorce, career change, major move), and sometimes it happens to us (loss of a loved one, diagnosis with illness, loss of a job), but no matter the circumstance, together I believe we can work to move through it and emerge feeling healed, whole, and ready to live each day to its fullest.

The reality is that if you want your life to be different, you need to do something differently.  Sometimes the most subtle of changes can make a world of difference in how you connect, contribute, and move through this world.

I have worked for over a decade in the field of chronic illness, observing how it disrupts and challenges those who are diagnosed and the people who love them.  My approach is generally a combination of meaning making strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Techniques.  I see myself as a collaborator and partner in helping you get your feet back on the ground and living this day with meaning and connection.

My clients have told me that I am a healer who helps them anchor and see their world with more clarity and help them to move through it with greater intention.  I am excited to talk with you, to learn about your story, and to determine how we can work together to make today look and feel more like the life you want and deserve.

I am invested in being the best therapist for you and am happy to schedule a free twenty minute phone consultation to determine if I am your best fit, and to talk about the work we can do together.

Forms

Below you will find a few of the foundational documents required to initiate therapy.  Each will need to be signed and returned to me before we can have our first session.  In some cases, I may ask you to fill out additional information, but these give you a really good idea of what the “rules” are, including my rates, cancellation policy and information specific to web-based therapy.

What is Web-based Counseling?

If you live in Los Angeles like I do, even short distances can feel overwhelming to have to travel.  A short 6-mile drive can take 45 minutes in the middle of the day.  And once we get to our destination we have to deal with parking!

To alleviate the burdens of commuting, and increase the amount of scheduling flexibility for both of us, I have selected a very rigorously reviewed, HIPAA compliant web-platform from which we will connect.  Like Skype or Facetime, but with encryption and security that ensure that our sessions remain private, and cannot be compromised.

The other benefit is that I can connect with anyone in the great state of California!  Whether you are in rural central California, anywhere up and down the coast or in one of our urban centers, I am dedicated to making powerful, change-inducing therapy available to anyone who wants to access it, regardless of location or schedule.

I am happy to speak to you more about the flexibility and functionality of web-based therapy, and hope you will contact me for more information.

Contact

If you would like to schedule a preliminary phone call to discuss your current needs, I hope you will email or call.  I will be sure to get back to you within 24 hours Monday-Friday.  If you call on a weekend, I promise to get back to you no later than end of day Monday.

If you would like me to return your call, please be sure to leave me a message.  Let me know the best time to call back and whether your voicemail is private.  Thanks so much, I look forward to speaking with you!
