Reaching out and asking for help is a courageous act. Everyone’s life challenges are unique, and no one deserves to deal with them in isolation. Whether you are looking to work on a current difficulty or wanting to change old patterns, I would like to help you achieve your individual goals. My work, grounded in Somatic Experiencing (SE), Somatic Practice (developed by Kathy Kain), and other creative modalities, can help you liberate tragic stories held within your body. The body has a language and wisdom of its own that can provide a healing path toward greater health, emotional self-regulation, and a more grounded state.

I also provide affirmative counseling for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer members of our community. Many LGBTQ+ people prefer to work with a queer identified therapist who can deeply understand and empathize with their life challenges. I am grateful to have the honor of providing counseling for over twenty-five years and witness the growth of many LGBTQ+ people.

My professional experience also includes serving as a teacher for the Doctoring Program at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. Teaching medical students about the psychological factors that impact patient health has enhanced my ability to discuss complex topics in an easier to understand fashion.
