ABOUT ME

Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes towards anxiety, depression, and a compromised self esteem. Through talk therapy, identifying the lies we tell ourselves, and changing our patterns, I believe we are all capable of having the life we desire, getting out of our own way, and becoming closer towards reaching our goals. My approach to therapy is one of transparency and honesty, directness, and a little sarcasm and humor (when appropriate) of course. As a team, I will help you identify new goals, overcome obstacles, and overall help you level up. I think it’s so important to collaborate and really understand and make sense of the “Why?” behind our actions, patterns and thoughts, in order to move away from whatever isn’t serving you, and move closer to the healthier life you envision and deserve.

I see clients in-person at office locations in Hermosa Beach and Sherman Oaks, California, as well as online through telehealth, and weekends.

EXPERIENCE

I graduated with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialization in ‘Addiction & Recovery’ from Antioch University, (one of the first in the country to offer this specialization). Since 2018, I have had the pleasure of working at dual diagnosis outpatient treatment centers for people struggling with mental health issues and/or addiction. Additionally, I volunteer as the primary therapist at Miriam’s House, a non-profit sober living based in Los Angeles where women can recover with their children. Since 2019, it has been a privilege to work in private practice settings and I am currently serving as a supervisor for other associate therapists.
