INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP THERAPY

“GO THROUGH THE EAR TO THE CENTER, WHERE SKY IS, WHERE WIND, WHERE SILENT KNOWING.” - RUMI

ABOUT ME

I am a Counseling Psychologist providing psychotherapy for a wide range of individuals, with a special interest in helping artists, writers, actors, musicians and creative spirits of all types achieve their full potential. I am also interested in working with men around issues of fatherhood, masculinity, and relationships. My aim is to help you better understand and live through the unique experience of your suffering en route to a more vital and satisfying existence.

I am a former staff psychologist at UCLA and the USC Keck School of Medicine where I provided individual and group therapy in addition to clinical supervision. I have expertise working with medical, health sciences, law, MBA and other professional students, as well as veterans.

NOTE: All services at present are offered via secure teletherapy. Please contact me for details.

APPROACH

As a Counseling Psychologist and psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I specialize in helping creative individuals and men overcome challenges and reach their full potential. With extensive experience working with artists, writers, actors, musicians, and men around issues of fatherhood, masculinity, and relationships, I provide a safe and supportive environment for personal growth.

My practice combines contemporary psychodynamic therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), empowering you to:

  • Identify sources of meaning in your life

  • Develop new perspectives on your internal emotional worlds

  • Pursue clarified values

Whether you're struggling with creative blocks, relationship issues, or seeking personal growth, I'm here to help. Take the first step and schedule an initial consult. Let's work together to illuminate your path forward.
