I am a licensed psychotherapist (MFC# 50193).  I work with individuals, couples, and families.  Prior to my work as a therapist, I began my education at The University of Illinois, receiving my undergraduate degree in Humanities from The New School.  I earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute.  I completed my training and internship at The Southern California Counseling Center, and am a graduate of their Family Therapy Training Program.

My areas of clinical emphasis include working with:

depression

anxiety

relationship and intimacy issues

loneliness

self-esteem

addiction and recovery

couples therapy

infidelity

professional transition

the so-called “quarter-life” and “mid-life” crises

blended families

effects of mental illness on families

grief and loss

I concentrate on helping people choose ways of understanding their actions, context, and the people around them to enable them to live the kinds of lives they want to lead.
