I strongly believe that we have the capacity to make fundamental changes within ourselves and in our lives. Life can at times be overwhelming and painful but challenges can be a tremendous opportunity for growth.

I place a strong emphasis on collaborative work and individually customized therapy that matches each client's individual needs, and strengths. My approach is client centered, relational, and inter-subjective; looking at attachments, past and present. Together we gain insight into how past relationships impact current relationships and behavior.

To foster healing and growth, I incorporate all aspects of human experience in my work with you: thoughts, emotions, and sensations.

In a warm, accepting atmosphere, together we help create new ways of responding to old problems.

I offer supervision for clinicians preparing for licensing and am available for consultation.

I have been practicing psychology since 1990 and I am a licensed in California (PSY21080) and in New York (015730). I have treated children, adolescents and adults from varied ethnic groups and with a broad range of problems, including trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have also worked extensively with couples and reconfigured families (stepfamilies).

From 1990 until 2005 I worked as a clinician and clinical supervisor in a mental health agency in Brooklyn, New York, (Counterforce: a Dropout and Drug Prevention / Family Enrichment Center). From 2002 to 2005 I was also in private practice in Brooklyn.

In 2005 I moved to California.

In addition from 2005 until July of 2018, I was the clinic coordinator and clinical supervisor at Aleinu, Pico Robertson Jewish Family Resource Center. And, I was the director of the Intern Training Program and the School Based Programs. I also facilitated and directed Parenting Workshops that included special series for parents of teens, parents with special needs children, and parents of stepfamilies.

I am currently in private practice, where I see clients both online and in-person. Additionally, I provide supervision for clinicians who are working toward their licensure.
