Our earliest relationships are the mother and father of all the other relationships that come later in life. If we are not aware of it and don't have insight into it, we are bound to repeat and relive them over and over again. Learn that it is okay to disagree. There doesn't have to be a win/lose situation. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, warm environment for people who have never felt seen or heard.

If we are not aware of it and don't have insight into it, we are bound to repeat and relive them over and over again. Learn that it is okay to disagree. There doesn't have to be a win/lose situation. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe, warm environment for people who have never felt seen or heard. Therapy provides a chance to rework, repair, re-parent, reweave, chances lost, parts of ourselves that never got developed into a new healthier, whole self. It provides another chance. There are no wrong feelings. The skills is how you manage to express them. We are often afraid to give words to our feelings or ask for what we need, yet that is really the path toward freedom. It is important to learn how to respond rather than react, and to know the difference. What you will discover in doing those skills will empower you and improve the quality of all your relationships. You will come to know what healthy arguments look like - to resolve conflict without blame. I also specialize in addictions of all kinds, anxiety and mood disorders. I have developed a program for "Overcoming Addiction Through A Holistic Approach". I work at various rehabs and my private practice is in Beverly Hills and has been since 1993. Show less

I saw as many as eight individual clients a day as well as their families and/or their partners on certain days. My work was cognitive behavioral as well as psychodynamic in approach. I believe one of my strengths was the ability to really see each person for who they are and where they were in their lives and remain the constant holder of the hope -- their potential to heal and become the absolute best that they can be.
