Your life's not working the way you'd like? Find out why, and we can change it together. Don't let old patterns get in your way. Struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBT issues, addictions (substances or behaviors including sex or porn), or infidelities? You set the course, and I’ll help you get there.

About Me

Feeling that life isn't working as you wish? I offer a space to understand why old patterns may be getting in your way. We can explore challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, LGBT issues, addictions, or infidelities. You set the course for our work; I'll help you navigate these struggles. Together, we'll find new ways forward, building a life that feels more aligned with your true self.

Approach

If you're tired of familiar cycles, I help you uncover where they began and try different choices to see what actually changes. Sessions happen in my Beverly Hills office or by secure online video in English, paced to your needs with clear agendas and focused check-ins. I use practical skills, boundary work, craving management and trauma-informed stabilization, and between sessions you'll get short exercises and tracking to test what shifts. Those facing anxiety, past abuse, relationship ruptures or sexual compulsions often find this hands-on, collaborative rhythm useful.
