My background and earlier career has focused on biology. I continue to marvel at the natural world and use my advanced education and training in ecological systems in my therapy practice. For example, I often work with clients to explore their natural tendencies and coping mechanisms and how these may or may not be serving them in their present lives.
I use a natural sense of curiosity to learn more about a client and to guide them through their personal journeys and desires for therapy. I aim to see a client in the full sense and hope to address some of what they might perceive as obstacles in striving to live a more fulfilling life.
I lend a fully attentive and non judgemental ear, and I help guide clients so that they can create a path for their own well-being.I work in Santa Monica and also via telehealth (Zoom) on Weekends and evenings.
