We are beings in motion, faced with the opportunity to learn and grow by becoming aware of the tension between what is conscious and unconscious on this journey called life. Psychotherapy and psychoeducation are tools that we can use together on this journey. I focus on helping you to grow, find yourself, and reduce suffering on your journey. People are not a disorder, as that is only looking at the negative, and we already do far too much of that. As Carl Jung said, "We are not what happened to us, we are what we wish to become".

Holistic Psychotherapy to help you to reduce anxiety, heal and grow in relationship with yourself and others, explore meaning and values, become your best self, and to "Find Balance" in your life.
I also find that I draw many creatives, neurodivergent, people pleasers, and those that feel stuck where they are in life, as well as men needing to do "mens work". I currently offer a mens problem solving and support group in Sherman Oaks on Wednesdays.
