I am a psychotherapist in private practice with offices in Universal City and Encino. I work in english and french, depending on my clients’ preferences.
I work with individuals and couples as well as adolescents and children.
I have specializations in couples counseling ( Gottman and Emotionally Focused). Trained in school settings as a counselor, and worked with victims of crimes and abuse.
I am very understanding and have done extensive years of counseling working with survivors of abuse and neglect, those who have suffered from traumatic childhoods, who have had difficult parents, relationships, partners or life circumstances and who want to find themselves, their strength and path while healing.
My work extends to helping my clients deal with anxiety, depression, life transitions, common stress, fears, feeling stuck, unhappy, needing change, bipolar disorder, personality disorders and relationship issues.
I want to being present for my clients who simply need to be heard, and figure things out. I want my clients to feel understood and safe while they discover their potential, strengths and path to whetever they want to be. My hope is to help my clients piece their lives back together or better understand themselves and the world around them so that they can reach their potential in every sense.
I offer a safe and caring environment where you can laugh or cry without judgment. My approach is very collaborative and transparent, I offer insight and can help highlight patterns I notice or potential sources of pain and potential growth.
In my work with clients the use of different modalities and orientations is commonplace, depending on their preferences, what they respond to and what seems most comfortable as the sessions and our relationship evolves.
I have trained in New York City and Los Angeles, working with business people, artists, homemakers, students, foreigners or Americans. I invite anyone willing to work on themselves into my office.
