Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Severe life stressors like addiction due to drug & alcohol abuse & trauma have the potential to completely unravel the lives of human beings. As such, people who have been through traumatic or stressful experiences require healing in order to lead happier and more functional lives. It is such people that I help who also suffer from the disease of addiction. My clients include children, adults, and the families of addicted individuals. I also guide them towards healthier perceptions of themselves as well as their experiences. I also help them repair and strengthen their relationships so they a) have a support system to fall back on, and b) are able to better realize themselves within the context of their relationships.
However, it is important to remember that there is no “one size fits all” in therapy. There is no universal approach that would help every individual. That is why I have been trained in a variety of modalities. These include Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Transpersonal Psychotherapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Depth Psychology, Cognitive Therapy of Substance Abuse, Existential Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and EMDR which is my specialty. Because of this, I’m able to approach every client according to their unique situation and experiences.
My educational background includes my current PhD program in Depth Psychology. I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and was the clinical director of 6 detox & residential facilities including LifeSync Malibu, Rebos Detox, A Giving Tree, Hollywood Recovery Center, New Spirit Recovery, and Phase 2 ATC in Encino. I was the first to create LifeSync Malibu addiction residential program.

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One notable benefit is flexibility – clients can connect in the way that suits them best, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations.
Sessions are provided by licensed professionals and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different fit would be better. For many people, online therapy offers a practical, effective pathway to addressing everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
