About Me

I had a thriving private therapy practice in Los Angeles for over thirty years.

I worked from various proven psychological theories, including but not limited to those historically known as Psychoanalytical and Objects Relations, to Gestalt, Rogerian, Behavioral, Strategic and Cognitive Theory...plus the most modern concepts from EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to Mindfulness-Based concepts from Buddhist teachings.

My understanding of how the brain, mind and body interacts comes from various insights taken from theorists such as: Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Carl Rogers, Erik Erikson, Alfred Adler to modern-day scholars including but not limited to Eric Berne, James Masterson, M.D, John N. Briere, Alice Miller, Aphrodite Matsakis, Francine Shapiro, and Fritz Perls. I consolidated all of these methods and practices in an effort to make the best of what has been proven and accepted by the psychological community.

I specialized in the treatment of emotional issues in high-functioning adults many of whom have experienced childhood abuse, neglect and/or molestation.

In addition, I have worked for major ad agencies creating award-winning ad campaigns, as well as consulting with a variety of corporations and organizations, researching consumer trends, and facilitating team-building and strategic planning with over 25 years in the marketing & advertising business.
