licensed marriage & family therapist

My goal as a psychotherapist is to help you become the best person you can be. This then ripples into every aspect of your life, whether you need to be a better partner, spouse, parent, or person. Healing and mending broken relationships is a part of forming a better self. My passion is helping you overcome beliefs that have gotten in the way of feeling good about yourself and living the life you want. It takes courage to enter therapy and to face your unhappiness with the way things are going now. Together we will find that courage within you and regain the joy and satisfaction.

I have been therapist in private practice for over 30 years, with offices in both Tarzana and Los Angeles, California. Working with men, women, adolescents, couples, families, and business partners I have helped them successfully navigate and overcome potentially devastating obstacles.

In addition I have developed and taught the Making Marriage Work course at the American Jewish University since 1988, both weekly classes and weekend seminars for thousands of couples. I’ve also had the privilege of starting and running a unique Grief Support Group at various mortuaries in the area, helping individuals and families cope with the loss of children, parents, siblings, and spouses, and come through the other side at peace.
