I am a psychotherapist in Beverly Hills, CA who specializes in working with members of the Entertainment Industry.  I help entertainment professionals - studio executives, agents, managers, actors, writers, directors, producers - deal with psychological issues  pertaining to the unique challenges of this business.  I also know the hopes, fears, dreams and joys of the Industry because I have lived it from the inside

As a former coach of Olympic athletes, I understand high pressure environments and how to thrive within them.  Because of my background, I often work from a positive, solution-focused perspective.  I also believe strongly in each person's innate ability to move towards psychological and emotional health.  Depending on your issues, I will work with you to discover together how to help you become your "best self" whether individually or in the context of your relationship.

I work with relationship issues, anxiety, depression, sexual abuse, bipolar Disorder, and creative blocks. I see individuals and couples, children, teens and families.

I have been published in The New York Times (Sunday edition), Los Angeles Times, L.A. Weekly, Elle (France) Magazine, DAME Magazine and many others.  I am the therapist on "Psycho Babble" a webcast television show set at The Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
