Facing a major transition? I’m dedicated to helping people identify and remove the obstacles to their growth, whether it’s in a relationship, career or big-picture existential question of purpose. I’m certified in Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) and Interpersonal Therapies (IPT) and draw from psychodynamic theory and mindfulness techniques whenever best indicated.
My goal is to work with you to raise awareness and develop insight into how your relationships and experiences have brought you to this pivotal point, and how we can help you get unstuck and pursue the happiness and meaning you seek.
Since earning my Masters in Applied Psychology at Antioch University, I’ve treated children, teens, adults, families and couples in distress within community mental health (Family Service of Santa Monica), and now in private practice. I rely upon a variety of therapeutic approaches, but for me what is critical is fostering a trusting relationship through which your personal growth and empowerment are supported. I feel passionate about this process and the power of two people working together. I believe our relational work is the essential component to making sense of our feelings and improving one's life whether while in therapy and beyond.
I currently have telehealth (phone and video) availability as well as limited time available at my cozy Santa Monica office several blocks from the Third Street Promenade.
Please note: I am a Health Net provider directly and also see Aetna and Optum clients through Headway:
Se habla español y se ofrece terapia para los teens, adultos y parejas para asuntos de depresion, anxiedad, comportamentos y problemas relacionales.
I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you and be well,
Alex
