Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Psychotherapy, Art Therapy and Holistic Health  

Psychotherapy

Welcome! I provide psychotherapy for adults, couples, teens and kids. I work collaboratively with you by combining your expertise on yourself and your relationships with my assistance to help you gain insight, clarify what you want, and access your abilities to accomplish this. I integrate psychotherapy, art therapy, and holistic health. The power of therapy comes from having a good relationship with your therapist. My style is warm and engaged and I create a comfortable environment that is judgment free.  I am located within the Well Being Medical Center in Santa Monica.  

Art Therapy

Art therapy can be integrated into your time with me. Art therapy is for non-artists and art lovers alike and is for all ages. It involves utilizing basic art materials, such as collage, to express your self or explore a particular matter. It is especially helpful for subjects that are difficult to talk about, can lead to gaining insight about your self, and inspires your creative side. I will guide you through the process, which is fun and relaxing. There are no mistakes in art therapy!  

Holistic Health

Mental health and physical health are interconnected. We will explore ways to improve your health, both physical and emotional, and identify how one can help the other. I can assist you to create a wellness plan that may include developing improved stress management skills, improving fitness and nutrition, and ensuring you don’t neglect needed doctor appointments. Additionally, through collaborating with my excellent colleagues at Well Being Medical Center I can assist with the integration of other treatments into your care, such as acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, nutritional consultation, massage and skin care.
