What makes me unique as a therapist?
Actually there are several unique qualities that I bring to my clinical practice.
One interesting aspect is the way that I began my practice in the Los Angeles area. After graduation and internship, I launched my practice by doing house calls. The population that I initially served was those who were homebound due to PTSD or anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia. Their fragile emotional state was such that they couldn't leave their home to attend therapy.
The range of my client base extended from Santa Clarita to Santa Monica. During those home sessions, of course, it was often the case that other family members would be present, usually a spouse. It became efficient to include them in the sessions and via that I began to understand the contagious nature of emotions inside a relationship. As this process evolved I branched out in deeper theoretical and practical ways for helping couples.
My clientele included celebrities, scientists, housewives, ranchers, first responders, law enforcement, wall street executives, tech folks, film industry executive and creatives. I am happy to extend my expertise to help you with your relationship needs.
