JK HEALTHY MEANS PSYCHOTHERAPY

WHY PSYCHOTHERAPY?
Welcome! In the last 30 years I've helped people work through and let go of that what troubles them. Along the way I've helped people navigate fears, anxieties, depressions, traumas, addictions, work stressors, relationships (including abusive ones) and life pressures to get to a place of resilience, trust, calm, freedom and truly thrive in alignment with your values and goals. I do this by being a compassionate, engaging, well practiced and informed therapist who integrates proven clinical approaches to create an individualized, goal-oriented, wholistic (mind, body, emotions, spirit) plan. Together, we will address your hopes and concerns, getting into the messy and painful parts, look at habits that once worked but may no longer serve you, all while blending your existing strengths with new tools for coping, health and growth. I create a safe, supportive environment not only to unburden, but also to discover, nurture and empower new insights and solutions. I specialize in working with anyone interested in achieving a meaningful life, and have vast experience supporting Entertainment and Creative Professionals, Healthcare Providers, High Achievers /Executives, Individuals and Caregivers Coping with Chronic or Acute Medical Diagnoses, and the LGBTQIA+ communities.
I offer Telehealth (Video/Phone) Psychotherapy Sessions in both NY and CA and in-peron sessions in Los Angeles (Beachwood Canyon Area).
