Bio
I was born in Montreal and found my way to Los Angeles via Vancouver, Canada. I have called L.A. home now for 30 years. Having completed Drug and Alcohol Counseling at UCLA, my career in addiction counseling coaxed me towards a Master’s Psychotherapy licensure program at Pacific Graduate Institute where I was fortunate to realize a connection with the psychodynamic and depth traditions. James Hillman proposed every human is born with their own unique full potential, just as an acorn holds within it the blueprint towards becoming a thriving oak tree. I hold that true in my work. My style has been described as calm, insightful and reflective. I view my work as a collaboration to honor the person and the process towards healthy relationships – with self, others and their respective environment. Including EMDR in my training and my work has been deeply rewarding. I am currently internationally certified as a I CADC II, and hold dual licenses as an LMFT and LPCC.
