My Story

I am a Licensed Psychotherapist, Licensed Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug, Certified Life Coach & Recovery Coach, Certified Hypnotherapist, and a Consultant, with approximately 30 years of experience working in the counseling and recovery field in both the United States and the United Kingdom. 


I maintain a full-time private psychotherapy, life coaching, recovery coaching & hypnotherapy practice in Los Angeles, California... and a small part time practice in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where I work with adults & teenagers, individuals, couples and families. 


I have past clinical experience working at the following agencies in the United States either as a consultant or therapist: The Power of Choice, The Life Healing Center, A New Journey Eating Disorder Center, Action Rehab for Adolescents, AIDS Project Los Angeles, AIDS Project Florida, and Camelot Therapeutic Care. Since 2018, I have consistently been an on- call psychotherapist working with models for GE-Projects productions. I have also presented at addiction conferences across the country on the following topics: shame, addiction, perfectionism, eating disorders, and self-care. 


I am also the co-founder of PieTherapyLA. Pie Therapy is a simple, fun and yummy introduction to baking with a therapeutic twist. This is a class that was “baked” by two well-seasoned therapists in the LA community, Sara Barthol and me, and one well known pastry chef, Clemence Gossett, to create a space for people to work on different personal challenges, such as anxiety and perfectionism, through the transformative experience of learning how to make pies.


These classes are offered to clinicians, clients, rehab residents, eating disorder center residents, sober living residents, and to corporate offices as a team building activity. Classes can be held at either the Gourmandise School of Cooking at the Santa Monica Mall or at a kitchen provided by the sober living home, rehab center, or eating disorder treatment facility.
