Personal Statement

I am a psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and families in the Los Angeles area. I have 30 years experience in one location and challenge the problems facing our complex and diverse society today. I believe in the Unity of Life. From the earliest single cell forms of life, to the complex human organism, there is a basic energetic function that unites: Pain & Pleasure, Thinking & Emotion, Mind & Body, Man & Women, Family & Society. When this unitary function is disrupted and blocked, healthy life suffers. Conflict and stress from this unitary disruption often results in irrationality, unhappiness and/or disease.

The mending and healing process occurs when the essential living functions of Life are restored. Primary to the healing process is establishing the natural free flow of feeling and thinking, and supporting and encouraging healthy expression and behavior. I use Orgonomic, Bioenergetic mind/body therapy, and Psychotherapy methods to regain healthy emotional, cognitive and behavioral functioning.
