Contact Information/Getting Started

Office location:

My office is located in Encino, California, one mile from the intersection of the 101 Ventura and 405 San Diego freeways, and about twenty to thirty minutes from many locations in Los Angeles County such as Westwood/Brentwood, Santa Monica, Hollywood, Calabasas, Thousand Oaks, Pasadena and all points in the San Fernando Valley. It is very easy to find, easy to access. For persons who have restrictive schedules I offer early morning, evening and Saturday appointment times.

Ways to reach me:

Scheduling appointments:

To schedule an appointment please call or email me with your name, phone number and a few good times to reach you. In most instances I will return your telephone call within a few hours (e-mails within twenty-four hours). When I call, I will ask for you by your name. Please note that if I reach someone else, I will not reveal my identity or the purpose of my call. Therefore, please be sure to consider whether you or someone else will answer my call. When we speak for the first time by phone, I will ask you a few questions:
  • What brings you to call and what do you need---what's going on?
  • Are you seeking therapy for yourself, your spouse/partner/family?
  • Have you had therapy before?
  • What are you looking for in a therapist?
  • Would you like to ask me anything about the therapy I provide and how I might be able to assist you?
Finally, I will provide you with the following information:
  • Appointment times available-days, hours.
  • Fees for therapy (or insurance reimbursement information).
