About
I’m a psychotherapist. A certified yoga teacher. An infertility advocate, filmmaker, public speaker, writer and parent through the miracles of science and the gift of third party reproduction.
I’m a California Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW 27034) in West Los Angeles. For over a decade I’ve been helping adults, children, and families cope with life challenges and find emotional balance and well-being. Over the past few years, my own experience with infertility has led me to expand my practice to include helping those struggling to conceive, which can be a very specific and life altering crisis for an individual or couple.
In addition to my work as a therapist, I’m also an expert in all things infertility. My husband and I produced One More Shot, a feature length documentary film chronicling our tumultuous journey to parenthood that was released in November 2017.
