Adults Therapists in Malibu, CA
I have extensive experience working with young adults in a university setting, and I am committed to helping individuals like you overcome anxiety, successfully manage life transitions, and thrive during and after college.
Feeling overwhelmed by academic stress, relationship issues, or career uncertainty? Struggling with perfectionism or navigating a quarter-life crisis? You're not alone. Early adulthood is a period filled with incredible potential but also unique challenges and transitions. Whether you're transitioning to college, stepping into the workforce, or simply figuring out who you are, navigating these uncertainties can feel daunting. I believe in a collaborative approach to therapy, where we work together to understand your experiences and remove obstacles preventing you from living the life you want.

I treat adults, couples, families, and children. I view treatment from a developmental perspective and will meet the client wherever they exist on the life span continuum, and whenever they have difficulty negotiating the next step. I have an expertise in disorders of attachment, as well as exposure therapy for trauma, and I've trained many classes of interns and psychologists, in the treatment of these disorders utilizing neurological correlates to psychological mechanisms. My focus is on training the individual to understand his/her own process, so that dissociated material can be integrated, bringing the individual into the present moment.

Over the past 30 years I’ve met and helped adults and teens with many kinds of mental health needs. Some start therapy in crisis, others have desired therapy for a long time, but have put it off. Couples want to finally stop having the same old fight and rediscover lost empathy. Entrepreneurs seek ways to be better managers or level up in business. Creatives need tools to deal with the fall-out from fields in flux. Often they’re parents frustrated by kids in challenging stages of development. Single and struggling with dating, married, straight or queer, most seek deeper self-awareness, or ways to mitigate loneliness or loss.
