Life is filled with inevitable change–some of which is more manageable than others. Youth, especially, undergo rapid transitions – in the development of the mind and body, within relationships, and with their emotions, identity, attitudes, and beliefs. Navigating these transitions on their own can be overwhelming, leading to incongruent living and problematic behaviors including withdrawing from peers or family, exhibiting defiance, or struggling at school. Children and adolescents also struggle with self-confidence leading to excessive worrying about the opinions of others, increased dysregulation, and a lack of calm and composure.

Do you ever feel like you have to hide parts of who you are from the world? Are you stuck in patterns that feel hard to break? I’m here to help you work through these issues. Many people I work with come in for anxiety, difficulties in relationships, difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism, creative blocks, low self-esteem. You don't have to handle these struggles alone. Being in therapy can help you find new perspectives on old issues that keep coming up. I also work with and celebrate people of all genders and sexualities. I maintain curiosity about your unique identity and find it important to hold space for all of you.

People come to my office with a variety of concerns related to relationships, identity, spirituality, career, self-development, or life purpose.

In a rapidly changing and tumultuous world, people often feel comforted by the presence of a therapist who can provide a safe enough space to understand themselves, resolve conflicts, and live with more coherence and freedom from unfulfilling relational patterns. I listen with an intuitive and compassionate heart and give you tools to navigate through stressful times with greater resiliency and embodiment.

You sat down at your computer to find help, but you’ve been sitting there, immobile. Your body and emotions feel numb, almost paralyzed. Even though you’re stuck, you know it’s time to do something different. You’ve tried finding resilience in the things that used to help…but food, music, even relationships leave you feeling unfulfilled. At work, your inner critic shouts, “You’re a fraud!” Living in Los Angeles takes every ounce of energy you’ve got. And what’s the point if you can’t connect to your own inner strength? Is it even possible to have a genuine and joyful relationship with yourself?

I think therapeutic relationships work best when there is a foundation of emotional safety. Upon this foundation many things are possible, including understanding ourselves and others with greater depth and clarity, tolerating discomfort for growth, and allowing for our natural ability to heal. There are many good reasons to come to therapy, including distress that doesn't have a good explanation (which is what anxiety and depression often are), the loss of a loved one or important relationship, the wish to thrive more, or feeling unable to address life's problems. Seeking help takes courage and hope; it's no easy task.

Many of us haven't had much experience with the kind of truly supportive relationships that make healing possible. A good therapeutic relationship - one that allows us to be fully ourselves while recognizing our unique potential - creates the optimal conditions for healing. I provide a place where you can feel safe to explore your most difficult feelings, to work through grief and loss, heal childhood wounds, relieve depression and anxiety, improve communication, increase self-esteem and develop more satisfying relationships. I work with individuals, couples, and groups, and I'm available for both in-person and virtual sessions.

Life can at times be challenging and feel too overwhelming to navigate. A relationship with the right therapist can be a transformative experience that allows you heal and continue to grow into the person you want to be. Trauma, depression, anxiety, and life transitions among other day to day dealings can feel paralyzing and feel like the world is burning down around you. Those who work in creative fields can often feel stuck in their work, as well as those in the athletic world. I work to with clients through the foundation of trust and empathy to help them find healing within themselves.
