I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in West Los Angeles. I believe in creating a space where clients can show up exactly where they are and explore what is and isn’t working in their lives. I integrate therapies such as Emotion Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Bowen Family Systems while also being mindful that what each client needs is different. I work through a feminist lens by incorporating how our intersecting identities influence our unique experience, exploring the systemic pressures imposed upon these identities, and building awareness around clients sense of autonomy.

Are you sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Do you encounter the same interpersonal conflicts with friends, family, partners and colleagues such that it’s starting to feel like Groundhog Day? When it comes to managing triggers and healing the wounds of past trauma, the struggle is real — but there is path forward.

‘It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.’ - e. e. cummings Whether you are routed in a past of trauma or pain, stuck in a present with no sense of meaning or motivation, or anxious about an uncertain future, often it is easier to stay in the security - or what’s known - of the pain or mediocrity, than face the uncertainty or fear of the unknown of change, despite it’s infinite possibilities for a better life. That you are here, bravely scratching that curiosity, deserves recognition.

I am an interactive therapist. I help clients attain their therapy goals more quickly by taking an active role, rather than simply mirroring their feelings, which I also do. I focus primarily on mind/body connections, however, my overall approach is creative and eclectic. In therapy we explore the past, finding connections to current patterns that cause pain and dysfunction; then work on bringing the client's life into balance. I have many years working in business, schools and private practice, working with depression, anxiety, panic, PTSD, addictions, bereavement, relationship problems, occupational stresses, at-risk adolescents and marital problems.

Hello! What if you woke up tomorrow and all your difficulties disappeared? Though hard to imagine, envisioning how you'd like your life to be is the first step in finding solutions. After hearing your story, I focus on strengths (in individuals and couples), and help you see the possibilities for positive change. This can be difficult for anxious or depressed clients, but I find it a good start. I embrace the role of authentic, non-judgmental collaborator. I use techniques that can immediately reduce anxiety, and I show clients that depression is treatable.

I understand the importance of needing to feel understood and seen. When therapy is successful, we often will experience a greater sense of spaciousness inside ourselves, freedom from our own judgments, and are reminded that confronting our pain won’t destroy us. The goal is not a short-term fix but instead a long-term shift that brings forth feelings of empowerment, resiliency, and a confidence that our brains and our lives can change. As a consequence of shifting our relationship to ourselves and to our pain, the uncomfortable symptoms often associated with anxiety, trauma, and depression begin to dissolve and loosen their grip.

Have you found yourself asking any of the following questions or maybe made such a statement to yourself? ..."Why am I so anxious"? "I don't feel like doing anything today". "I feel so scared and don't know why". When you are suffering with anxiety, depression or other mental health issues these are common thoughts people have. You're definitely not alone and it can also be an indicator that it's the right time for some therapeutic guidance.

I'd love to help you become the best of yourself. Together we create a safe space to expand the resources you already have to create change. Our focus is on the present day challenges reflecting earlier disruptions. We update old patterns of behavior to ground you in today's possibilities for greater satisfaction. My experience as a somatic therapist can help you to recognize the resources that already exist in your body. People I work with often suffer from relationship problems, low self esteem, shame, anxiety, depression, PTSD. I enjoy being fully present with you so you can be fully present with yourself.

I specialize in work with artists, with an attunement toward trusting your inner voice, negotiating the balance between practical-minded and radically creative work, and integrating the artistic mind into other aspects of your social life. Together, we can think through the ways you show up for others and for your self: how you trust, or play, or love.

If we are lucky in this life we will experience many inner deaths, each an opportunity to shed parts of self, to embrace our own expansion, and enter the next dimension of life. If we fail to die, we fail to grow. We have lost the ritual container that holds our rites of passage and without the containment and guidance that goes with it many of us feel lost, hopeless, deficient in some way and without a sense of belonging. Therapy in the depth tradition has become a space to compassionately witness and accompany individuals in the alchemical process of healing and growth.

In my experience, external circumstances directly reflect internal workings. Therefore, to change our outside life, the work must start within. My practice is about meeting ourselves in the present moment with the understanding that as we feel into our pain, expansion of experience is opened, allowing for greater expressions of love and joy. The therapy becomes a place to be with what we so often deny ourselves, the tenderness, shakiness, fear, suffering, connectedness, love, bliss, and so much more.

Imagine the following: you have been using the same paint palette for a while. You never clean the palette, so all the paint from the past years have dried on top of each other. One day, you feel uneasy with the top color so you decide to rip it off. It isn't until you turn it over that you see all the colors and realize they cannot be separated from each other. I focus on the clients as a whole and I believe that whatever brings you to therapy is deeply rooted in your cumulative life experiences, not in isolation.
