Are you navigating personal, relational, or performance-related challenges in your life? Drawing from my background in performance psychology, I understand how identity, pressure, and expectations shape growth across different stages of life. I support individuals wherever they are in their journey—helping them build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. I use a range of therapeutic approaches to help clients process anxiety, depression, and stress while uncovering strengths, expanding limiting narratives, enhancing performances in everyday life, and developing practical skills to improve relationships and resolve conflict.

Before becoming a licensed marriage and family therapist, I spent two decades as a tech executive, investment banker, and structured finance attorney. I worked at Goldman Sachs and Royal Bank of Scotland, served as Head of Product and VP of Business Development at Figure, and co-founded FinDox. That background shapes everything about how I work. My clients are people who work exceptionally hard and have achieved a great deal, but have hit problems they cannot outwork, outthink, or outlast on their own. They want depth and they want results. This practice is built for both.

My specialities as a therapist are 1) children and 2) teen student athletes. Many individuals within this population suffer with mood disorders, behavioral issues, anxiety, school & sport performance stress, identity crisis, family conflict, and low self-esteem. As a child, teenager, or parent, managing all these life stressors can take a toll on our mental health. My hope as a therapist is to make clients feel safe to process these struggles, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and improve their social/ family connections around them.

You may be carrying more than you let on. Maybe past experiences, neurodivergence, or a major life shift are shaping how you relate, trust, or feel safe in the world. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, attachment wounds, religious trauma, divorce, and identity or relationship changes. My approach is collaborative and paced, integrating talk therapy with Brainspotting, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and DBT-informed skills. You deserve to be understood and met where you are.

I work with individuals living with complex PTSD and trauma—those whose ability to fully inhabit their lives has been constrained by overwhelming experiences. Many seek not only symptom relief, but a deeper reconnection with their bodies, inner experience, and authentic self, often sensing a shift from “doing” toward “being.” I am a clinical psychologist in Japan with nearly three decades of experience since 1996, working both in Japan and internationally. My approach is body-based, culturally attuned, and informed by contemporary neuroscience and trauma research, supporting deep and lasting transformation.

Life transitions exist in all parts of our lives and those changes, whether good or bad, can be challenging to navigate. I specialize in working with couples, families & individuals seeking Counseling and/or Mediation during various stages of their relationships. I also specialize in Sex Addiction Betrayal Trauma and Infidelity. I work with the partners of a sex addicts. Partners of sex addicts find their lives have been turned upside down. Life as they knew it has vanished. I can help to navigate through this new ground and prepare for disclosure if that is desired by the partner.

My ideal client is someone who feels stuck whether it’s in patterns of anxiety, depression, substance use, or relationship struggles; but is ready for support in making meaningful change. Many of my clients are adolescents, young adults, or adults navigating transitions, recovery, or challenges with identity and self-worth. They want a safe, nonjudgmental space to better understand themselves, build healthier coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, balanced, and fulfilling.

Hello. I have been practicing in the South Bay (LA) since 1989. I enjoy working with people to increase their effective coping skills, self-compassion, and self-care. Conceptualizing from an attachment/ psychodynamic perspective and utilizing various forms of evidence-based treatments, I provide clarity, tools, and strategies to address overwhelming or difficult situations. I believe that short- or longer-term therapy can increase an individual’s awareness of the issues that are affecting one’s goals, decisions, actions, and relationships. That awareness enhances mindfulness and effective communication.

My ideal clients are students, families, and college students seeking clarity about learning and attention. Often, they’ve noticed that something isn’t adding up—a bright, motivated student who struggles in school.
Many have been told to “get tested for an IEP” but don’t realize there’s a difference between qualifying for special education and having a clinical diagnosis. Schools identify students far below grade level who require special education, not addressing less significant struggles. My clients want answers—clear, thorough evaluations that explain strengths, challenges, and practical steps for support at school and home.

You’re doing your best, but somehow, everything still feels overwhelming, like you’re constantly juggling responsibilities, emotions, and expectations that were never really yours to begin with. Maybe you're stuck in perfectionism, drowning in family chaos, or just exhausted from carrying the weight of it all. Therapy with me isn’t just about “coping”, it’s about making sense of things and figuring out a way forward. I keep it real, collaborative, and occasionally sarcastic (in a therapeutic way, of course). If you’re ready to sort through it, let’s do it... on your terms.

Deciding to pursue therapy can be a big step. Some days you feel you need help, the next your convinced you can handle it all on your own. Ambivalence is normal; you don't need to be 100% ready.

Life can feel overwhelming—whether you’re dealing with anxiety, relationship stress, parenting challenges, or just trying to keep it all together. You don’t have to do it alone.

Hi and welcome! Are you a 20-something overwhelmed with all the uncertainty that comes with this phase of life? Maybe you're someone who is functioning day-to-day, but sick of feeling so anxious all the time. Maybe you're navigating neurodivergence in a neuro-normative world. Maybe your child is struggling to find their place in middle or high school. Maybe you're not even sure what you need yet - you just know you or your family could use a little support.
