Let's Connect (323) 472-5920

I am bilingual (French/English) and work in a caring manner to ensure individuals and couples feel safe to explore and uncover the patterns that are impacting their satisfaction and keeping them stuck. Therapy can help you make sense of your life, overcome past and present hardships, learn new tools and access your strengths so that you can make better decisions, stop reoccurring behaviors and feel healthier. I tailor our treatment to meet your unique personality and goals.
I have extensive experience helping couples using Gottman, EFT and Attachment Theory. I work sensitively with complex trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, losses and more. My work is informed by: psychodynamic, IFS, attachment and CBT. I am invested in seeing, hearing, and helping all people, all ages, genders, races, ethnicities...
Life can be challenging and my goal is to help you make sense of your feelings and patterns. I help couples hear each other differently, and find the emotional connection beneath the hurt and anger. In individual work, I facilitate self-exploration so that you may gain awareness and new tools to forge a path towards greater life satisfaction and fulfillment.
