Los Angeles, CA 90041
I draw from a range of frameworks, including psychodynamic, attachment, existential, ACT, DBT, somatic, mindfulness-based, and various lenses within sports psychology, tailoring each session to the unique needs of each person.
Our pasts do not define us; however, they do inform us. We are all shaped by our biology and environments, and to truly understand ourselves in the present, it is valuable to reflect on our past experiences, perhaps even across generations. I believe that we are never permanently stuck; we simply need the right person(s) and tools to help us move through our challenges. As a multicultural person with a diverse background, I deeply value individuality and I approach every session with a fresh perspective, honoring the fact that no two people share the same story. I am here to support your exploration of your intersectionalities.

Los Angeles, CA 90004
Do you ever struggle to put your feelings into words—either because they’re hard to understand or because they feel too overwhelming to express? Maybe you find yourself acting in ways that don’t reflect who you really are, or wondering why you lack the motivation to do the things you genuinely want to do. At times, our emotions can be confusing, intense, and difficult to manage—all while leaving us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

A lot of the men I work with are high functioning on the outside. They show up for work, family, and responsibility, yet internally, they’re carrying stress, anger, anxiety, identity pressure, or relationship tension they’ve never really had space to unpack. Many were taught to perform, not process.

In my work, I help adults, couples, teens, and athletes with challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, shame, and self-doubt. I also assist with issues related to family, performance, relationships, and racial issues. Its been my experience that most people either have a clear idea of where they want to go or are in the process of figuring it out. I team up with people to help them pinpoint their goals and construct a bridge that will allow them to reach those goals. We build the bridge by increasing our insight & self-awareness, and we move across the bridge by working through pain and overcoming obstacles to growth and healing.

Sports Performance Therapists
How does sports psychology work?
Sports psychology helps athletes identify and overcome challenges, such as perfectionism or a fear of failure, and improve key mental skills, such as confidence or concentration. By applying principles and techniques from psychology, such as goal-setting, visualization, positive self-talk, and emotion regulation, sports psychologists help athletes improve their performance on the field and their well-being overall.

How long does treatment for a sports-related problem take?
The duration of sports psychology treatment depends on the athlete’s individual challenges, goals, the complexity of the interventions used, and even on the length of the season. A performance anxiety issue may be treated with a short-term treatment, like Cognitive behavioural therapy, while issues such as depression, substance abuse, or severe anxiety may require longer-term treatments.

How effective is treatment for sports performance problems?
Sports psychology has been shown to improve performance and help athletes manage their emotions. Sports psychology can be effective in boosting performance, team dynamics, and injury rehabilitation. Over the past decade, nearly every professional sports team in every major sport has added a sports psychologist to its staff. Many colleges have done the same, and even some high school programs have done the same. Olympic hopefuls may consult with sports psychologists starting in elementary school.

What are the limitations of sports psychology?
Sports psychology may have several limitations. Every athlete is unique and may respond differently to sports psychology treatments. Therapy can help an athlete reach their potential; it can help athletes cope with injury and pain, but it cannot change the physical limitations that may be affecting an athlete’s performance.
