Polyamory and ENM Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
I believe that we all have the capacity to heal. I take a trauma-informed, body-based, and spiritually grounded approach to working with clients. I have experience working with clients (primarily women) from a variety of backgrounds, including those experiencing anxiety and co-occurring health issues impacting mental health. I enjoy incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, and other holistic modalities into my sessions and will provide resources for you to utilize in everyday life. As Carl Jung states, "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become".

Are you looking for a therapist that feels relatable and like a real person? If you're anything like I was when I first saw a therapist as a young adult, you crave that authenticity from your counselor. I promise to never ask you "and how does that make you feel?" with a straight face. Don't get me wrong, I *will* ask about your feelings, but I'm not into going through the motions and acting a role. Do you want to spend the time and effort it takes to get down past surface symptoms to the real deep work, to be able to live more comfortably in your own skin, to be able to feel your emotions, not just think them? If so, contact me.

I am an emotionally-focused therapist (EFT) providing LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse affirmative therapy for people seeking support in processing their lived experiences. My work centers on affirming intersectionalities through a non-pathologizing attachment lens. My practice is deeply rooted in empathy & inclusivity, employing a blend of narrative and holistic approaches alongside mindfulness + somatic techniques. When you have a session with me, I will support your internal world’s processes, so that you may find more moments of peace, connection, confidence, and joy with the world within you and outside of you.

“Is it safe?” That is the primary question embedded in the interwoven fabric of all relationships. The desire to know how safe it is to be their authentic self, to share their wildest dreams, deepest fears, or maybe even discover something new together. Similarly, as an individual, you may ask the same about your identity. What is your story? Are there problem stories impacting your relationships? As your therapist, I provide a warm, inviting, safe environment where we can explore areas of concern and dig into the topics in need of care and attention.

You’ve spent years trying to outrun anxiety, overthinking, or that lingering fear of not being “good enough.” You function, you show up, you keep going – but deep down you feel tense, on edge, or stuck in patterns you can’t shake. Maybe old memories still live in your body, or certain triggers send you spiraling fast. You want real change, not another bandaid. You want to feel calm, clear, and finally free from the past so you can move forward feeling grounded, secure, and connected to yourself.

I work with individuals navigating grief, relationships, and major life transitions, with a particular interest in how trauma shapes coping, including self-critical stories and patterns of avoidance. Whether you are feeling stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, therapy can help you understand what is driving those patterns and develop a more compassionate relationship with your own inner life. I also work with couples, helping partners turn toward each other rather than away, building connection through curiosity rather than criticism.

The same fight keeps happening. Or maybe you and your partner barely fight anymore, but the distance feels even worse. Trust may have been broken. Resentment may be building. Or you may just feel stuck and unsure what to do next. I work with adults and couples dealing with relationship stress, betrayal, infidelity, anxiety, and men’s issues. A lot of people I work with look like they’re managing from the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, shut down, angry, or alone.

Relational and flexible therapy for people whose bodies and brains have been misunderstood, dismissed, or disbelieved. When you go to bed at night, you wonder how you are going to feel the next morning. Will you wake up and immediately start bargaining with your body? Will you intend to start your morning routine and somehow end up doing everything except that? You wake up and still try. You push through, put on your mask, and hold it together…even when your brain won't load or you've already spent everything you had just getting out of bed. The shame creeps in before the day has even started. Why is this so hard?

I work with those who see therapy as a space for introspection, care, and compassion. Beginning therapy can be a meaningful step toward reconnecting with yourself, making sense of your experiences, and creating lasting change. Many people come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward. I offer a supportive, culturally responsive space—especially for LGBTQ+ and Spanish-speaking clients—where we can explore these patterns together and build clarity, confidence, and a stronger sense of self.

I have 25 years experience working with individuals and adults, as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I have EMDR certification through EMDRIA. My therapy style is warm, thoughtful, and respectful. I bring mindfulness based techniques, EMDR, and ego states, and IFS informed interventions into my work with my clients, and I also utilize a strengths-based approach. We all have resilience and the ability to heal, we just sometimes need a little help finding it, and we all need someone with whom we can express ourselves fully. In discussing our challenges and treating our traumas, we can transform our lives.

You’re exhausted from trying to hold it all together. The endless overthinking. The emotional rollercoasters. The sleepless nights replaying conversations or situations you wish had gone differently. You’ve read the books, tried the tips, maybe even been in therapy before—but nothing sticks. Deep down, you know there’s more to life and love than this constant tension—the push, the pull; the hustle and the burnout… you just haven’t found the way forward. I help teens, adults, couples, and families master self-regulation and relationship skills to move past anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, and the patterns that keep them stuck.

I specialize in working with older adolescents and adults undergoing a wide range of emotional and relational difficulties. I approach therapy with the understanding that each person is completely unique; therefore, I tailor my approach to best meet each individual's needs. Most of my clients are feeling stuck - whether they're stuck in anxiety, stuck in unhealthy relationships, or stuck in patterns that aren't letting them live their most fulfilled lives. I don't provide band-aids; I help my clients explore and understand WHY they're stuck, so they can create real, lasting changes.

A lot of my work centers around trauma, gender identity, sexuality, kink, and polyamory.
Sometimes there are parts of ourselves, our desires, or our pasts that are difficult to share with others. This could be because of a lack of acceptance or support in your social world, and could be related to feelings of fear, shame, or disgust. I work with clients to build a relationship in which it is safe enough for clients to bring disowned parts of themselves into compassionate awareness as they develop a sense of wholeness. Throughout this deep internal work, I ask curious questions about environmental factors in order to support liberation from internalized oppression and self-blame.

As of 6/11/26, Daytime Availability. You're functioning well by every external measure. You're capable, responsible, probably the person others lean on. Your nervous system hasn't genuinely rested in years. You understand your anxiety. You may have even done therapy before. But insight hasn't made the feeling stop — because anxiety isn't just a thought pattern. It lives in the body, in the threat responses that run faster than conscious thought.
That's exactly what I work with. It's why people who've tried everything else tend to find their way here. Most therapy works top-down, changing thoughts to shift feelings.
