Therapists in Los Angeles, CA
We’re wired for connection, but that doesn’t mean relationships come easily. Many couples feel stuck in painful cycles: miscommunication, distance, or feeling unseen by the person they love most. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
I work with couples and partners of all life stages who want deeper intimacy, more trust, and support navigating competing needs, especially in those really difficult moments when familiar patterns take over. Together, we begin to understand these patterns and create space for something different to happen.

I believe that we are all doing the best we can to cope with life in all its beautiful complexity. But, a lot of the time, the ways in which we try to survive and protect ourselves can create significant disconnection in our lives, both to other people and ourselves. I am an attachment-oriented therapist who tries to deeply understand how one’s early interpersonal experiences and attachments have shaped their understanding of self and self-worth. My focus on attachment is reflected in my therapeutic style, where I prioritize building a strong bond and trust with my clients.

I help clients find paths that nurture and grow parts of the self that can enhance one’s experience of life to be fulfilling and whole. People come to me wanting to find out why their life is not satisfying and what could be done to work towards that goal. Often times they are stuck in life situations that block creativity and paths to self defined success. Goals often include happiness, pain relief (physical, mental, spiritual, emotional), self-awareness, productivity, insight, improved socialization, healthy relationships (or finding one), meaning, and contentment with life.

You may appear high-functioning on the outside, yet feel anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating. This may show up in trauma responses, relationship distress, overthinking, or a persistent sense of disconnection. You may be looking for more than coping tools. You want steadiness, clearer direction, healthier relationships, and a more meaningful way of living.

I aspire is to help my clients accept all their parts, gain wisdom, and embody their deepest authenticity.

I have a warm and relational style with my patients. This means I won't sit in silence staring at you the whole session. While I believe in allowing enough space for you to explore your own thoughts, I tend to be more of an active therapist.
