Do you ever feel deeply affected by your environment, emotions, or relationships? Sensitive people often carry what isn’t theirs—absorbing others’ emotions, expectations, and even shame. If you grew up adapting to feel safe or accepted, you may now struggle to trust your own voice or needs. Some describe feeling “too much,” while others feel numb or detached from themselves. Both are natural responses to experiences that taught the body it wasn’t safe to fully feel or rest.

You’ve done the work - read the books, maybe even tried therapy. But things in your life are still not working. You keep finding yourself in the same patterns: struggling with relationships, trying too hard to please, or just feeling... alone. I work with curious, capable people who’ve learned to survive by adapting - and are now ready to stop performing and figure out who they are without all that effort. Therapy is not about fixing. It's about giving up the pointless struggles and relaxing into who you truly are. If that’s what you’re after, we can start there.

I believe that every individual is a whole and healthy being. Trauma that occurs in childhood or later in life creates a block that makes one feel less than whole and far from healthy. Because of this, anxiety, depression, addictions to substances, food, and other destructive behaviors become a way of coping. My goal is to help my clients restore the feeling of wholeness and well-being by providing a safe, supportive and nurturing environment in which they can work through difficult issues and restore their true selves. I see it everyday...

I offer a warm, caring and understanding environment so that insight, self-esteem and personal growth can develop. We work together so that you can become your BEST self. To quote Socrates: "the unexamined life is not worth living". A glimpse into our past, helps us understand the present and creates the foundation for a better future. Accessing and understanding our feelings starts the process of knowing ourselves and others, allowing us to take personal responsibility and making healthier choices, that ultimately leads to positive, life-long changes.

I am providing both in person appointments, and video sessions via doxy
I provide a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy. I believe it is important to teach clients strategies to use throughout their life, so that when they leave therapy, clients feel more confident to cope with future difficulties in a positive way. Learning skills along with self exploration can lead to progress in a shorter amount of time. Clients of all ages can benefit from this approach.

I see clients in-person in my supervisor's beautiful Beverly Hills office on the weekends, and am available virtually during the week.
I work with clients to create awareness and then address unhealthy patterns that cause so many of us feel lonely, unfulfilled, and overwhelmed by our careers and relationships. I help clients identify the impact of imposed values of culture and family, as well as the impact of past experiences, and assist them in creating an authentic and aligned set of values they can live by with more ease and conviction. I also focus on the basics of distress tolerance, creating healthy boundaries, and building a trusting relationship with the self.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults and their families during periods of turmoil and crisis. Your son or daughter has become more distant; grades are less predictable; friends may have changed and there is more conflict at home. Intuitively, you know something is going on, but aren't able to reach them. This is often the time where a therapist can bridge the gap.

I offer sessions in person (in a calm and non-judgmental setting) or online via telehealth.
Are you worried about something, or everything? Are you in the same old relationship, with a different person? Have you lost someone close to you, or are you dealing with health challenges? Are you intelligent and talented, yet feel dissatisfied? If you'd like to talk about what is important to you, without feeling judged, I may be the right therapist for you. You and I will look at what's going on for you, and focus on YOUR goals, not on what other people think your goals should be.

The word "metamorphosis" refers to the process of transformation, a transformation of both mind and spirit that can lead to positive and often dramatic changes in one’s life.

Self-defeating thoughts take up too much space in your head and you’re struggling with flipping the script. People tell you to “just let it go already’’, that you’re "too sensitive" - as if it’s a bad thing. Self-doubt creeps in and now you're feeling confused. You fear you’re too much or not enough – and sometimes you’re both at the same time! The pain is persistent and the thoughts dominate your mind. There's a part of you that knows you deserve more, but there always seems to be something holding you back. Trying to figure this out on your own has you running in circles. You're desperate for a way out - but where do you begin?

I offer in-person ecotherapy, meeting with clients outdoors in the LA area, and virtual sessions throughout the state of California.
Feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck? You're not alone. Many of us are questioning how to live a more meaningful life in a world that feels chaotic, isolating, and out of sync with our values. Whether you're burnt out, dealing with anxiety, life is changing too fast, or you want something deeper, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself, and what truly matters. If you're tired of just “coping” and ready to feel fully alive again, sensitive to the world around you, experiencing climate grief, struggling with uncertainty, or trying to find direction and purpose, you’re in the right place.

Is anxiety preventing you from realizing what you want to do—or are capable of doing—with your life? Are you hesitant to go after what truly makes you happy because you underestimate your gifts or abilities? Perhaps speaking up in a way that maintains your own dignity and that of others is what you are wanting. Still others work with me because they experience a sense of validation and empowerment with the things they have experienced — whether it be mystical, hard to explain spiritual events or stressful/traumatic religious experiences.

As a psychologist, I allow the space for individuals to gain insight and growth in their lives that help them reach their goals and aspirations. We all encounter challenges, whether it be someone suffering from anxiety and depression, a family who just found out their child has a medical issue, a child with fears, or a teen who has been bullied. During these unfortunate times what is needed is someone to connect with and help you out of this dark cave of distress. One of my greatest strengths has been the ability to connect with others and reveal the ways through this emotional distress.

I believe in the importance of creating a trusting, safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients. I view each session as an opportunity to grow by working through personal challenges, developing greater self-awareness, learning to set healthy boundaries, and exploring the positive and negative styles of thinking. I believe that although treating symptoms is important, people must look at the deeper underlying issues that might include low self-esteem, codependency, or childhood trauma.
