Let’s listen to your body, voice, and mind. I'm a somatic therapist, which means I work with the body, breath, and imagination, along with your personal story, dreams & goals. My work lives at the intersection of the body, depth psychology, & creativity. I work with individuals & couples who are ready to move through — & talk through — what is holding them back. My clients are often creatives, actors, or deep thinkers in film/tv, medical, academia, tech, etc. — people who may get stuck in traditional talk therapy. I work with people navigating trauma, grief, screen addiction, family drama, burnout, and mid-life transitions.
If you've spent years putting words to what's wrong & still find yourself held by tension, distance, regret, lethargy, anxiety, apathy, or a scattered sense of focus, you may be ready for work that reaches beyond language—transforming not just what you understand, but how you feel, live, & respond. I will listen deeply to support you & your relationships.
This is my second career. I spent 25 years as a theater director, yoga teacher, & college educator. That history is in my clinical work. Our sessions will be half talking, half breathing & moving. Sessions may be seated, on the floor, standing, or walking, following your body's lead. In office in West LA, outdoors, or online. Free 15-minute consultation.

I work with anxiety, trauma, grief, complex work relationships and the particular pressures facing performing artists, high achievers, and creative professionals- and their partners and families. We draw on somatic practice, depth psychology, and expressive arts alongside CBT and DBT. Clients often find that what felt fixed begins to move, and the body becomes an unexpected source of clarity.
