I'm a psychiatrist and therapist in Los Angeles specializing in embodied movement therapy and integrative mental health care. With over 20 years of experience, I offer an integrative approach that supports your nervous system in being with and moving through whatever feelings and sensations arise so that you can engage in life with clarity, connection and ease. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or simply feeling disconnected, movement-based therapy can support lasting change. My clients often rediscover a sense of purpose and come home to the version of themselves they have been longing to be.
I offer individual and couples therapy, with a focus on providing holistic, inclusive and compassionate healing spaces to those interested in an embodied approach to wellness.
I look forward to learning how I can be of service to you, and I invite you to reach out by phone or email and set up a free 15-minute phone or video consultation to determine if it’s a good fit.
