Seeking psychotherapy can be an exciting yet intimidating step to take in your life. It is difficult to know what to expect from the experience, from your therapist, or from yourself. Acknowledging these uncertainties and the often complex nature of psychotherapy, I approach the process with warmth, empathy, and professionalism.
I specialize in treating mood issues, anxiety & various types of trauma with somatically informed, body-oriented psychotherapies, i.e., somatic experiencing, depth work, parts work, EMDR, brainspotting, neuroaffective touch (NaT) & ketamine assisted psychotherapy (KAP). I approach psychotherapy from an attachment based, polyvagal foundation.
Sessions held in offices in Malibu, Calabasas and virtually. Please see my website for more details. If interested, please contact me for a free consultation.
