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, parts work, eye movement desensitization reprocessing, brainspotting & ketamine assisted psychotherapy. I approach psychotherapy from an attachment based, psychodynamic, polyvagal foundation.
Sessions held in offices in Malibu, Calabasas and virtually. (KAP group rotates between Palos Verdes Estates & Malibu location. Next group: 3/30/25 in Palos Verdes Estates)
