I help couples, families and individuals in West Hollywood and beyond identify and shift the patterns that fuel worry, conflict and loneliness so you can feel calmer, connected and creative. With years of experience as a Clinical Director, I offer compassionate guidance to repair relationships and nurture self‑expression. Book a free consultation to see if we’re a fit. The therapy process empowers you to build healthier relationships, relieve symptoms of depression and anxiety and rediscover your creativity
I believe that it is my responsibility to make each client, whether an individual or family dealing with anxiety, to feel understood from the first meeting. I use my extensive training in psychoanalytic and family therapy to create a safe, non-judgmental environment and aim to generate an extraordinary connection that supports you those closest to you.
I was the recipient of the Donald T. Brown Memorial Award for Group Psychotherapy, and studied Psychoanalytic Therapy at LAISPS. Providing therapy for 12-18 year olds in both clinical and school-based settings has given me unique skill set for working with teenagers and their families.

I often use Family Systems Theory when working with relationships, it looks for patterns of behavior in relationships that aren't particularly helpful, that we seem to get stuck in. My job is to help you understand and change them. I use psychoanalytic theory in my work with adults, it provides deep-rooted characterological change and self-understanding.
