Located in the heart of West Hollywood, CA 90069, I love to implement the same skills I used as Clinical Director of a residential center to help facilitate change and relationship dynamics. Schedule a free consultation call with me on my website to talk more. My approach helps clients understand & modify dysfunctional patterns that hinder connection and closeness. Whether I am working with couples, families or individual clients, my approach aims to bring about improvements in your relationships which in turn helps symptoms such as conflict, depression and anxiety, and to improve creativity & productivity.
I believe that it is my responsibility to make each client, whether an individual or family, 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 and your family to improve your well-being.
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.
