I provide depth therapy for adults navigating life challenges and relationships.

I think much of therapy involves coming to know that you are safe in the presence of another person - safe enough to feel, “not know”, and share parts of yourself that you might fear, judge, or hate. Perhaps you are struggling with a sense that something is missing in your life. You may be healing from a traumatic experience, or from impossible childhood situations. Perhaps you are experiencing anxiety or boredom, or feel “stuck” in your creative practice. Perhaps you are longing for a deeper connection within your relationships. Whatever you are facing, you are here because some part of you is brave enough to hope for relief.

My areas of work include: addiction, grief and loss, anxiety, depression, self-esteem.

Creative individuals struggle with self esteem and career issues. Additionally, depression, anxiety, trauma, or a significant life transition, can interfere with career and relationships.

We imagine meeting the perfect partner and staying in love with them forever. Why can’t we find that perfect partner?

Do you beat yourself up a lot? Even though you try your best and give your all, do you still feel not good enough, like an impostor? I work with adults who are struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, isolation, communication, identity, family, and low self-esteem.

Hello! I know that seeking support takes tremendous courage, and I am so glad that you are here. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the San Fernando Valley. I specialize in art therapy, an approach that allows us to explore your experiences non-verbally. I integrate evidence-based approaches to support the treatment of anxiety, relational issues, depression, grief, and life adjustments. I offer a collaborative approach with the intention of empowering my clients to shift their inner dialogues, discover their strengths and inner resources, and ultimately foster unconditional acceptance for the self.

The goal of therapy is to develop an awareness of our emotional patterns and recognize where they are not serving us. Many of us are operating within a problem saturated narrative that needs to be rewritten. It is my experience that the problems don’t occur in a bubble. I believe that issues are systemic, therefore I will often incorporate partners or members of the Family in the healing and growth process. I find my training in mediation practices further equip me to deal effectively with dysfunction family communication patterns.

Asking for help from another person can be hard, but I see it as a sign of strength.

Most people come to me when problems have become unbearable. They feel alone and stuck and powerless to do anything about it. They come in hoping I can tell them what they need to do to feel better.

Hi! You are invited to team with me to get you on a path to living the contented, satisfying life you’d like to live.

I've worked with adults who have ADHD for 15 years, and I've been one for my entire life. I believe that ADHD is a superpower, and that neurodivergent adults are some of the most creative, interesting, empathic, and thoughtful people in the world. But navigating our society with a brain that isn't built for it can be fraught, and can lead to anxiety, depression, and self-esteem challenges. I help clients to untangle this web, and build a life that works with their brain, rather than trying to squish their fabulous brains into a pre-established box.

I firmly believe that one of life's most courageous acts is to embark on a path of self-discovery, to gain insight into your personal journey, and to open the door to healing and growth. A central theme running through the modalities I utilize is mindfulness, self-compassion, and heightened awareness of both the body and emotions.

(Zoom Video sessions) My ideal client: A creative, motivated, and intelligent professional with an obsession, usually drugs/alcohol and/or sex. A higher percentage of creative people struggle with addiction, because they just don't know when to quit! Creatives frequently have low self-esteem, often despite proven success. Using cognitive (CBT) techniques and psychodynamic methods (how events from the past affect the present) I use a pragmatic, individualized approach. I include solution-focused and music/art therapy to help the client gain insight and put the insight to work to achieve realistic goals.
