Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed or are you having difficulity navigationg life's challenges? I would like to help you if you are having trouble communicating with your significant other. Maybe someone has cheated? Or, you may just be feeling anxious or depressed. Let's see if we can work together to design the life you desire or help you improve your relationship. Remember, the experiences we had in childhood impact who we become as adults. Let's find out how your childhood has impacted you today. 310-373-7994

I am trained in family systems, EMDR, Brainspotting and drug and alcohol recovery.

We are not always lucky to grow up in a loving supportive family. If you, as a young child, grew up with emotional adversity or maybe even abuse, I can help you uncover past traumas. I can help you work toward a path to healing. Give me a call and let's talk.
