Whom I work with

I provide counseling to individuals and couples, in person or over HIPAA compliant video conferencing. My individual clients want help getting unstuck from painful thought patterns. Thoughts that - like a needle stuck in the deep groove of a record - make it impossible to listen to anything else. Many of them are talented and high achieving, yet relentlessly critical of themselves. I help my clients become unstuck creatively. I help to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. And I help them strengthen and enrich their relationships, starting with the relationship they have with themselves.

I offer counseling for couples who are on two different pages when it comes to parenting. I provide counseling for couples transitioning to becoming parents. And I work with couples who are struggling to stay together as they navigate the grief and loss of infertility.

A note to potential clients of color: I’m bound by the limitations of my socialization and personal experience, but it’s my job to make sure they don’t impact our work. I’m open to sharing about my identity (if asked) and I welcome discussions about race, racism, micro-aggressions and racial trauma in therapy sessions. I approach the continual process of unpacking my personal biases and acknowledging my privilege with cultural humility and an eagerness to learn more.

How I work

I work collaboratively, discussing treatment goals and assessing progress. I’m interested in your past, insofar as it helps to illuminate how you can improve your life in the present. Our work will uncover unconscious material that provides a deeper understanding of who you are and why you make the choices you make.  By uncovering unconscious material, we are able to change old patterns, discover our authentic self, and find wholeness and integration. My goal is for you to no longer need to keep coming to therapy.

How we talk

I offer in-person sessions to fully vaccinated clients at my West Los Angeles office and at my Encino office. I offer online therapy to any client who prefers it - using a secure, HIPAA-approved videoconferencing platform.
