Individual Therapy

I provide virtual therapy across California and in-person therapy in Los Angeles to adults. Many of my clients seek individual therapy to work through:

  • Caring for themselves while caring for others

  • Grief and Loss (pet loss, family estrangement, death, oppression, life transitions)

  • Survivor’s guilt from surviving a traumatic event that others did not such as suicide, cancer, an accident, natural disaster, or mass shooting

  • Navigating feelings of guilt and anxiety in new relationships as a young divorcee or young surviving spouse

  • Worries related to political stress and climate anxiety

  • Exploration of one’s gender identity, sexual orientation, and sexuality

  • Feeling behind — with one’s career, relationship status, financial success, and personal accomplishments

  • Getting unstuck in their creative process

  • Trauma from growing up in conservative, controlling, or religious households

  • Fear of death and dying — your own, your loved ones, your pets, your aging parents, someone you know with terminal illness

Therapy for Couples, Partners, and Siblings

I offer relationship therapy for couples, partners, and siblings virtually across California and in-person in Los Angeles. Common goals my clients have in relationship and couples therapy are to:

  • Reestablish physical, intellectual, and emotional intimacy and explore what gets in the way

  • Address cycles of feeling alone, unappreciated, upset, and resentful in your relationship

  • Build a foundation of trust and communication while navigating ethical non-monogamy

  • Process grief related to miscarriage and early pregnancy loss, pet loss, childhood trauma, and chronic illness

  • Learn how to communicate frustrations and worries without it escalating

  • Address how parental and cultural expectations have contributed to cycles of conflict in your family dynamic

  • Develop a plan for how to be of support and care to aging parents

  • Identify how to make sense of the anticipated death of your loved one, how to honor your life with them now, and how to honor their legacy once they pass

Support Groups

I offer support groups virtually in California and in-person in Los Angeles. My clients often seek support groups so that feel less alone as they:

  • Navigate the loss of a partner/spouse, parent, friend, sibling, or pet

  • Address feeling alone, isolated, and stuck

  • Learn how to build healthy relationships — romantic, platonic, and familial

  • Explore how societal and cultural norms around masculinity impacts relationships dynamics

  • Engage in mindfulness skills for anxiety, change, and life transitions

Support groups usually run for 6 to 10 weeks and have a group size anywhere from 6 to 8 participants.

My Approach to Therapy

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

An experiential model that engages you in activities to heal trauma, change behaviors, and process difficult emotions in real time.

Through IFS Therapy I help you feel less overwhelmed, more connected to yourself, and more compassionate towards yourself and others.

Somatic Therapy

An approach for understanding how your body expresses and internalizes painful experiences and emotions.

I help you practice somatic exercises to help you be in relationship with your body and nervous system, such that you can navigate states of activation, shutdown, and fight/flight.

Expressive Arts Therapy

A form of therapy that provides you a space to externalize your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and experiences through creative outlets.

I integrate activities that lean on clay, music, writing, and poetry to help you process what feels difficult or confusing to name out loud.
