Offering a warm, humanistic space to deepen your relationships with yourself and others, to explore your own uniqueness, feel more deeply, and sometimes just to feel better.
I view therapy as humanistic and relational: client-led, curious, and always non-judgmental. Drawing from several modalities, my approach is tailored to what each person or couple needs rather than a single fixed framework.
Couples work is where much of my focus lives, and all relationship structures are welcome, non-traditional and traditional alike. I am very LGBTQ+ and kink informed and friendly.
IFS is an experiential, meditative approach that understands the mind as made up of distinct "parts," each with its own perspective and protective role. This approach helps people develop compassion for all aspects of themselves and build greater inner clarity and self-leadership.
An attachment-based model that helps couples and individuals identify and shift the emotional patterns keeping them stuck. EFT is one of the most well-researched approaches to couples therapy and a cornerstone for how I work, with couples and individuals.
Rooted in the belief that healing happens in relationship, this approach pays close attention to the therapeutic relationship itself as a site of growth, and to the patterns that show up between people across all areas of life.
A general framework that underlies everything in my approach, grounded in genuine curiosity about your experience and a firm belief in your capacity for growth. Wherever you are right now is a valid place to start.
I grew up on the East Coast, and I try to carry that mix of intellectual curiosity and cultural energy into my life and work.
Before becoming a therapist I spent many years in the entertainment industry. I continue to love films, novels, and stories, and work with many clients who are creatives and/or in the industry themselves.
I'm currently a counselor at Southern California Counseling Center, working with adults, couples, and minors, and as part of the school-based program at Animo Compton Charter School, where I work with junior high and high school students.
Between my partner and myself we are raising five kids, which deeply informs the way I understand relationships and the work of staying connected to the people we love.
Look, finding a therapist can be a challenge in itself. If you think we might work well together—or if you just want to talk about what kind of therapist you might work best with—feel free to reach out for a free consultation.
