Whether in Person in Los Angeles or Virtually Throughout CA You will be Met with Warmth, Understanding, and Empathy

The Therapeutic Relationship

I am committed to creating a safe space for my clients to feel seen, heard, and understood so healing, growth, and transformation can take place.

What to Expect

Early Sessions

Before your first session think about the challenges that are bringing you to therapy and what you hope to get out of it. It’s ok to be unsure. You don’t need all the answers

During your first visit we will discuss your background, current concerns, health history, and goals for therapy. It is normal to feel nervous as we get to know each other.

Stay curious about yourself and the process. You will never be judged so be real and ask questions about me, my style, what to expect, or how I think I can help.

After the first session reflect on your feelings and make notes of things that you want to revisit. I will always welcome your feedback because effective therapy is collaborative when you feel safe, heard, and understood.

Ongoing Sessions

My eclectic background, training, and experience allows me to tailor our work to help you achieve your goals.

If you are navigating life transitions, identity questions, long term trauma, existential concerns, or seeking personal growth or understanding, traditional talk therapy with a Depth Psychology perspective has proven to be an effective approach. Our work could also include dreamwork, images, myths and archetype analysis.

Based on your goals for therapy we may use evidence based practices such as EMDR which has been shown to help people recover from trauma without talking at length about the experience or CBT which focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors. We may also include Somatic Psychotherapy and Mindfulness Practices, if appropriate.

“In our yearning to be perfect, we have mistaken perfection for wholeness. We think we cannot love ourselves until we and others meet some external standard. Depression, anxiety—in fact, most neuroses and compulsions—are ultimately a defense against loving ourselves without condition.”
