It is my belief that transformation and healing ultimately rest within us all. Therapy is a journey toward reclaiming wholeness and joy that are inherent to being human.
Whether you are struggling to adjust to life stressors and losses or seeking personal transformation and growth, I am committed to helping you move forward, improve your capacity to grow and accept change, and consider a bigger, more hopeful vision of your life. If you need marriage counseling in Los Angeles or holistic psychotherapy, please take your time to read through my website and contact me for a consultation.
What parts are you moved to explore? What is calling for change in you?

Areas of specialty include helping individuals and couples work through intimacy and relationship challenges, life transitions, issues stemming from childhood, grief/loss, anxiety, depression, generational trauma, as well as issues surrounding cultural adjustment and identity.

We each have a history that is eager to make itself known. How you understand your history determines your decisions, actions, and outlook on life. Self-awareness ultimately shapes the quality of your significant relationships, including the one with yourself. What is the foundation from which you move and integrate your life experiences?
I do not presume to have the answers or know what is right for you. My job is to help you understand yourself as deeply as possible, so that we can work together to help you live and embrace your relationship with yourself and others in a way that is healthy, vibrant and meaningful for you.
I recognize that therapy can be daunting. The process of identifying and changing patterns of thought and behavior can sometimes bring up uncomfortable feelings. Growth and change may be easy and swift at times, but can also be slow and frustrating. This is a normal part of the therapeutic process. It takes courage, patience, and commitment to develop a more integrated relationship with the past.
I offer a supportive and collaborative space in which men and women can find greater clarity and well-being within the complexity of their lives. I would welcome an opportunity to accompany you on your journey toward deeper self- awareness and change.
