Trauma-Informed Individual & Couples Therapy in Los Angeles
I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and repeating painful patterns. I will help you feel more connected to yourself, your body, and your relationships.
I offer in-person sessions in Silver Lake and virtually throughout California and Colorado.
My Approach
We are shaped by more than what we consciously know about ourselves. Old experiences, relationships, protective patterns, and parts of ourselves can quietly (or loudly) influence how we feel, who we’re drawn to, and where we get stuck. Depth-oriented therapy goes below the surface, bringing what has been unconscious into greater awareness.
When we look beneath the surface, we discover different aspects of ourselves. Jung called these complexes. Today, we might also understand them through parts work or Internal Family Systems Therapy. Some parts have been with us for a long time, while others may have developed later. Each serves a function, often protecting us from pain, even when it can feel like it’s causing us trouble. In our work, we get to know these different parts and learn how to relate to them like, well, a family.
Understanding how our earliest relationships shaped the ways we learned to relate to ourselves and others, and how those patterns show up in our lives is part of the work. Together, we can explore how to relate in real time, creating more room for mutuality, trust, and genuine connection.
The capacity to stay with and tolerate what we experience is an essential aspect of being human. Mindfulness is an incredible tool for helping us navigate the full experience of pain, pleasure, and everything in between—both in body and mind.
If you’re tired of escaping, attempting to fix, or judging your discomfort, you’re in the right place. Please see the Therapy Services links below for additional information about how we can work together.
Who I Work With
I work with people from diverse backgrounds, identities, and relationship structures, including LGBTQ+ clients, neurodivergent people, and those in nontraditional relationships and lifestyles. I am a Kink Aware Professional and offer therapy that is culturally aware, affirming, sex-positive, and nonjudgmental.
Many of my clients are thoughtful, introspective people navigating questions around identity, relationships, creativity, purpose, emotional overwhelm, or longstanding relational patterns.
I work with artists and creatives, students, caregivers, healers, fellow therapists and mental health professionals, and people working in fields including entertainment, tech, healthcare, education, hospitality, and nonprofit and social-service work.
