If you keep circling the same patterns — in your relationships, your creative work, or the quiet anxiety underneath both — you already know that surface-level fixes haven't held. I work with individuals, couples, and adolescents navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, creative blocks, grief, and that hard-to-name feeling of being stuck. I'm a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, and after years working in the arts myself, I have a particular home with artists and creative professionals — people whose inner lives are their raw material.

I work from a psychoanalytic perspective, which means we go deep rather than fast. Together we'll trace the repetitive dynamics shaping your choices — the childhood experiences, family patterns, losses, and loves still exerting quiet influence — and explore the dreams, fantasies, and key relationships stirring pain or longing in you now. This isn't ready-made advice; it's a genuinely collaborative excavation of your inner world, designed for lasting transformation rather than quick patches.

Space to speak freely, and someone listening with depth, curiosity, and warmth. We'll start with what brought you in and begin noticing — together — the threads worth following, moving at your pace rather than a protocol's. I see clients in my Pasadena office and by telehealth, and if you're wondering whether this way of working fits you, reaching out is a fine first way to find out.
