Great to meet you!

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly ten years of clinical experience.

I believe that life is most satisfying when the relationships we have with our 'Self,' with 'Others,' and with our 'Family' are healthy and balanced.

Most often, the issues and problems that bring people into therapy in my West Hollywood office result from imbalances and relationship problems in any of these areas that is impeding their personal growth and living a fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

I'm a trained psychodynamic therapist and love to work with adult clients to help improve insight and self-awareness. Understanding the unconscious processes that guide are behaviors is the first step in changing ourselves.

Relationship concerns with other people, whether they be at work, home, or in our friendship group, can have a profound and wide range of impacts on us. I work to help clients grow healthy, happy relationships.
