I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles and love this work. I came to therapy through an unconventional path — nearly a decade in film and photography, work as a youth counselor, and service in the military — all of which deeply shaped how I understand people and their stories.
I earned my master's degree from Pacifica Graduate Institute, where I focused on psychodynamic and depth-oriented approaches. My thesis centered on ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, a specialty I've continued developing through advanced trainings I've completed.
I work with individuals, couples, adolescents & families across a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular love for working with creative professionals, veterans and young adults. I'm LGBTQ+ affirmative and love working with folks from the queer community.
My practice spans traditional talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) — including psychedelic integration support for those processing experiences outside of our work together. I see clients in person in Atwater Village in Northeast LA, and virtually throughout California.

More that fifteen years of teaching English and drama at a Los Angeles public high school taught me many things - primarily, it taught me how often people's barriers to achievement are not due to any lack of skill or ability, but rather from emotional barriers stemming from stress, adversity and trauma. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders, PTSD (including Complex-PTSD) and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

I am a recently licensed counseling psychologist with extensive training and experience in psychotherapy, assessment, and psychology research. I have provided individual, couples, and group therapy at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center (now LGBT Center), the Los Angeles VA, the Boston VA, and Enki Health Services. I have enjoyed training and supervising student therapists at the University of West Georgia and the University of Redlands. I also teach psychology at UCLA Extension. In general, I am curious about the the human mind and I am dedicated to help others who are struggling.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Los Angeles
Finding the right couples therapist in Los Angeles starts with understanding what you and your partner need. Couples therapy can address a range of concerns — from communication patterns and trust to navigating major life transitions together. Licensed providers may use approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, or cognitive behavioral techniques, depending on your situation and goals. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match for both of you.
With thousands of licensed therapists practicing across Los Angeles — from Silver Lake and Echo Park to Santa Monica, Century City, and the South Bay — narrowing your options can feel like a project in itself. Consider what matters most: whether a provider specializes in the concerns you're facing, offers virtual or in-person sessions, and has availability that works with both of your schedules. A free phone consultation can also help you and your partner assess fit before committing to a first session.
Couples therapy in Los Angeles can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a couples therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
