Thoughtful Therapy for Adults & Couples
Experienced Psychotherapist in Playa del Rey with Telehealth Throughout California
I am a Licensed Psychotherapist focused on providing high-quality individual and couples therapy in Playa del Rey, easily accessible for both West Los Angeles and the South Bay, and via Telehealth in California.
Who I work with: People often reach out to me with a specific challenge, such as relationship issues, feeling depressed or anxious, or working through a trauma or a life transition. Other times, they reach out because they sense that something within needs attention or they want more out of life or their relationships. Together, we explore the presenting issue, while also keeping an eye on the deeper parts, since, in my experience, that is the way towards meaningful change.
I like to work with psychologically curious individuals and couples who want to understand themselves and their relationships better. Trained in various approaches to individual and couples therapy, I focus on providing high-quality therapy tailored specifically to each person.
Why work with me? My professional background includes over 20 years of clinical experience; education at Yale, the London School of Economics, and USC; teaching at USC School of Social Work; and research experience at UCLA. My writing has appeared in Psychology Today, Psyche, Men’s Health, and Thrive Global. I also write the monthly therapy column in the Hometown News and a Substack called Relational Insights.
I have had the privilege, both personally and professionally, of encountering people from different walks of life, some with power and in the public eye, some marginalized or disfranchised. I welcome each person or couple to share their unique story.
