Ways to work with me

    EMDR

    I’m a California-based EMDR Therapist. EMDR helps your brain process experiences that are still causing distress — trauma, loss, painful memories — so they no longer intrude on your present life.

    During sessions, I guide you through bilateral stimulation (eye movements, tapping, or sound) while you focus on specific memories or patterns. This activates your brain's natural healing process, allowing stuck material to integrate and resolve.

    The work is paced and relational. You're not reliving trauma — you're helping your system complete what it couldn't at the time. Over time, the emotional charge softens, reactivity decreases, and you experience more agency and ease.

    I offer online therapy anywhere in California.

    Couples Therapy

    I offer couples therapy in Echo Park and virtually throughout California- informed by Imago Relationship Therapy, with a focus on understanding how early attachment patterns shape adult relationships. This work helps partners move out of reactive cycles and into more conscious, compassionate connection.

    Sessions emphasize slowing things down, listening differently, and staying present with each other—even during conflict. Over time, couples develop greater safety, clarity, and capacity to repair, rather than repeating familiar patterns.

    Parts Work

    I offer parts-based therapy informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a focus on understanding how different aspects of the self develop in response to life experience and stress. This work helps clients relate to internal dynamics with more curiosity, clarity, and compassion.

    Sessions emphasize noticing patterns, softening inner conflict, and strengthening a grounded, observing presence. Over time, clients experience greater self-leadership, flexibility, and internal coherence, rather than feeling driven by protective or reactive parts.

    Grief Work

    I offer grief-focused therapy for people going through divorce, breakups, and profound relationship loss. When a bond ends, it can feel devastating—like the loss of a future, an identity, and the life you thought you were building. The pain is not only emotional; it can shake your sense of safety, meaning, and who you are in the world.

    This kind of loss is often an initiation—an unchosen passage that changes you at every level. Sessions offer a place to stay with that transformation without rushing, bypassing, or facing it alone. Over time, grief becomes something that can be carried and integrated, rather than something that overtakes your entire life.

    Coaching

    Coaching is a non-clinical, goal-focused service that supports insight, creativity, and forward movement around life transitions, relationships, and work. Unlike therapy, coaching does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions and is not a substitute for psychotherapy. Coaching may be appropriate for individuals who live outside California or who are seeking structured support focused on clarity, accountability, and creative problem-solving rather than clinical treatment.

  • Premarital Therapy

    Premarital therapy helps couples build a strong foundation before marriage by exploring communication styles, expectations, values, and potential areas of conflict. Together, we work on skills that help you navigate differences, manage finances as a team, and show up for each other through life's challenges.

    Looking for a meaningful wedding gift? Six weeks of premarital therapy makes an excellent group gift—friends and family can pool together to give a couple the sessions that set them up for success. Reach out to discuss how this works.
