EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — is a structured, evidence-based therapy for memories that are still doing damage. Through 8 defined phases and bilateral stimulation (usually eye movements), your brain gets to finish processing what got stuck. It's particularly established for PTSD and trauma, but also effective for anxiety, depression, phobias, grief, insomnia and creative blocks. You don't have to relive the details to do the work.

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.

I offer Couples Therapy in Los Angeles and Online.

Most couples spend a year planning the wedding and almost no time planning the marriage. Premarital therapy is a chance to slow down before the vows and have the conversations that actually shape a marriage — money, sex, family, conflict, and the patterns each of you is bringing in. A meaningful addition to any wedding registry. Learn More

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.

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.

The Difficult Conversation Practice GroupWednesday evenings · group therapy · screened intake

There are conversations many of us have been carrying for years.

Things we needed to say. Boundaries we never learned how to hold. Grief that never fully moved through. Anger that became silence. Words we wish someone had said to us long ago.

DIFF-CO is an experiential psychotherapy group designed to refine the practice of discerning what needs to be said, how to say it, and then saying it. Learn More Here.

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.

A guided breath practice for stress, anxiety, and nervous system regulation. We work with paced breathing (documented effects on heart rate variability and vagal tone) and three-part connected breath (helps process emotional material that's stuck in the body). The framing is empirical and embodied. The breath is the tool. Sessions are 60 minutes, in person or online.
