Therapy Services

Therapy that works as hard as you do.

For people who work hard, expect a lot of themselves, and want more from their life, work, and relationships.

01
The Foundation
We start where you are. From the first session you are met with warmth, curiosity, and a real commitment to understanding your life. This is a space dedicated to understanding all of you, your present, your past, and what you want for your future, with care and without judgment, regardless of what you bring to therapy.
02
An Active Stance
I am not a passive observer. I view therapy as a dynamic collaboration. I will listen deeply, but I will also challenge you, interrupt unhelpful narratives, and offer direct feedback.
03
Strategy, Not Just Support
Empathy is essential, and on its own it does not create change. The goal is to move from insight to real change, equipping you with the tools, accountability, and support to do things differently.

In-person and virtual sessions available. Evening and weekend hours offered.

How I Help

My approach pairs depth-focused insight with practical strategy. We identify the patterns underneath the problem, then work to change them. Sometimes that means reconnecting with yourself, processing grief or trauma you have carried for a long time, or finding the clarity to make a hard decision with confidence. This is not about managing symptoms. It is about lasting change and a healthier way of living.

The Goal

The work is about building the capacity to enjoy the life you have worked hard to create. Not just less stress, but more connection, more intimacy, and more joy, and a healthier relationship with yourself, your loved ones, and your work.

01 Individual Therapy
Individual Therapy
Depth-focused work for people who are used to succeeding everywhere except, sometimes, inside their own lives. We look honestly at what is working, where there is room for growth, and what is getting in the way, then work toward real change.
Areas of Focus
High-Functioning Anxiety+
You perform at a high level, and underneath it there is a constant hum that never fully quiets, no matter how much you accomplish. We work to understand the source of it, so performing feels steadier and rest feels possible.
Depression and Emptiness+
For people who achieve, depression rarely looks like sadness. It looks like flatness, numbness, or an emptiness that lingers even when everything looks good on paper. We work to understand what is underneath it and help you reconnect to your life.
Burnout+
Burnout is not a scheduling problem and a vacation will not fix it. It comes from a long gap between who you are and how you are living. We work to close that gap so your energy can come back.
Perfectionism+
Perfectionism served a purpose once, and at some point it started costing you more than it gives. We work to keep the drive that built your success while loosening the part that keeps you stuck.
Relational Isolation+
Success can quietly create distance, leaving your relationships feeling guarded or transactional. We work on staying fully yourself while building real closeness with the people you love.
Imposter Syndrome+
The gap between everything you have accomplished and how you actually feel about yourself is one of the most common experiences among high achievers. We work to close that gap so your confidence can catch up to your life.
Trauma and PTSD+
Unresolved trauma shapes how you live now in ways that are hard to see from the inside. Using proven, trauma-focused approaches, we work through what you have been carrying so the past loosens its hold on the present.
Addiction and Substance Use+
For high performers, dependency often hides in plain sight. We treat substance use as a coping strategy that has stopped serving you, and work toward ones that do.
Compulsive Behaviors+
Compulsive behavior takes many forms, including substance use, binge eating, endless scrolling, shopping, and the other ways we reach for something to fill a void. We work to understand what the behavior is doing for you and find healthier ways to meet that need, without shame and without secrecy.

02 Couples Therapy
Couples Therapy
The same argument on repeat. A betrayal that has not healed. A distance that has been growing for years. This work is structured, active, and honest about what change asks of both people.
Conflict tends to follow the same loop every time. The goal is not just to stop fighting. It is to understand what keeps setting it off and work toward handling hard conversations without tearing down the closeness between you.

03 Group Therapy
Group Therapy
Powerful work for people who thrive at work but want more depth in their personal lives. Group therapy works because the patterns that trip you up in real life show up right inside the room, which is exactly what makes the feedback land and the change hold.
Who Benefits
  • Feeling isolated. You have people around you but do not feel truly known.
  • Intellectualizing feelings. You analyze emotions well but struggle to feel or express them in the moment.
  • Relational patterns. Conflict, withdrawal, or anxiety that follows you from one relationship to the next.
  • Ready for honest feedback. Prepared to hear how you affect others in a confidential, supportive setting.
Current openings are listed under Group Therapy.
04 Family Therapy
Family Therapy
When a family is struggling, the disconnection, distance, and ruptures can be painful for everyone in it. We look at how the whole family fits together and work to repair what has been strained and rebuild closeness and understanding.
Areas of Focus
  • Communication breakdowns. Repeating loops that lead to misunderstanding and resentment.
  • Behavioral concerns in children and teens. Read as signals of stress in the family rather than simple defiance.
  • Sibling conflict. Including perceived favoritism and undefined boundaries.
  • Major life transitions. Moves, loss, and financial shifts that destabilize the home.
  • Blended family challenges. Stepparent roles, loyalty binds, and merging two household cultures.
  • Parenting disputes. Closing the gap between parents to create consistency for the children.
05 Intensives
Intensives
For people with demanding schedules or urgent needs, when waiting a week between sessions is not enough. Intensives skip the slow build and go straight to the heart of the work, making progress in a single focused window that would otherwise take months.
Available in person in Hermosa Beach and virtually across California. Formats range from extended 90-minute sessions to half-day and full-day work.
Why Intensives Work
  • Faster progress. A standard session loses time to settling in and winding down. Intensives keep the momentum going.
  • Couples in crisis. When a relationship is reeling from infidelity or at the brink, waiting a week between sessions is not workable.
  • Trauma processing. Intensives let the work reach a real resolution in one sitting instead of leaving you opened up between sessions.
  • Built around you. Structured to your goals and schedule. No single format fits every situation.
