Personal & Relationship Therapy
Psychotherapy for Individuals, Partners, Couples, and Groups based in California.Finding the right therapist can feel like a dating app for your mental health. You may catch yourself scrolling through awkward bios, wondering what the person is actually like, and hoping you don’t want to bail after the first meeting.
Is this you?
Take a minute to think about how many times you’ve looked at therapist profiles or told yourself, “Maybe it’s time to start therapy again,” or “ I should really go to therapy” or “We need to go to couples therapy before we do the same (expletive deleted) dance again.”
Perhaps you have old wounds that keep resurfacing, a self-esteem that could win a limbo contest, a new life chapter that’s stretching you in unexpected ways. Or maybe you are tired of being stagnant and want more in your life and relationships. Whatever it may be, you have taken the first step to do something different.
I’ve been working with individuals and couples/partners for over 15 years helping people navigate a wide range of troubles. From anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions to desired personal growth and identity work. I specialize in complex trauma (CPTSD), anxiety, depression, self-esteem, emotional distress and regulation, high-conflict, neurodivergence, LGBTQ+ identity, kink, and ethical non-monogamy (ENM). Basically people whose lives, emotions, relationships, and experiences don’t always fit into neat little boxes.
Sessions with me are active, collaborative, and grounded in both compassion and honesty. I’m direct, but always with empathy and curiosity. I’m not the kind of therapist who just asks, “And how does that make you feel?” We’ll go deeper to understand why things feel the way they do, what’s driving the patterns in your life and relationships, and we will clear your troubles from the root.
Drawing from a range of modalities including EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), CBT, Mindfulness, and somatic approaches, we’ll explore how your experiences show up in your thoughts, emotions, and body. Together, we’ll use targeted tools and techniques to get to the origin of patterns and create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is for you to leave each session with something valuable whether that’s a new insight, a strategy you can try, something to implement, or a new shift you can carry into your everyday life.
With me, you can expect real depth, yet without the dread. The work can be serious, but it doesn’t have to feel solemn and we will laugh at times as a reminder that even tough work can have moments of levity.
