Individual Therapy
in Brentwood, Los Angeles
Therapy for Life Transitions
I work collaboratively with clients to navigate challenging milestones and life passages, from finding the way into adulthood, moving through midlife transformation, and grappling with issues of aging and loss.
A Relational Approach to Individual Therapy
I see the relationship between client and therapist as a place to work through patterns which show up in other relationships. Together we can process relational trauma, and explore new ways of relating to our experiences and to others. I pair this with expertise in couples and family therapy to help clients recognize and shift distressful patterns with loved ones.
Integrative Therapy for Anxiety, Depression and Trauma
I support clients through difficult experiences by integrating different therapeutic approaches based on each person’s individual needs, including CBT, IFS and EMDR.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) aka Parts Work
IFS says we’re all complex and made of many different parts. That’s why we experience uncertainty, confusion, and overwhelm. In IFS therapy we listen to what your system’s telling you, and learn to understand and support it.
What to expect from Individual Therapy
You can expect to feel seen and heard in your first session. Therapy is not about diagnosing and pathologizing. As we get to know each other, we will work together using various exercises and techniques to support your individual goals and create the change you seek. I will learn about the experiences which shaped you with a focus on whatever is bringing you to therapy, and how those things may intersect. Many of my clients are exploring relationships with themselves and those they love, navigating changes such as launching into adulthood or midlife, and processing past traumatic events. Everything you share with a therapist is confidential so you can expect to have a place you can explore sensitive topics without hurting anyone or spreading gossip. Sessions are 50 minutes in-person in Brentwood, Los Angeles or via telehealth throughout California.
