Working with me…
Why Therapy with Me is Different
Depth-Oriented Therapy for Lasting Change
Therapy for Anxiety, Depression & Relationship Issues Brentwood, Los Angeles & Telehealth Across California
I provide depth-oriented therapy for high-functioning adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns that haven’t changed despite insight or prior therapy.
My practice is located in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and I also offer telehealth therapy throughout California.
How I Work
Most people who come to see me are not new to thinking deeply about themselves.
You may already understand why you feel the way you do. You may have tried to make changes—on your own or in previous therapy. And yet, something still feels stuck. The same feelings return. The same relationship patterns repeat. A sense of anxiety, disconnection, or dissatisfaction lingers.
Therapy offers a space to slow down and begin to understand these experiences in a deeper and more meaningful way.
Looking Beneath the Surface
In our work together, we focus not only on what is happening in your life now, but also on the underlying emotional patterns shaping your experience.
Often, the ways we relate to ourselves and others were formed earlier in life—patterns that once made sense, but may now feel limiting, painful, or out of alignment with who you are.
As a psychologist in Brentwood, Los Angeles, I use a depth-oriented, psychoanalytic approach to help uncover these patterns—so you can experience greater flexibility, clarity, and freedom in your life and relationships.
When Insight Isn’t Enough
At times, you may understand something intellectually, but it still doesn’t feel different.
When this happens, I integrate evidence-based approaches, including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for anxiety, overthinking, and negative thought patterns
EMDR therapy for trauma, anxiety, and emotionally unresolved experiences
EMDR is a research-supported therapy that can help process experiences that continue to impact how you feel, relate, and respond.
The goal is not only to understand your story—but to help it no longer carry the same emotional weight.
The Experience of Therapy
I aim to create a space that feels thoughtful, grounded, and emotionally attuned—where you can speak openly and feel genuinely understood.
At times, our work may be reflective and exploratory. At other times, more direct and focused. I balance meeting you where you are with gently challenging patterns that no longer serve you.
There may be moments of clarity, discomfort, and meaningful shift. All are part of the process of change.
Over Time
As therapy unfolds, many clients begin to notice meaningful shifts:
Feeling less overwhelmed by anxiety or intrusive thoughts
Responding differently in relationships
Developing greater clarity and self-trust
Letting go of patterns that once felt automatic
Feeling more connected—to themselves and to others
Change is often gradual, but deeply impactful.
If you are looking for therapy in Brentwood, Los Angeles or telehealth therapy in California that supports real, lasting change, I would be glad to work with you.

Who I Work Best With
I work with high-functioning adults who appear capable and put-together on the outside, but internally feel stuck, overwhelmed, or dissatisfied.
Many of my clients have insight into their patterns—and sometimes prior therapy experience—yet continue to struggle with anxiety, depression, or recurring relationship issues.
They are not looking for quick fixes, but for a deeper understanding of themselves and meaningful, lasting change.
Getting Started
The process begins with a brief 15–20 minute phone consultation to determine whether working together feels like a good fit.
If so, we will schedule an initial session and establish a consistent weekly time to begin therapy.
I offer both in-person therapy in Brentwood, Los Angeles and telehealth sessions throughout California.
Why Therapy with Me is Different
My style is direct, honest, and engaged—while also warm, thoughtful, and empathic.
I balance meeting you where you are with helping you move toward meaningful growth. I am mindful of the time and financial investment you are making, and I strive to ensure that our work is both purposeful and impactful.
I welcome feedback and view therapy as a collaborative process.
In our work together, you will not only gain insight—you will begin to experience and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others.
My approach integrates:
Psychoanalytic therapy for deep, lasting change
EMDR therapy for trauma and emotional processing
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for practical tools
A focus on long-term relational and emotional transformation
