I am a Los Angeles-based psychotherapist with 15-years experience in a private practice setting. I earned my B.A. in Psychology from Yale University, and attended Antioch University for graduate work in Clinical Psychology. My work with individuals is psychodynamic, looking at the ways in which early attachment experiences may affect relationships, life choices, and how we see ourselves and others.
In my work with couples, I use two approaches: The Gottman Method, in which I became Certified in 2015, and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, or EFT. Both methods are "evidence-based, " meaning they were developed using extensive research on how to help couples move from distress to greater closeness.

Services
Individual Therapy
Report
I offer Individual Therapy to help clients explore and resolve relationship issues, as well as to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. The core of my therapeutic approach is from a Psychodynamic perspective, in which one's understanding of oneself and one's relationships deepens as one reflects on it.
Couples Therapy
Report
Meaningful change often occurs in a relatively short amount of time using the Gottman tools. A long-term relationship is like a work of art - it requires vision, perseverance, and commitment. Even the closest couples find themselves stuck at times in a kind of gridlock, where certain issues arise again and again.
Coaching
Report
Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to help build a client's awareness and responsibility. Essential to this process is structure, support and feedback as clients set goals, take action, and make better decisions. Coaching has grown in popularity over the last couple of decades and encompasses a myriad of specialties and techniques, including business, career, finances, health, relationships, and spirituality.
