PSYCHOTHERAPY THAT MEETS YOU WHERE YOU ARE – AND HELPS YOU MOVE FORWARD

Locally in Los Angeles and Virtually in all of CA, PA, FL, & NM

Life can look successful on the outside while feeling overwhelming on the inside, or perhaps difficulties have made daily life unmanageable.  Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, emotional upheavals, depression, relationship conflict, the effects of single episode or complex trauma, alcohol and/or drug problems, life transitions, or grief, or you don’t have to navigate it alone.

We believe effective therapy is built on trust, a meaningful plan of action, and genuine human connection.  Therapy begins with thorough assessment, where you tell your story and perspective, and we help break down and interpret the nature of the difficulties, guide the direction of treatment, and achieve goals. Together we will assist you in gaining clarity and insight, in strengthening and healing relationships, developing resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Our practice brings together two experienced therapists with complementary strengths but the same value and commitment to assisting people change for the better.  We draw from evidence-based approaches tailored to each client rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all method. Therapy should fit your goals and your unique life experience and life.

Taking the first step can be difficult. Our goal is to make it easier by providing a welcoming, thoughtful, and collaborative place where lasting change is possible.
